- “
説明 しよう！どぐされキノコとは傷 がなおるかわりに頭 の中 がカラッポになり悪者 のいいなりになってしまうおそろしいものだ！※ゲームにはないよ！(Let me explain! The Dogusare Kinoko is a terrifying thing that will heal your wounds, but will empty your mind and make you obedient to the bad guys! *It's not in the game!)” - —Description, Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 3
The Dogusare Kinoko is a rotten mushroom that, apparently, grows in the Valley of Bowser, and appears in Super Mario Bros. 4: Super Mario World 3. It looks like a moldy, crooked, and dried mushroom.
After stopping Luigi with Magikoopa's magic, Larry picks a Dogusare Kinoko and gives it to Luigi. Doing so, Luigi is healed, but his mind is corrupted and easily influenced by the two Koopas. Thanks to this, Luigi is put against Mario, convinced that he never cared for him and wants him to be in his shadow. Mario tries multiple time to snap him back to reality, but Magikoopa manages to keep him in line, until he is convinced by Mario's honest action and by the memories of Peach. When Magikoopa tries to stop him, Luigi claims that his heart cannot be corrupet like they did with his body, and he grabs Magikoopa and jump in the lava with him. Fortunately, Luigi is revealed to have survived.
