would it be worth mentioning that the red mushroom is based on amanita muscaria?
- Unless any evidence can be presented that the SMB mushroom was based off a particular mushroom variety, and not arbitrarily colored, I don't think that would be helpful. In past versions of this article, other claims have been made to what the mushroom is supposed to resemble, seemingly based off opinion. --Poiuyt Man talk 09:55, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Mario and This Powerup
Is it just me or have you noticed that Mario no longer needs this power-up anymore? My theory is, Mario has eaten so many that the effect of the Mushrooms has basically had a permanent effect and he is already Super without eating the mushroom anymore. Now all these things do is heal him, not make him grow. Your thoughts? -BTV
