It will be impossible for you to see the green Mushroom from Super Mario in the same way when you discover its origin. At least, according to this manga.
Which is the Origin of the Green Mushroom from Super Mario and why does he always give a life to the plumber when he catches it? We have all asked ourselves that question at some time, but very few have dared to give it a clear answer. Nintendo is not completely wet about it, but there was a Super Mario 64 manga that he wanted to give an explanation, although it was most sinister.
Specifically, it was the manga Super Mario 64 4Koma Gag Battle. In one of her cartoons, she revealed how Mushroom 1-Up works: born from mario’s corpse when you die in a level. According to him, every time Mario dies, his body turns into this mushroom so that, in another life, he can get one more help and thus maintain the cycle of life and death.

It is worth mentioning that this manga, although it had the license to use Super Mario and other Nintendo elements, does not offer a canonical or official story about the games. Although this murky explanation would give a rather sinister and curious twist to the Mushroom KingdomIt doesn’t really work like that.
And how do you do it then? Nintendo has never finished making it clear, so there’s no really official explanation as such. So do we opt for the manga version? What do you prefer?
