Learn More About The Mario Mushroom Drawing

In the Super Mario video games, mushrooms are used to heal the character's heart points or give him special abilities. The mushroom is "one of the most iconic items in video game history."

You can learn how to draw a Mario mushroom with this super-easy cartoon drawing guide.

What are some of these abilities? The most common allows Mario to become Super Mario. In this form, he is larger, can break through bricks, and can withstand additional hits from his enemies.

Other mushrooms allow Mario to float or fly, jump higher, move faster, or gain an extra life.

Look out for the Poison Mushroom, however! Its effects hurt the player, taking away abilities or even costing him a life.

The appearance of the Mario mushroom is based on a real mushroom called a toadstool, specifically the variety known as fly agaric. It too has a red cap with white spots. Toadstools are poisonous and cannot be eaten.

The idea for the magic or super mushrooms may have come from the classic story Alice in Wonderland. The title character eats a cake that changes her size.

You need those mushroom power-ups to save Princess Peach from the villainous Bowser! Grab your pencil, because it's time to go on an adventure in the Mushroom Kingdom!
