Stretch Shrooms[1] are a type of Mushroom Platform in the Super Mario series. Their characteristic behavior is contracting and expanding at constant intervals, pulling anything and anyone on the ends of the platforms to the center when they contract. Stretch Shrooms have little differences between their appearances aside from some design changes.

History[edit]

New Super Mario Bros.[edit]

Stretch Shrooms first appear in New Super Mario Bros., where they are blue. They are encountered in World 5-A only.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Stretch Shrooms return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, behaving the same as in New Super Mario Bros., though they are now colored pink. They appear only in World 4-5.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Stretch Shrooms reappear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, behaving identically to previous games. They appear in World 6-3 and the third level of the Gold Mushroom Pack.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Stretch Shrooms appear yet again in New Super Mario Bros. U and its reissue. Their behavior is largely unchanged from their past appearances. They are encountered in the levels Dry Desert Mushrooms, Seesaw Shrooms, and World Coin-3, reprising the second aforementioned role in the challenge Rickety Sprint. Stretch Shrooms are among the very few objects that do not return in New Super Luigi U.
