Poison Mushroom	comment	An item which harms the player who picks it up or uses it instead of helping them. Differs from Power Up Letdown in that the harm it causes is direct and intentional, rather than from a design flaw. So, if it's harmful, why would anyone pick it up or use it? Players don't mean to, but poison mushrooms have four main ways of getting around that: In games where immediately useful items randomly drop from killed enemies or other things, having them sometimes be poison mushrooms serves to punish players for blindly chasing down items as soon as they appear. Sometimes they just wait in strategic locations for hapless players to stumble into them, in which case they serve as an obstacle to be avoided. Which raises questions: why would your character go out of their way to pick up something harmful? Or are we to understand that they literally absorb all in-game powerups via skin contact? Other times, they try to look similar to a beneficial item to trick a player into taking it. Beneficial and harmful items may differ only in color, which hurts players with poor color vision or a monochrome display. It could also be an item that has random effects, some of which are negative. Whatever their method, it's a Power-Up that powers you down instead. Contrast with Chest Monster, which is a monster that disguises itself as a Power-Up or other item, and Power-Up Letdown, which is a Power-Up that is unintentionally hindering. Compare Cursed Item, if the harm is magical; Booby Trap, which might be used to trick the player into picking up the item; and Zonk, a "prize" that isn't worth anything. For tropes about actual mushrooms, see Festering Fungus and Mushroom Man.

Poison Mushroom / int_10ddd3d5	comment	The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Purple Chus, which leave behind Purple Chu Jelly when killed. Other types of Chu Jelly are very useful, either restoring a good amount of health or as a Lantern Oil substitute, so Purple Jelly should have a good effect too, right? Wrong, they have a random effect: while they can heal a random amount of Hearts, they can also hurt you, even taking you down to a quarter of a Heart. The Nasty Soup, which can be gotten where you get the Lantern, has the same effect. The main purposes of Purple Chus are to make you fight a Chu without getting anything good out of it, or to have them in the same area as useful Chus, forcing you to kill the useful ones and grab their jelly before the purple ones absorb them and take away their useful qualities.

Kirby Super Star uses the ability as part of a challenge during "The Great Cave Offensive": one room has a number of Sleep powerup spots, a wind blowing towards the entrance, and a treasure at the far end. The trick is to get to the treasure without hitting a Sleep powerup, which will cause Kirby to fall asleep and be blown back to the entrance.

This is an especially nasty example considering it's the cheapest and earliest weapon available for purchase, but the fact stores in the game don't inform you of stats of any items for sale and you're unable to equip any weapons until it's replaced with something else means that buying it is dooming your save file to be an even bigger uphill battle than it already is.

What the hell is the point of this pin, and why can't we sell it? Well, one mission revolves around making this pin the next big thing, and to make it so you have to wear it in battle until the Gatito brand becomes #1 on the Scramble Crossing trend charts. And then plot-wise, this pin has a much worse effect: during Kitaniji's super happy fun brainwashing time, anyone wearing it but not the black Player Pin goes into "To right the countless wrongs of our day" mode. It also has an unintentional amusing Good Bad Bug use: by equipping it and then getting swarmed by tadpole enemies that also slow you down, Neku's speed loops around to negative, causing him moonwalk backwards away from where you point the stylus.

Poison Mushroom / int_1c1ceec7	comment	In the Monster Hunter series, prior to starting a quest in a zone, the player character can eat a combo of meals available in the village or city they're currently in. Most of the combos give special benefits, such as higher defense, higher attack power, and more health and/or stamina. But some combos can also leave the hunter tipsy, which in turn will activate an unfavorable effect known as "Unlucky Cat". It reduces drastically the Stamina capacity and also takes away 90% of the HP upon the start of the accepted quest. The joke will be on the game if you also have "Felyne Heroic" (food) or "Adrenaline" (armor/charm), however - those skills greatly increase your attack and defense when your health is critically low, so just fix your Stamina in that case.

However, Staniman Spork will drain your health instead. Several games have the AppStim RX and AppStim Half items, which also drain some of your health - interestingly, these are presented as a beneficial item, being bought at the medicine shops and described as "stimulates your digestive tract". Presumably, they're meant to make it more convenient and faster to eat all the foods in restaurants for 100% Completion, as you recover health when you eat - and if your health is full, your character won't eat at restaurants.

Because blue X are affiliated with the cold, Samus cannot absorb them due to her Metroid DNA and she'll suffer massive damage if she absorbs them. This also crosses with It Can Think since the blue X will gladly kamikaze into Samus to exploit her weakness. Once Samus regains the Varia Suit, the trope becomes inverted by making the blue X safe to absorb due to the Varia Suit regulating body temperature. After you absorb the first few blue X, the rest will flee in terror, now knowing Samus can absorb them harmlessly.

The "No Weed" bags in the last jungle level of the Genesis version are similar, in that they are intened to be used against Weed-ola, but Taz can also eat them, and in doing so, he will spit them out in disgust and lose some of his health. In Taz in Escape from Mars, eating a bomb, or anything that looks like a bomb, such as a cake with a dynamite stick in place of candles causes Taz to lose health. In Desert Speedtrap Starring Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote, Road Runner replenishes his health by eating from plates of birdseed. Some of these plates have explosives hidden inside the birdseed, and if Road Runner eats from them, he takes damage. In Cheese Cat-Astrophe Starring Speedy Gonzales, eating cheese replenishes any health Speedy may have lost. In the Mega Drive version, there is also rotten cheese. While it doesn't take away Speedy's health, it does temporarily make him run slower and jump lower.

Poison Mushroom / int_2dc12aeb	comment	NetHack: The loadstone weighs an obscene amount (more than some characters' suits of armor) but if picked up cannot be dropped unless you cast an uncurse spell on it (and it automatically re-curses itself if you pick it up again). Of course, it looks just like two moderately useful other items when unidentified, and magical identification only works on items you're carrying... (Though mercifully, a player can test unknown stones by kicking them; a loadstone won't move.) Several potions, even after being identified, can also be harmful if they are cursed, regardless of if you are aware of it or not. For example, potions of enlightenment usually give you insight and increase your wisdom, whereas cursed versions just reduce your wisdom. Potions of gain level usually give you an extra experience level, cursed versions warp you to the floor above you, that is, you gain a dungeon level. The Sink, Fountain, and Throne all have various effects when kicked/quaffed from, quaffed from, and sat upon respectively; most are beneficial, but negative effects are irritatingly common. In the upgrade Slash'EM, there are also Gypsies, who may cause anything from a free wish to instant death when talked to.

Poison Mushroom / int_36395288	comment	Kirby: The "Sleep" ability, gained from inhaling a Noddy, is absolutely useless in the vast majority of games; it puts Kirby to sleep, for approximately 5-10 seconds, leaving you vulnerable to any sort of enemy attacks. Kirby Super Star uses the ability as part of a challenge during "The Great Cave Offensive": one room has a number of Sleep powerup spots, a wind blowing towards the entrance, and a treasure at the far end. The trick is to get to the treasure without hitting a Sleep powerup, which will cause Kirby to fall asleep and be blown back to the entrance. The True Arena in Kirby Super Star Ultra always has a pedestal with the Sleep powerup and a pedestal with an actually useful ability, which combined with the 5 tomatoes that barely heal you instead of your precious Maxim Tomatoes just goes to show how Nintendo Hard The True Arena is. Kirby: Squeak Squad attempts to give Sleep a modicum of use: once you get the Copy Scroll for the ability, it will restore a small amount of health while you're asleep. Of course, you can just stock up food items in the touch-screen based inventory instead... There is also Kirby Air Ride, where hitting someone will put him to sleep too. But you still need a very good luck to hit someone when you can't turn... Air Ride's City trial mode has gray power up items, which reduce the stat they are for instead of raise it. There's also an event that makes some power up items turn fake. These have a subtly changed sprite and cause a small amount of damage if you grab one. In Forgotten Land, the Sleep ability is actually useful, as it heals Kirby, and the Noddy is usually in a safe location for Kirby to take a nap. However, one of the side rooms in Moonlight Canyon still weaponises a negative effect of this ability in a manner reminiscent of The Great Cave Offensive. It is a timed Waddle Dee segment with a bridge made of blocks that crumble when stepped on, and it is littered with Sleep Copy Essences and Noddies. Since Sleep causes Kirby to slow down drastically and eventually stop, thus falling into the abyss below, they must be avoided in order to rescue the Waddle Dee in time. This hazard is nullified if Sleep is upgraded to Deep Sleep, which doesn't slow Kirby down, and allows him to sleep at will instead of automatically. The blueprint for Deep Sleep is not found until a later level, however.

While it served a purpose in both Super Mario Bros. 3 and the previous book, in this story all it does is drag Luigi down and cause him to drown if he falls into a body of water. In an archery contest in The Shadow Prince, Link can either use a normal blue arrow, or a magic green arrow, or a Red Darknut Arrow. The former two will have him barely lose and be suspicious of his opponent's cheating, but the latter will kill him.

One particularly devious example, which you might not even see if you go straight to the end of the game as quickly as possible, is Yesterday's Wine. Deluxe Red Wine is a fairly decent healing item (though it gets outclassed later in the game), but after 24 hours (yes, of playing), it becomes Yesterday's Wine, which just gives you a Headache. And you ''need' to get each and every one of these for 100% Completion. Be careful not to use them by mistake.

Poison Mushroom / int_43536f02	comment	The fairly unimportant '96 Breakout clone named Twinblok has a powerup that temporarily transforms all balls on the field into tennis balls. They turn completely harmless to blocks and the sudden change in their behavior is often lethal, since you're still obligated to keep at least one in play. Another Breakout clone called MacBrickout has blocks randomly drop capsules. The majority of the capsules do useful things, such as increase the size of the paddle, allow the ball to stick to the paddle, or giving the player extra balls to juggle. A few, however, have negative effects, such as shrinking the paddle; the worst is the red "X" capsule which makes the paddle useless. And getting too many "paddle expand" capsules will actually cause half of the paddle to break off, so if you're close to the breaking point, even they prove to be Poison Mushrooms. This is common in Breakout-style games that use powerups. One variation, Alpha Bounce, includes the "P" items that do something different depending on which paddle you're using. In another Mac clone, Breakline, there are four types of ball, and passing over "+" and "-" squares will transform a ball into the next stronger or weaker type. Hollow spheres, the weakest type, can't damage blocks at all. Their main gameplay function is that certain blocks will emit hollow spheres, which you can control in addition to your main ball, aiming to guide them into collectors to receive in-game currency. Of course, if your main ball is "-"ed and then goes into a collector.... BeeBop II has a block that takes away your missiles, but has to be hit anyway along with all the other blocks. While summoning Eyes in Bricks Of Egypt 2 usually is very useful, the bonus summoning a random Eye can sometimes bring the black Poison Eye, whose tears will shrink the paddle. If the paddle is at it smallest, one life is lost.

On the one hand, this means you should take care not to hit certain blocks (and yes, some of them are Invisible Blocks) from underneath, because you'll need to jump on them when they don't have a lethal item sitting on them. On the other hand, some of the game's puzzles are solved by feeding these items to enemies.

Poison Mushroom / int_5586ce95	comment	Mario Party: The series has Ztars (also known as Shadow Stars in Mario Party 6 and Dark Stars in Mario Party 7) in some of the earlier games, which are either worthless (in Mario Party and 2) or reduce your number of stars (in 5, 6, 7, and DS). Bowser loves giving these out. Extra points if you actually paid for them. Actual Poison Mushrooms make appearances in the series. For example, in the first game, a player landing on a Mushroom Space loses a turn if they choose a Poisonous Mushroom. In other games, Poison Mushrooms (known as Cursed Mushrooms in 5, 6, and 7) reduce the maximum number of steps provided by the dice on the next roll from 10 to 3 or 5. Mario Party 2 has the Bowser Bomb, which is obtained only in item minigames and the northeast item shop in Bowser Land. It is used automatically after every player makes their move; upon activation, Baby Bowser transforms into Bowser, rolls three dice blocks, and traverses the board, stealing every coin from any player he runs into. Tellingly, when a player gets this item in a minigame, the announcer's Item Get! phrase is said with concern instead of excitement. Clever players might use this item to their advantage if their rivals are within Bowser's range while being a safe distance away. Mario Party 3 has both the classic Poison Mushroom (which retains the Mario Party property of reducing the maximum number of steps for one turn) and the Reverse Mushroom, a green mushroom with a red U-turn symbol drawn on it. With the latter item, a character can inflict a Reverse status on another, forcing them to move backwards in their next turn. Mario Party 5: The Cursed Mushroom Capsule is merely the encapsulated version of previous games' Cursed/Poison Mushrooms, having the effect of reducing the possible number of steps after hitting the dice block (this proves benefitial when the player wishes to land onto a nearby good space). Many of the new capsules are meant to be placed as traps in the board's spaces, so it'll be a bad idea if you use them onto your own character: Hammer Bro Capsule (a Hammer Bro. appears to extract 10 coins from the affected player), Blizzard Capsule (Mr. Blizzard lands onto the player and eliminates all stored capsules), Bubble Capsule (a Lava Bubble appears to hit the player onto their butt and make them move 10 steps forward while burning all stored capsules and bypassing the Star's space should they reach it along the way), Piranha Plant Capsule (the player is eaten by a Piranha Plant and spit back with only half their coins, minus one if the previous number was odd), and Bob-omb Capsule (a Bob-omb appears to explode near the player and make them 20 coins). Mario Party 9: Mini-Ztars appear at certain points on each board. The player who collects them will have Mini-Stars deducted from their score. Z-Bananas appear on DK's Jungle Ruins, and serve the same purpose. Super Mario Party: All numbers in Bob-omb's dice block are negative, so the number gotten from it will substract from the number obtained by the dice of the player's character.

(Civ V replaces these with ancient ruins, which don't carry the risk of barbarian attack; instead, one possible bonus from exploring them is revealing the locations of several nearby barbarian camps.) In the Civ V expansion Brave New World, Indonesia's unique unit is the Kris Swordsman, which gets a unique promotion at random after its first battle. While most of these promotions are very powerful, two of them, Enemy Blade and Evil Spirits, seriously diminish the unit's fighting power; the former causes it to take 20 damage if it ends the turn in enemy territory, while the latter gives it a 10% combat penalty when attacking and a 30% combat penalty when defending. The Ambition promotion is a double-edged sword, giving the unit a 50% combat bonus when attacking but a 20% combat penalty when defending.

Alchemy ingredients have four effects each, and mixing them will make a potion which includes any effects which any two of the ingredients share with each other. If the ingredients share both a positive and negative effect (say, they both cause Restore Stamina and they both cause Damage Health) the potion will do both those things, but only be named after the most prominent effect, potentially producing a "Potion of Stamina" whose Small Print reminds you that it also drains your health. Fortunately, such potions' value increases with each effect, even if they cancel each other out.

When you recover your inventory after being captured, there is a Transmitter slipped in that will instantly alert all enemies on every screen until you dispose of it. The snake that eats your rations in Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Metal Gear Solid: As a Call-Back to the first Metal Gear, when you recover your inventory after being tortured, it has a Time Bomb in it that you must discard before it explodes. Another bomb can be picked up while searching for the keycard in the drainage ditch. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater: The game has poisonous food items. These have one beneficial use: if The Fear is damaged enough, he will retreat from attacking you to find any Rations or Food around the battlefield, to heal himself. If you collect all of them and plant a Poisonous item, he will eat it without a second thought, further hurting his Stamina. Excellent for those trying to do Stamina-defeats on the bosses. One gag plays with this in a very literal way: whenever Snake captures wildlife or plants to eat, he can call Para-Medic of Mission Control to give him an overview of his catch, if and how it can be consumed or otherwise applied, and how good it tastes. Her reports are reliable 99% of the time, but the sole exception is with the "Ural Luminescent" mushroom — Para-Medic claims it's safe, but eating it will poison Snake. Call her back, and Snake will chew her out on giving him incorrect information, which she excuses as a misprint in her reference material. Snake Eater also has a tracking device get planted on you during the torture segment. Not removing it in the cure screen causes Ocelot Soldiers to show up while escaping along the riverside, but leads to a bonus scene.

Poison Mushroom / int_5b53043d	comment	Mario Party 2 has the Bowser Bomb, which is obtained only in item minigames and the northeast item shop in Bowser Land. It is used automatically after every player makes their move; upon activation, Baby Bowser transforms into Bowser, rolls three dice blocks, and traverses the board, stealing every coin from any player he runs into. Tellingly, when a player gets this item in a minigame, the announcer's Item Get! phrase is said with concern instead of excitement. Clever players might use this item to their advantage if their rivals are within Bowser's range while being a safe distance away.

Poison Mushroom / int_5b530440	comment	Mario Party 5: The Cursed Mushroom Capsule is merely the encapsulated version of previous games' Cursed/Poison Mushrooms, having the effect of reducing the possible number of steps after hitting the dice block (this proves benefitial when the player wishes to land onto a nearby good space). Many of the new capsules are meant to be placed as traps in the board's spaces, so it'll be a bad idea if you use them onto your own character: Hammer Bro Capsule (a Hammer Bro. appears to extract 10 coins from the affected player), Blizzard Capsule (Mr. Blizzard lands onto the player and eliminates all stored capsules), Bubble Capsule (a Lava Bubble appears to hit the player onto their butt and make them move 10 steps forward while burning all stored capsules and bypassing the Star's space should they reach it along the way), Piranha Plant Capsule (the player is eaten by a Piranha Plant and spit back with only half their coins, minus one if the previous number was odd), and Bob-omb Capsule (a Bob-omb appears to explode near the player and make them 20 coins).

Poison Mushroom / int_5d96b889	comment	Mario Kart: Fake Item Boxes in Mario Kart 64 through Mario Kart Wii do about the same thing as Poison Mushrooms, whereas the normal item boxes are rainbow-colored or bluish and have a "?" while a fake one will be red and have a "Â¿". Both blocks look exactly the same from a distance (the fake one changing when you get closer), but most players can avoid them by memorizing where real items boxes should appear. The boxes can also be detected, at least in the DS version, by checking the game map. The fake ones appear different than the regular ones. The Trope Namer itself appears in the original Super Mario Kart. It can be placed on the track by a CPU-controlled Princess Peach or Toad and shrinks any driver who touches it. Mario Kart Wii and the Arcade GP series play with this via the Thunder Cloud. When you get it, it automatically gets used. While it's active, your speed increases, and you can drive offroad with no penalty to speed. However, it eventually strikes you with lightning, shrinking you like a regular lightning bolt... unless you ram your kart into someone else's, forcing them to deal with it.

In this form, she can very easily spin out of control, and whatever form she was in before is lost. Similarly, there's the UFO Suit, which is slow and reverts back to small Marisa after a short time. While these powerups have their uses, they more often than not exist to make life difficult for the player. The World 7 boss, Nue Houjuu, throws powerups at the player. The only problem is, you fight her in mid-air in UFO form, and all other forms will make Marisa plummet to her death. It is entirely possible to catch a Super Mushroom and fall into the boss, killing her in one hit. Good luck actually pulling it off, though...

In this game, they do restore some vitality, but will temporarily make it deplete faster, making your character more vulnerable in battle. Another item fitting this trope is the aptly named Poison Mushroom. Normal mushrooms regenerate your Spring Harvest bar, which allows you to temporarily enter a Super Mode. Poison Mushrooms do regenerate this bar a little bit, but will temporarily halt any further regeneration of this stat. These items do have some use outside battle, as their debuffs only matter in combat, meaning you can freely use them for their regeneration.

Poison Mushroom / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons & Pathfinder: Several campaigns feature poison found in a treasure haul, in addition to your regular potions. Characters that drink it suffer anything from hit point damage to outright death if they fail their saving throw. Classic cursed items in D&D include weapons and armor that gave AC and to-hit-and-damage penalties instead of bonuses, such as a -1 sword or a suit of -2 armor. Naturally, once you equip them, you can't take them off or otherwise be rid of them until a mage or cleric can cast a Remove Curse, Dispel Evil or other such spell on you. Not to speak of the various other major cursed items you can run across. As D&D and Pathfinder allow much more player agency than video games, players naturally find ways to use those cursed items. For example, the Necklace of Strangulation appears to be a beneficial magical necklace, but when you put it on, it tries to strangle you to death and is very hard to stop. It would seem like a perfectly fiendish Poison Mushroom until players start offering it to their enemies as a bribe, pretending to be friendly to someone they need to defeat and offering it as a gift, or even compelling enemies to put it on. The "gift" type can be especially funny in Pathfinder as there is a spell, Beguiling Gift, that makes your poison mushroom irresistible to someone else, who has to use it. Even if they're in combat. The Deck of Many Things, a minor Artifact whose random effects have been known to derail or even crash entire campaigns. Effects go from awesomely beneficial (major boost to Diplomacy skill plus a small keep, tens of thousands of experience points, riches, a powerful magic item, Wish spells...) to potentially catastrophic (all your magic items disappear forever, loss of all wealth and property, having your body or soul imprisoned in an unknown location in The Multiverse, having an ally immediately become an enemy (and you won't necessarily know who), Character Alignment change, or having to face an incarnation of The Grim Reaper in a one-on-one duel, which irreversibly destroys you if you lose). And since players have a bad habit of Tempting Fate, it has a reputation as the ultimate Schmuck Bait.

The best thing you can do is sit motionlessly and hoping nobody hits you. There is also Bouncy Bouncy (your car jumps every few seconds), Jelly Suspension (your car wobbles and tips over), Jupiter Gravity (good luck getting uphill), and the second game has a ball and chain that attaches to your car and Ethereal Pedestrians (can't run over them, so you can't get extra time on your clock for 30 seconds - oops). There's also The Drugs, Miniature Pedestrians, Turbo Opponents, basic exploding powerups, Hot Rod (speed boost combined with 'wheelie' suspension, great for blasting into a wall at 600 kph), Greased Tires and the various powerups that crumple up your car or make it break in two. The second game lets you buy any car you wrecked in a race. This is a good thing unless you end up buying a bad car, wasting all of your money and being worse off. Hint: almost everything you can buy in the early game is worse than your starting car. This becomes a problem near the end, where you need something very heavy to kill your opponents (who at that point are driving enormous logging trucks and buses with rocket engines) but almost all of the heavy vehicles are either insanely slow, have terrible handling, get stuck under or between scenery all the time or all of the above. Then there are the racing missions which have the opposite problem: you need to figure out which cars have high speed and good handling.

Poes have a random effect when consumed. You may either have all your hearts refilled, only one heart refilled, one heart depleted, or your whole life meter depleted save for the last heart quarter. This also applies in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, but the scarcity of normal Poes (they only appear in a room in Stone Tower Temple when inverted; otherwise, it's actually easier to find and fight Big Poes or even the Poe Sisters) makes this trope's presence very uncommon on principle. The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords: There are Black Rupees (aka Rupoors), which upon collection make you drop your wallet's Rupees (allowing other players to steal them). The player will drop up to four red Rupees. This is actually helpful during Rupee Fever, which doubles the value of all Rupees when all Links are at full health. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Purple Chus, which leave behind Purple Chu Jelly when killed. Other types of Chu Jelly are very useful, either restoring a good amount of health or as a Lantern Oil substitute, so Purple Jelly should have a good effect too, right? Wrong, they have a random effect: while they can heal a random amount of Hearts, they can also hurt you, even taking you down to a quarter of a Heart. The Nasty Soup, which can be gotten where you get the Lantern, has the same effect. The main purposes of Purple Chus are to make you fight a Chu without getting anything good out of it, or to have them in the same area as useful Chus, forcing you to kill the useful ones and grab their jelly before the purple ones absorb them and take away their useful qualities. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass: The game features "Rupoors", which directly reduce the number of Rupees Link is currently carrying when found. A minor key version of the series' trademark Item Get! fanfare plays when a Rupoor was found, complete with Link holding the item above his head but looking none too pleased about it. One area in the game consists of a maze with Rupoors for walls, requiring Link to walk carefully to avoid them. And to make it more difficult, Keese are flying around the area — and half of your projectile weapons pick up Rupoors. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Rupoors make an appearance in the digging minigame. The look on Link's face (seen in the page image) when you pick one up is priceless.

Level 5 has a suspiciously flashing cocktail that does both those things... but also kills you instantly.

Poison Mushroom / int_791fca44	comment	In BioShock, you can eat and drink all sorts of food items lying around. Drinking alcohol restores HP at the cost of EVE, and if you drink too much, you get drunk and the screen blurs for a little while. Smoking does the inverse, taking off some health to restore EVE. Admittedly not the same type of poison mushroom as elsewhere, but given that you may need some EVE, players may intentionally harm themselves on one or the other to get a quick boost. The Gene Tonic "Booze Hound" does subvert this trope for alcohol, as it increases EVE instead of decreasing it when drinking, but it does not remove the drunk effect.

Poison Mushroom / int_803beb04	comment	Earthworm Jim 2 has a weapon known as the Bubble Gun, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: It shoots out soap bubbles. Obviously, it's not even remotely useful in trying to defeat enemies. What raises this above a mere Power-Up Letdown is that (at least in the Genesis version) there is no way to switch weapons, so you're stuck with the last weapon you pick up until it runs out of ammo. This is a minor annoyance in the first level, where you can just stop and use it up, but a death sentence in the last level, a foot race against Psy-Crow, where you need a useful weapon to clear away obstacles so you can beat him to the checkpoints, and using up the ammo wastes valuable time you don't have. Failing to do so results in him closing the gate behind him and triggering an inescapable Death Trap (if you're lucky - if you aren't, a glitch will prevent the Death Trap from firing, leaving you to sit in the now-sealed room until you give up and reset the system). And even in the versions where you can switch weapons, you'll usually get the bubble gun at the worst possible moment.

Poison Mushroom / int_8258e260	comment	Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels: The game marks the debut of the Trope Namer, the Poison Mushroom, which is a subtle Palette Swap of the iconic Super Mushroom. Picking one up is the same as touching an enemy. The SNES release of the game made the Poison Mushrooms a completely and totally unmistakable solid purple with a skull on the cap of the mushroom and gave them angry eyes. Subsequent remake on the Game Boy Color, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, retained the skull cap. The Lost Levels also has backwards warp zones. Not only does it take back Mario or Luigi to a previous world, but it also permanently prevents access to World 9 (since no warp zones are allowed for use at all if that world is to be unlocked). Super Mario Bros. 2: Starting from World 5, some grass patches contain Bob-ombs with a short fuse. These items are completely useless and serve no other purpose than to be a booby trap, damaging the character if they don't throw them away on time. Super Mario Bros. 3: While the original game doesn't feature Poison Mushrooms (nor any other item with adverse effects), the Advance version on the Game Boy Advance has a downloadable e-Reader level (Vegetable Volley) where some of the grass patches contain them. However, it is easy to avoid them. Super Mario World has a level where a swarm of mushrooms in bubbles are floating across the screen. They're not poisonous, but they will replace the worthwhile fire flower or feather in your reserve, and popping the bubbles messes with your momentum and drops you into the drink below. In many Super Mario World ROM Hacks a level gimmick might be the green orbs that complete the level scattered about. However they will be placed in areas where touching them will result in Mario falling off the screen. You either have to avoid them or use a item (P-switch) to block a gap to complete these levels. Super Mario 3D Land: The Poison Mushroom returns in the Special Worlds, but to make up for it being an easily-identifiable purple, it will home in on Mario, making you have to actively avoid picking it up if you free it from its ? box. Super Mario Maker: You can deliberately do this by sticking any enemy inside of an "?" block, and emerge out of the block when players hit it. They even make the sound effect of an item popping out when they do. Super Mario Maker 2: The night version of Ground levels turn 1-Up Mushrooms into Rotten Mushrooms, which are completely purple mushrooms with rotting skull-like caps. Unlike regular Poison Mushrooms, Rotten Mushrooms will chase after Mario, even going up one-block high ledges.

Poison Mushroom / int_865b5c19	comment	Runescape: In the early days, there was the classic scam of taking a Karambwan octopus (the ONLY fish in the game you can cook half-way), and having you cook it. You might think that it is completely cooked, but it isn't (it's cooked half-way, remember?). Eating it would damage you for 30-50 Hit Points, maximum 99, and poison you to the tune of 13 Hit Points every ten seconds. Needless to say, you would be screwed if you ate it, especially if you were in the middle of nowhere and didn't have an antipoison. Fortunately, the damage was dramatically reduced after an update, and it no longer poisons you, and you get a warning when you try to eat it. The Invention skill revolves around augmenting weaponry and armour and giving it special, randomly determined perks. While many are beneficial, some of them are harmful, with effects such as dramatically lowered damage against certain creatures or the inability to use protection prayers, among others.

It actually makes the wearer weak against all kinds of physical attacks (pierce, slash, blunt and projectile) and really weak against elemental magic, particularly fire as well as raising the chances of being inflicted with ailments. Note this armor is different from Earl Leonid's Dusk Robe that, while keeping the weakness against fire abilities, also grants total protection against ailments and fatal attacks as well as a Regen-esque buff that recovers HP every turn. This armor cannot be removed from the Earl.

Not only is the chocolate completely useless, even when compared to the other "tools", there is a hidden rule on the back of the instructions: "If you eat any of the chocolate you will be docked five points." Mel Giedroyc and Joe Lycett both eat some chocolate, and end up with -4 and 0 points respectively — Joe would have won if not for this poison mushroom. Discussed during series 15 in "Exit the caravan exactly 20 minutes after you entered the caravan", where you must do that after writing and saying 40 words, with each word being either the same length or shorter than the previous word. Hidden on the roof of the caravan was a broken clock which tricked Mae into relying entirely on it rather than trying to track time on their own, but then they learned the clock didn't work.

Unlike the normal badges, they don't require any badge points. They also have some recipe items that sometimes have adverse effects (such as negative status or damage). The Mystery (Box) in the first 2 games can have good effects, like healing Mario or damaging the enemies, but there are a few bad effects, like an actual Poison Mushroom or a rock that hurts Mario. In The Thousand Year Door, Mario can get three Poison Mushroom cards, which give him an array of nasty effects. Specifically, it cuts Mario's HP, his partner's HP, his FP, and his Star Power in half and prompts the entire audience to flee the battle so you can't recover Star Power easily either. It's best to avoid it all costs. Super Paper Mario has actual poison mushrooms that you can hold onto. They're mainly useful for recipes. The place of the classic poison mushrooms from Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is now taken by the zombie mushrooms, which spawn from ?-blocks like items, but quickly show their true undead face and chase Mario as enemies. TTYD and Super both have Trial Stew. In the former game, it takes all but 1 HP from Mario and his partner, and takes away all of his FP, but fill his Star Power and triples Star Power gain for a limited time. In the latter game, it still takes away all but 1 HP from the character, but gives you XP equal to the amount of health you lost multiplied by 100.

There is a small silver lining, however; you can share or transfer (depending on the game) the effects of the Skull item with another player by touching him or her. The Fire Down, Bomb Down and Speed Down items do exactly what their names imply, namely lowering a player's explosion range, bomb stock and speed, respectively. The last of those three is most commonly depicted as a geta. The Salt Bomb from Bomberman Hero was mostly useless, but at least were the only bombs that could defeat slug enemies. The item's reappearance in Power Bomberman however, falls somewhere between this and Joke Item, as it has no use besides lowering that player's explosion range to a single tile.

The Fizbin is at least as old as Might and Magic 3 (not the "Heroes of" strategy series, but the RPGs), where it doubles shop prices. It also eradicates you in the Slithercult Saloon if you have it in your inventory and try one of the slot machines. However, with it you can take a treasure hoard you can't otherwise.

Poison Mushroom / int_99e49e94	comment	Bug Fables: Cooking incompatible items will give a Mistake, which poisons whoever eats it. It has the "benefit" of giving 1 TP, but even the basic and cheap Honey Drop recovers more with no downside. Cooking a Mistake produces a Big Mistake, with poisons the consumer and reduces their health to one. Mystery Berries found in the endgame could either heal or damage the consumer for 8 HP. As a party member's HP is generally in the lower double digits, this is a large amount of health by the game's standards, making its use a major gamble.

A minor key version of the series' trademark Item Get! fanfare plays when a Rupoor was found, complete with Link holding the item above his head but looking none too pleased about it. One area in the game consists of a maze with Rupoors for walls, requiring Link to walk carefully to avoid them.

Poison Mushroom / int_9f89a5f0	comment	PokÃ©mon has several holdable items which do nothing but harm the user. However, they can actually be surprisingly useful if combined with the right strategy and Ability. The Flame Orb and Toxic Orb inflict burn and bad poison on the user, but they can be useful in combination with the Guts or Quick Feet Abilities, which require the user to suffer from a status ailment to take effect. Black Sludge hurts the holder each turn... unless it's a Poison-type, in which case it heals a little bit of HP each turn. The Iron Ball cuts the holder's Speed in half and if the holder is airborne it'll force the holder to the ground, but Gyro Ball (which becomes stronger if the user is slower) becomes more powerful and using Fling will deal a 130-base damage attack. The Ring Target removes immunities, the Sticky Barb damages holders but can transfer to those without items, and the Lagging Tail forces the holder to move last. The moves Trick and Switcheroo can be useful because it can transfer these items to those who really don't want them and hurt them.

However, after about ten or fifteen minutes the Spoiled Milk will turn into Yogurt, restoring the 80 HP-recovery ability. The game also gives you Eggs, which are okay healing items. Hop into a hot spring with an egg and it becomes a Fried Egg, which is even better. But if you don't, Eggs will eventually hatch into useless Chicks, which grow up into useless Chickens (though at least Chickens can be sold for more than Eggs are worth.) Played for Nightmare Fuel on Tanetane Island in Chapter 7. Upon arrival, a Save Frog alerts you that your party is in critical condition, and they are—everyone is down to 1 HP. Also, all of your items are gone. Only way to heal? Go a little bit into the island and eat some suspicious-looking mushrooms. The result? Your party is fully healed...but now you're hallucinating like nobody's business.

Among this good food is bad food, like moldy cheese and fish bones (and a few which look innocuous at first, like the lettuce, which turns out to be old). These cause you to LOSE energy. The game is also scattered with gift-wrapped presents — their contents are at first a mystery, but opening a present (or consulting a wise-man in a carrot suit) will identify all presents which have the same wrapping paper. The presents are mostly good, like weapons, "vehicles", food and money. Others are not so nice — instant death, bad food, a sleep spell, or the infamous Randomizer, which makes you start the identification process all over again.

There's an item that makes your bonus weapons permanent, and a skill that locks your bonus weapon to avert Power Up Letdown. The bonus killer on the other hand bypasses this- it turns your weapon back to the starting weapon, severely dampening your firepower.

Their first appearance was in the 2-Player mode in Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Particularly evil given that the monitors in 2-Player mode don't display an icon representing what's in them until you open themnote merely showing static or question marks, and that the number of items collected is included in each player's score. The only ways to know you're safe from them is to memorize where and what every item is, or turn on the "Teleport Only" option (so all monitors make Sonic and Tails switch places). Also, in Casino Night Zone, if you get three Eggmen/Robotnik on a slot machine, you lose all your 100 rings. Sonic 3 & Knuckles has the these first appear in Act 2 of the Hydrocity Zone, but they are easily missed. Later they appear in the Ice Cap zone, where they used the "obstacle" approach (and are frozen in a layer of breakable ice, building in a slight margin for safety). Hacking also reveals that Eggman Monitors existed in the coding for the first Sonic the Hedgehog. They aren't programmed to actually do anything if you hack one in and break it, but one can assume that they would have if they were actually implemented.

These have one beneficial use: if The Fear is damaged enough, he will retreat from attacking you to find any Rations or Food around the battlefield, to heal himself. If you collect all of them and plant a Poisonous item, he will eat it without a second thought, further hurting his Stamina. Excellent for those trying to do Stamina-defeats on the bosses. One gag plays with this in a very literal way: whenever Snake captures wildlife or plants to eat, he can call Para-Medic of Mission Control to give him an overview of his catch, if and how it can be consumed or otherwise applied, and how good it tastes. Her reports are reliable 99% of the time, but the sole exception is with the "Ural Luminescent" mushroom — Para-Medic claims it's safe, but eating it will poison Snake. Call her back, and Snake will chew her out on giving him incorrect information, which she excuses as a misprint in her reference material.

Poison Mushroom / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: In the 6th edition, there are mysterious objectives which can contain a shield, Anti-Air: They can also be booby trapped, thus damaging your troops. Worse, these objectives can cause damage multiple times. There also are mysterious forests, which usually have fairly helpful effects, but they can also contain a nest of psychic-eating killer bugs which attack absolutely every psychic model on the field. The Grey Knights, an army entirely composed of psychics, can reasonably count to lose half its troops just due to this one mishap. That's the reason why these things were removed in the next edition.

Poison Mushroom / int_beacd636	comment	Bomberman 64 and Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!! have "Bomb-Down," "Sandal," and "Fire-Down" items, which lower the amount of bombs you can place, your speed, and the blast radius of your bombs respectively. These also occur throughout the multiplayer modes of most Bomberman games. Bomberman 64 also features an "Evil" item, which activates a stage-wide effect potentially affecting all players. Some effects include a tornado, maxing out everyone's bomb count and explosion size, shuffling the positions of all players, and an "evil disco light" that saturates the screen with bright colours, making it hard to see the action. They become useful in one specific section of The Second Attack! which requires the player to cross the reactor core of a spaceship. Reducing the Blast Radius to zero is the only way to safely cross the otherwise lethal reactor fluid. At zero radius, ice bombs won't blowback on the player if they're careful.

Poison Mushroom / int_c08f5913	comment	In Forgotten Land, the Sleep ability is actually useful, as it heals Kirby, and the Noddy is usually in a safe location for Kirby to take a nap. However, one of the side rooms in Moonlight Canyon still weaponises a negative effect of this ability in a manner reminiscent of The Great Cave Offensive. It is a timed Waddle Dee segment with a bridge made of blocks that crumble when stepped on, and it is littered with Sleep Copy Essences and Noddies. Since Sleep causes Kirby to slow down drastically and eventually stop, thus falling into the abyss below, they must be avoided in order to rescue the Waddle Dee in time. This hazard is nullified if Sleep is upgraded to Deep Sleep, which doesn't slow Kirby down, and allows him to sleep at will instead of automatically. The blueprint for Deep Sleep is not found until a later level, however.

Smoking whittles away at your health, while the booze blurs your screen and sways your view for a time (though it can also heal you). While nothing forces the player to try either booze or cigarettes, the assumption that these droppable items must have some actual use may draw naive souls in. The Cigarettes can actually kill JC if he chain-smokes a truely heroic quantity of them; on the order of chain-smoking ten whole packs at once (because each time you smoke, you consume an entire pack, and each pack deals you 10 health damage to the torso). The Fantastic Drug Zyme also behaves like alcohol, but much stronger and without the healing effect. Booze is carried over into the prequel, Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

It should be noted that it's actually difficult to simply avoid them, as they last for 30 seconds and the zombies can pick them up as well.

Red crates in Duke Nukem II often contain health items. Sometimes they can contain a bomb instead, that will explode if shot, or after a short time if not, and send out a shockwave of fire. Unlike the first game, where bombs can only injure Duke, these ones will also destroy other crates, enemies, and the soda can health pickups. There's a way to find out if a crate contains a bomb: Duke will walk behind the crate as opposed to in front of a safe one. To a clueless player, they're a curse; to a savvy one, they're a deterrent to shooting wildly.

Poison Mushroom / int_ddd4b174	comment	Monopoly: Any Chance or Community Centre cards that force you to pay money into the bank. The worst one of them is the "Assessment" card which forces you to pay money depending on how many houses or hotels you have. Any Chance card that forces you to move to a space (other than Jail or Go). Especially if said space is owned by someone else. And there is a Hotel on it. The "Boardwalk" card can be an especially fatal One-Hit Kill. The Railway cards are even more annoying if someone owns all four. You have to pay double the rate, or $400, which is a large chunk of change. The Go To Jail cards play this straight early on, then are considered to be subverted later in the game (especially when houses and hotels come into play, as it delays the possibilities of you running into a fully developed property). Unless someone owns two of the three areas immediately after the Jail square (in which it is played straight again).

Every weapon drop once you've obtained the shield (cross) weapon, as if you beat the level without it you'll be forced to restart the level rather than progress.

Poison Mushroom / int_e22c949c	comment	A recurring trope in the Dragon Quest series. Some weapons and armor the later half of the game found in chests are cursed. They usually appear quite powerful, but in reality, they give you lousy stats and cannot be unequipped unless you remove the curse. You can guess the item is cursed by its appearance and the description warning you not to equip it. The Cursed Belt and the Death Necklace from Dragon Quest. Being cursed by these adversely affects your stats and prevents you from returning to Tantegel until you see a certain guy in the nearby town to remove the curse. However, as long as you don't equip them, they do fetch a good price when sold. Subverted in Dragon Quest VIII. The protagonist can equip cursed items due to his Dragonian linage (he is unaffected by curses except those of his own race).

Poison Mushroom / int_e37825ad	comment	Gauntlet: The games have poison and Death hiding in treasure chests identical to food and potion chests. It's impossible to tell which is which without opening them. Gauntlet II has poisoned cider and poisoned blue potions. Shooting either of them causes enemies to slow down. There's also "IT", which chases down a player and bonds to him or her, causing enemies to follow them. The IT effect persists throughout the level and can only be mitigated by tagging another player ("Tag, you're IT!"), which simply passes the effect to that player. The upgraded Gauntlet: Legends and its sequel, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy, avert this somewhat with the X-Ray Glasses power-up, which allow you to see what the chest contains; even without the Glasses, observant players will quickly notice that if a chest is shaking and jumping, it very likely contains Death. In any case, each chest location holds the same type of power-up every time, allowing the wise player to avoid opening harmful or useless chests on replay. Gauntlet: Dark Legacy has green apples (poison fruit that cost a player 50 health) and green drumsticks (poison meat costing 100 health). You can tell if food is poisoned if it's green, has two bones sticking out of it in an "X" and has a bite out of it. Good food (red apples and brown drumsticks) can become poisoned if it gets hit with what comes out of a green barrel (poison gas).

However, a couple of the more nostalgic characters have questionable effects. The Chocobo runs across the screen, randomly jumbling each digit in both your own and your enemy's brave meter, which often results in both players getting either a massive boost or a royal screw-over. The Moogle summon will randomly select an ability from any other summon in the game, which, coupled with poor timing, can result in the player getting hosed by a usually-beneficial effect (like Alexander's bravery-freeze when your brave is at or near 0). When Gilgamesh is called, he will either use Excalibur to triple your bravery, or Excalipoor to reduce your brave to 1. "I feel so betrayed..."

And then there are the items that will make Lone Wolf's adventure harder down the line (or outright kill him) if he picks them up. These items usually have very evil sounding names to warn the player that they're better off leaving them alone. The Glowing Crystal from The Caverns of Kalte, in fact a Doomstone. If Lone Wolf keeps it on his person for too long, its radiation will kill him. The golden bracelets worn by Ice Barbarians in the same book. They are Hypno Trinkets allowing Vonotar to control them, and if Lone Wolf don one it can lead to a Psychic-Assisted Suicide. The Black Crystal Cube from Shadow on the Sand. It's not until later in the book that you learn a) it attracts your enemies to your location, and b) it is going to explode in your hand if you don't throw it away fast enough. A similar one can be found in The Masters of Darkness, and if you keep it too long, it just kills you outright when exploding.

Poison Mushroom / int_ecd2d797	comment	Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate II: Half the unidentified items are actually cursed items. A bottle that looks like a Potion of Mirror Eyes (which protects against petrification) may instead turn you into stone. An obviously magical sword could put the character in a permanent Berserker state. Then there's the boots of double-speed, which are faster than speed boots, but cause fatigue and render the user unable to attack. However, the programmers unintentionally gave a way for savvy players to know what unidentified items are cursed (hint: even Bards with High Lore can't identify them on the spot). This is a continuation of the classical cursed items from Dungeons & Dragons such as the Boots of Dancing, or a Dagger of Lycanthrope Sympathy (instead of killing Werewolves well, it attracts them well). Classic cursed items in Dungeons & Dragons also include weapons and armor that give AC and to-hit-and-damage penalties instead of bonuses, such as a -1 sword or a suit of -2 armor. Naturally, once you equip them, you can't take them off or otherwise be rid of them until a mage or cleric can cast a Remove Curse spell on you. The Vampire's Revenge sword from the first game is an especially nasty example. Not only is it cursed, it also does the exact opposite of what a sword is supposed to do. It drains its wielder's health and heals its target. Just to add insult to injury, getting the sword is a case of Guide Dang It! which involves fighting a Doomguard, one of the most powerful non-boss enemies in the game, going through one of the most annoying dungeons in the game which is chock-full of respawning Kobold Commandoes packing fire arrows, and forgoing a valuable reward of 1500 exp. Pouring salt into the wound, the sword's flavor text mocks you for going through all of that trouble to get a piece of cursed junk like this. The Girdle of Gender Change. The in-game effects of this are minimal. The murky potions. They have the same names as their good counterparts but they differ in color and are always described as "murky" or simply "off". These never work as advertised and inflict the player with debuffs if drank.

Their effects are mapped to specific potions differently for each person and each ascension, so they're risky until you've got them mapped out - especially if you hit the one that increases drunkenness while you're one point away from your limit (which makes you unable to continue adventuring) and have more than the rollover cap worth of adventures left. "Goofballs". It enhances your skills for a 10 turns, after which it penalizes your character by weakening him for the next 30 turns ("goofball withdrawal"). How do you cut the penalty short? Take more goofballs. And the price of the goofballs? First one's free. Subsequent ones ramp up in price by 1000 meat each time. And subsequent consumption also causes lost of stat to boot. The moral? Drugs Are Bad. Food and booze of particularly low quality may reduce your stats upon consumption. Some may also harm you, and a few will actually poison you.

Poison Mushroom / int_f367511c	comment	Yu-Gi-Oh!: "Parasite Paracide," which gets inserted into the opponent's deck, face-up. When they draw it, they take damage. Lava Golem and Volcanic Queen as well. Both of them have high ATK and are played on your opponents field rather than yours, but inflict 1000 damage to the controller on their standby and end phase, respectively. They do have a plus-side for your opponent, though. Despite the negative effects, they are still 3000 ATK and 2500 ATK monsters respectively. There also exists a monster called Ameba that causes 2000 points of damage if you use another card such as Creature Swap to give control of it to your opponent. There also is an equip card called Vengeful Servant that gives any monster equipped with it a similar effect. Even better is Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction, which has 3000 attack and is extremely easy to summon at the cost of only being able to attack for a few turns, making you take 2000 damage per turn after that, and making you unable to special summon, so a good way to use it is to give control of it to the opponent with another card after the turns it can attack run out, making it play a similar role as Lava Golem, but worse. Lava Golem's main advantage over this is that you sacrifice your opponent's monsters to summon it instead of your own. Ojama Trio and Nightmare Archfiends both give token monsters to you opponent that damage them when they are destroyed, and they can also block your opponent from summoning monsters by filling up all their monster zones. The Duston playstyle revolves around using "House Duston" to Special Summon members of the archetype to either side of the field, ideally Special Summoning ones with negative effects to your opponent's side of the field and ones with positive effects to your side of the field. This reflects how dust can spread in real life. Another strategy that uses this trope centers around the cards Nurse Reficule the Fallen One and Bad Reaction to Simochi. When either of these two cards are on your side of the field, any effect that would otherwise heal the opponent's life points will damage them instead, so you can pack your deck with cards that heal your opponent and use them to rapidly burn your opponent's life points. Some cards are explicitly designed in such a way that you have to either use them in a combo or they end up as this. Burning Algae is a card that gives your opponent a small lifepoint boost when it dies. This is on top of its craptacular stats. The most obvious use of this card is to combine it with Bad Reaction to Simochi above or use it in conjunction with another card that requires you to have lower life points, such as Megamorph, but on its own, it's a Poison Mushroom through and through.

If a song sends you unusual-looking notes alongside regular ones, chances are these are bad for you. Just to set things straight, they tend to look either Obviously Evil or are themed after your opponent to send the feel you are being showered with Schmuck Bait, or both, given this tactic is predominantly used by evil characters anyway. Interestingly, such mechanics are not new to the genre, appearing in other games like Taiko no Tatsujin's story modes in the form of bombs, to the point where the rhythm game community has given them the collective name of 'mines'. The Tricky Mod spices up the song Hellclown with burning notes that deal hefty damage, and Expurgation has a fair share of red-haloed black notes for a Non-Standard Game Over. Vs. Ace chills his songs with icy notes, freezing your controls for a while. These are initially rare, but become more frequent as the game goes on and the weather grows colder. However, as an Anti-Frustration Feature and being the Nice Guy he is, Ace will offer to disable them should this pose a problem to you. Vs. RetroSpecter is generous with poisoned green blade notes after the titular antagonist goes One-Winged Angel. Predictably, these deal Damage Over Time.

Poison Mushroom / int_fe85bfc8	comment	Super Smash Bros.: Super Mushrooms make your character grow, while Poison Mushrooms make you shrink. The latter can be identified from the former by a slightly darker color and a slightly meaner expression, with the outer corners of the Poison Mushroom's eyes turned upward rather than downward. However, this difference may not be obvious when the camera is zoomed out enough. The Hammer present in all games and the Golden Hammer in Brawl and SSB4 both have a chance of being defective and completely harmless, which is a bit problematic when you can't voluntarily get rid of them. It's especially bad in the case of the former, as the head of the hammer falls off, after which it can be used as an extremely powerful throwing weapon, with the most likely target being the defenseless wielder of the broken hammer (now a useless stick). The Golden Hammer doesn't have such complications, but you can probably buy one in real life: The Golden Squeaky Hammer. The Lightning Bolt item in Brawl shrinks opponents to make them easier to knock out. Then it has the ability to shrink you and not the others. Or it may make them all grow giant instead, leaving you in the midst of massive enemies. The Stopwatch in Brawl lets your opponents move slowly so you can hit them easier. But there's a chance that all players can be slowed...or just you be slowed. The Fake Smash Ball in Ultimate looks and moves like a regular Smash Ball, but breaking it open will not bestow you with your Final Smash. Instead, it explodes and sends you and anyone unlucky enough to be close by flying. Like the Poison Mushroom, it can be identified by its distinct markings. note The Fake Smash Ball's vertical line is thinner than its horizontal line, as opposed to the real Smash Ball's thick vertical line and thin horizontal line.
