Template:Item-infobox

Mushroom Trampolines[1], also simply known as "mushroom platforms"[2] and "pink toadstools"[3], are a type of platform that appear in several Super Mario games as well as the Mario Kart series. As they are trampolines, the player will bounce while standing on them, similar to a Note Block or Springboard. In the platformer games, holding down the button when the player jumps results in a higher jump.

History

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros.

Mushroom Trampolines in New Super Mario Bros.

Debuting in New Super Mario Bros., Mushroom Trampolines appear most prominently in World 1-5, but also appear in World 1-3 and World 7-4. In this game, they are pink with lighter-colored spots and will bounce the player even higher if they press the jump button at the correct time.

New Super Mario Bros. 2

Mushroom Trampolines return in New Super Mario Bros. 2 in a few stages, namely in World Flower-3. Here, their spots are peach-colored and their undersides are orange.

Mushroom Trampolines also appear in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World, serving the same purpose as in the 2D games. In these games, they are orange with yellow spots, and only a few of them have stalks.

Super Mario Maker 2

Mushroom Trampolines from Super Mario 3D World appear in Super Mario Maker 2 in the Super Mario 3D World style. They can be changed to blue, which causes them to remain stationary. Another variant, the ON/OFF Trampoline, added in version 3.0.0, is activated by pressing an ON/OFF Switch.

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart Wii

In Mario Kart Wii, the cave section of Mushroom Gorge features multiple Mushroom Trampolines, which racers must bounce on to traverse the bottomless pit. Additionally, bouncing off Mushroom Trampolines allows the racer to perform Tricks. Only the red mushrooms are Mushroom Trampolines, however, as the green ones are Mushroom Platforms and do not bounce racers up. Many Mushroom Trampolines can also be seen in the background in the cave.

Mushroom Trampolines were also featured in tournaments. For the second tournament of July 2009, many Mushroom Trampolines were placed on Yoshi Falls. The player had to bounce over sections of water to complete the track. For the first tournament of April 2010, the player had to bounce around Mushroom Trampolines in the middle of the sea in Peach Beach.

Mario Kart 7

Mushroom Gorge returns in Mario Kart 7, although in this rendition of the course, one red Mushroom Trampoline is replaced by a blue-colored one, which not only bounces the racer up, but also triggers the kart's Glider in a similar fashion to a Glide Ramp. A single Mushroom Trampoline also appears on Mario Circuit, and a rainbow-colored one appears on Rainbow Road, which serves the same function.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

The Rainbow Road track from Mario Kart 7 appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as a stage, which includes the Mushroom Trampoline. However, unlike in the original game, it isn't bouncy and merely acts as one of the main platforms of the stage. It also has no effect on the Shy Guys that drive over it.[4]

Mario and Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

In Mario and Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, Mushroom Trampolines appear in the Dream Event, Snow Day Street Hockey (Market Street).

Mushrooms with properties similar to Mushroom Trampolines, called Bouncy Mushrooms[5][6], appear in Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge, where they are mainly present in Mushroom Hills. They are found facing upward or sideways and can be initially interacted with just as with any other platform or wall. However, Bouncy Mushrooms can be sprung forward by tapping the yellow button on them, which can be done to bounce a Mini to a higher platform if the Bouncy Mushroom is placed upward, or to catapult it past a gap if it is placed sideways.

Mario Tennis Aces

In Mario Tennis Aces, Toadette is seen jumping and bouncing on several circular pink-colored Mushroom Trampolines as part of her Special Shot.
