Super Mario

Learn about the Super Mario status in Super Mario World when you collect a Mushroom, gaining new abilities and a different look.

When you collect a Mushroom, you turn into Super Mario. This is generally the preferred status. If you are Small Mario, collecting a Mushroom will transform you. Alternatively, you might have the Mushroom stored in the Item Stock (a feature that holds extra items). Super Mario possesses several advantages over Small Mario. He can jump and hit blocks with greater effectiveness. Additionally, Super Mario can perform a spin jump, which is necessary to destroy the rotating blocks found in the game. Visually, Super Mario is also improved; Small Mario is described as looking like a crushed can.
