Poison Mushrooms are poisonous mushrooms from the Mario, first appearing in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. In the Super Smash Bros. series, Poison Mushrooms are items first appearing in Super Smash Bros. Melee and returning in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Poison Mushrooms resemble Super Mushrooms, except Poison Mushrooms are slightly duller and have an angrier look. Poison Mushrooms have the opposite effects of Super Mushrooms in that they temporarily shrink whoever touches them, for about ten seconds, rather than enlarge them. While shrunk, fighters deal less damage, at around 0.6x as of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, their hitboxes are smaller, they are five-eighths their normal weight, and their voice and sound effects are higher pitched. Characters under the effects of a Poison Mushroom have better recovery, although edge sweet spotting has decreased damage. Bowser and Little Mac are not affected by Poison Mushrooms while being Giga Bowser and Giga Mac, respectively.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee, during the Underground Maze, the screen zooms in to the player's fighter if they are under the effects of a Poison Mushroom. Their trophy incorrectly lists Super Mario All-Stars as their debut appearance.
Another trophy of a Poison Mushroom appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and another one shared between both Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. In the latter game, the Poison Mushroom trophy can be obtained by clearing the Fire-Type Frenzy event.

Poison Mushroom | Super Mario All-Stars 08/93 |
Randomly obtainable from one of the single-player modes or the Lottery after playing 200 VS matches. | |
Description | |||
Poison Mushrooms made their debut in Super Mario All-Stars, where they'd cost characters a life if picked up. These nasty fungi are dark and foul-tasting, and in Super Smash Bros. Melee, they make you shrink on contact. With your diminished stature comes a loss of power and mass, making you a prime target to get smashed offscreen with even a light attack. |

Poison Mushroom | 3DS: Random drop Wii U: Clear the Fire-Type Frenzy event. | ||
Description | |||
NTSC: Becoming giant and looming over your foes is pretty great, yeah? Well, that won't happen if you get this mushroom. It looks a lot like the Super Mushroom, but it's a slightly different color and its face is... unhappy. If you use this mushroom, you'll shrink down and be easy to send flying. PAL: So, you thought you'd nabbed a Super Mushroom, eh? Nope! Now you're tiny! If you'd looked more closely, you'd have seen it was a slightly different colour - it was a Poison Mushroom. Now you're mini, weak and very launchable. At least dodging's not hard when you're this size! |
