Welcome back archers! Looking to unlock the mystery mushroom in super mario maker? I’ve got you covered.

1. What is a mystery mushroom?
Mystery Mushrooms allow you to change Mario into other characters using costumes that you have unlocked.

2. How do I unlock the mystery mushroom?
To unlock the mystery mushroom to use in course maker, you have to unlock at least one mystery mushroom costume. There are two ways to do this:
a. Amiibo - When in the course maker mode, tap an amiibo against the gamepad. This will unlock that character’s costume as well as the mystery mushroom.
b. 100 mario challenge - The other option is to play the 100 mario challenge mode. You can play it on any setting, but I recommend easy mode as there are only 8 courses to complete. You are also able to skip any levels you do not like by holding the minus button. Once you finish all 8 courses you will be awarded with a new costume (with some fun non-amiibo ones) as well as the mystery mushroom.

3. How do I use the mystery mushroom?
Go to Course Maker and select the 8-bit super mario brothers theme (it has to be this theme to work). Go into the second toolbar and it should be the first item. Drop a mystery mushroom item, then tap it to select what costume you want to put inside it (or do not select to make it random)
You can either put the mushroom into a ? block or just leave it out in the open to transform the player in your level.
