| Status: | Disbanded |
The Mushroom Force is a resistance group consisting of heroes, led by Mario. The group was formed to prevent the Legion of Villains and the Bay of Darkness from taking over the Real World. Later, in "The Business Man and The Ape," they formed an alliance with the Bay of Darkness. Prior to the war, Ganondorf caught Link off guard, sealed him in the Dark Realm, and then killed Merlin.
Wario and Mona were once members of the Mushroom Force, but after Mona broke up with Wario and left, he seceded as well. When a ninja told him the current status of the team, Wario decided to rejoin them to help win the war. Then Mona rejoined during the final battle to save Wario. Later, Link sacrificed himself along with Merlin and the Darkness by transferring themselves into Mario, thus killing all three in the process. With the Legion of Villains defeated and the Real World safe at last, the Mushroom Force disbanded so all of its members could live normal lives again.
Background
The Darkness kills Blaire Vherestorm when he tries to go against orders and kill Mario himself. The Darkness then reveals to Mario that Ganon has formed an army to take over the Real World, and then goes off to form an army of his own to counter said army. He allows Mario to form his own army and defeat the Legion of Villains himself.
Purpose
After Ganon and the Darkness announced their intentions to rule the Real World their own armies, Mario formed his own with Luigi and the other heroes to battle and defeat them.
