'''Mega Mario''' is a form that [[Mario]] and some other characters can take by eating a [[Mega Mushroom]] or simply [[Super Mushroom]]s in many games. This form allows the players to grow, allowing them to defeat every enemy in his path and break almost anything (including [[Goal Pole|Flagpole]]s).

 

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', any character can become Mega by acquiring a Super Mushroom. When a player is Mega, his or her attack power increases by a fair bit and launch resistance increases. However, it makes the character easier to hit and pelt them with attacks. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the final event match pits the player against Mega Mario, [[Solid Snake|Snake]], and [[Sonic the Hedgehog|Sonic]]. Both games also offer an option to play as Mega for an entire match. Mario's taunt causes him to grow to Mega-size briefly.

 

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Mario or his partners can become huge by using a [[Power Punch]]. This increases their attack power briefly for a few turns. During a few [[Bowser]] intermissions, if he eats enough [[Meat]], it has the same effect as a [[Mega Mushroom]] and makes him huge, invincible, and destructive for a brief time. [[Princess Peach]] can also swallow a potion that makes her momentarily giant, although no other effects are seen.

 

====''Super Paper Mario''====

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', when [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], or [[Bowser]]) grabs a [[Mega Star]], he will turn 8-bit, much like his sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and grows to giant proportions as well. As Mega Mario, Mario will be able to break blocks, enemies and anything in his path, much like the Mega Mario form from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. Mega Mario and Luigi are shorter and faster, while Peach and Bowser are taller but slower. In Chapter 3-1, there is a specific Koopa Troopa that collects a Mega Star, causing it to become massive; it is known as the [[Mega Koopa]]. According to [[the InterNed]], the music plays while one of the characters is in Mega form (including the [[Mega Koopa]]) is titled "An Unrivaled Battle".

 

 

===''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''===

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', one of [[Broque Monsieur]]'s attacks during his battle with Bowser involves hitting a block and obtaining a Mega Mushroom. While mega, he attempts to ram Bowser, but this attack can be countered by punching him.
