ABakudan Kinoko is a special type ofmushroom in the manga adaptation of the 1993Super Mario Bros. film,Super Mario: Makai Teikoku no Megami. It is capable of exploding in a large blast upon contact after being thrown, though in two instances it explodes inKoopa's hand without being thrown. The Bakudan Kinoko fulfills the role of the film'sBob-omb, not present in the manga.
Mario is first introduced to it after arriving inKoopa Kingdom withLuigi and asking one of the city residents about the fungus growing throughout the city. The city resident warns Mario that the mushrooms growing on the fungus (which he mentions is believed to be caused bythe King) can explode. Mario laughs at this and tosses the Bakudan Kinoko aside in disbelief, which to his surprise, explodes and sends him flying. Koopa arrives to where Mario is at, withDaisy and his army ofGoombas. Koopa demands themeteorite piece, and Mario fools Koopa into believing a string in his hand is the meteorite. Mario hands off the string and Koopa finds out it is a Bakudan Kinoko which explodes and leaves behind fungus residue. A disgusted Koopa demands his Goombas to clean him up.
Mario is about to throw Koopa another Bakudan Kinoko but the two parallel dimensions merge, placing Koopa and Mario onEarth. Upon Mario throwing the Bakudan Kinoko, Koopa catches it and reveals it has no magical detonating powers on Earth and it is simply an ordinary mushroom. The dimensions split again, and the mushroom in Koopa's hand explodes and amputates his arm. Koopa revealshis species has regenerating powers as he begins growing back his arm. Mario continues pelting him, blasting his other arm off carrying theDevo Gun, and Koopa mocks him stating he should be aiming for his head. Mario reveals his aim was intentional, confiscating the dropped Devo Gun from Koopa and blasting him tode-evolve him to primordial slime.
