Dash Mushroom: Difference between revisions

The '''Dash Mushroom''', commonly called simply the '''Mushroom''', is a type of [[mushroom]] physically identical to a [[Super Mushroom]] that is used for speed boosts, especially in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. It is also used to represent the [[Mushroom Cup]].

In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', the Mushroom (also named '''Speed Mushroom'''<ref>{{cite|date=April 1997|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #49|page={{file link|NMS Australia 49 MK64 drivers and items.jpg|39}}}}</ref>) returns with two new variations, the [[Triple Mushroom]], which provides three speed boosts, and the [[Golden Dash Mushroom|Super Mushroom]], which allows unlimited boosts for a short period. In this game, ramming into another racer while boosting from a Mushroom causes the opponent to spin out. In this game, the Mushroom is only a moderately common item, and cannot be obtained behind 5th place.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Mushrooms are called Dash Mushrooms for the first time, albeit only in British English materials.<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/Nintendo-3DS-games/Mario-Kart-7-274402.html|title=''Mario Kart 7''|language=en-gb|publisher=Nintendo of UK|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}{{dead link}}</ref><ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Nintendo-3DS/Mario-Kart-7-274402.html Mario Kart 7].

The Mushroom can be gained from 1st to 5th place in this game. Just like in ''Mario Kart Wii'', Gooombas drop Mushrooms in the course when hit by items.

Dash Mushrooms are items in certain events of the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]. Like in the ''Mario Kart'' series, they grant a temporary boost in speed. In the [[Nintendo DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'', Dash Mushrooms appear in the [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Nintendo DS)|Dream Race]] event, where they give the player a short speed boost when used. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], Dash Mushrooms appear as items in [[Dream Platform]], where they give the character a five second speed boost when used. In the Nintendo DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'', they are used in [[Supersonic Downhill]], where they are scattered randomly throughout the course, and allow the player to perform a Mushroom Dash by pressing the B Button; up to five Mushrooms can be stored at once.
