How to Find a White Mushroom House

Super Mario Bros. 3's Secret White Mushroom Houses

Unlike a standard mushroom house that appears on the map, a white mushroom house only appears after you meet a specific, hidden condition within certain levels. The trick is to collect a precise number of coins within a particular stage. For example, in World 1-4, you must collect 44 coins, while in World 2-2, you must collect 30. There is at least one designated level per world that holds this secret. Once you have met the coin requirement and complete the stage, the white mushroom house will appear on the map, allowing you to enter and claim your rare reward.

The Rewards

Inside these houses, you can find one of two extremely helpful items that can change the way you approach the game.

P-Wing

The P-Wing is a coveted item that provides Mario with a full power meter for an entire stage. This gives you unlimited flight, allowing you to soar over obstacles and bypass difficult sections of a level. Unlike the Super Leaf, which requires a running start to take flight, the P-Wing offers constant flight, making it one of the most powerful items in the game.

Anchor

The Anchor is a particularly useful item designed for high-stakes moments. It keeps a boss’s airship stationary on the map. This is especially helpful if you die during an airship level, as it prevents the ship from moving around on the map. Without the anchor, dying in an airship level would force you to re-navigate the world map to find its new location, making this item a valuable tool for anyone struggling with a boss.
