Mushroom Must Go Up! gameplay guide and player questions
Steam edition · Researched Nov 9, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 9, 2026.
Our guidance
How do I control my mushroom's movement during the climb?
Movement is entirely controlled using your mouse. You guide the mushroom to a surface, where it will bounce automatically. You must then choose your next landing spot and adjust your position while in midair to keep climbing.
Missing a landing can be costly, as there are no checkpoints in the game. If you fall, you will lose your hard-earned height, but you can find your footing wherever you land and begin climbing again.
Can I take a break during my climb without losing progress?
Yes, you can quit the game and return later. Your current position is automatically saved, allowing you to continue your attempt from where you left off whenever you are ready to resume your climb.
Are there any accessibility or visual aids available for the climb?
Yes, the game includes optional landing and mouse-target guides to assist with your precision. Additionally, there are reduced-motion settings available to customize your experience, and the interface supports 31 different languages for players worldwide.
How high is the total course and how many themes are included?
The game features a challenging 3,520-metre course. As you gain altitude, you will progress through 22 distinct themes, ranging from a rusty factory and a toybox to a giant’s table high above the ground.
Is it better to aim for nearby platforms or higher ones?
The choice is yours. You can play it safe by aiming for a nearby landing to ensure you stay on track, or you can choose to aim a little higher to progress faster, though this increases the risk of missing.
