| '''Flying Squirrel Mario''' is a form introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. When he grabs a [[Super Acorn]], [[Mario]] can lightly glide above ground or long chasms, and can also temporarily cling to vertical surfaces that are safe to touch. | | '''Flying Squirrel Mario'''<ref>[http://e3.nintendo.com/games/#/wiiu/new-super-mario-bros-u E3 page for ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']</ref> is a form introduced in the [[Wii U]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. When he grabs a [[Super Acorn]], [[Mario]] can lightly glide in a similar way to [[Cape Mario]] and [[Raccoon Mario]] and temporarily cling to walls, [[block]]s and [[pipe]]s. The heroes are also able to use a flying squirrel jump while gliding, which makes Mario soar up into the air. This accomplished by shaking the Wii U GamePad, or by pressing {{button|wii|ZL}} or {{button|wii|ZR}}. |

| While Mario is in his Flying Squirrel form, he gets red puffy overalls, a dark gray shirt and shoes, and a big red cap with two squirrel ears on it and a beige brim. On his back, he has a pair of gray membranes and a tail. This appearance seems to be based off of [[Raccoon Mario]]. Flying Squirrel Luigi has these changes, too, but wears a green cap and overalls. The Flying Squirrel [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s have a cap colored according to their emblem color, with two bright stripes and squirrel ears. They also get a red handkerchief around their neck, gloves, squirrel-like fur, yellow or blue pants, grayish shoes, flying membranes, and a tail. Toads lose their vests becoming Flying Squirrel Toads. Flying Squirrel Toadette has the same form as the Flying Squirrel Toads, but has pigtails and wears pink pants. | | While Mario is Flying Squirrel Mario, he gets red puffy overalls, a grayish shirt and shoes, and a big red cap with two squirrel ears on it and a beige brim.

| Like [[Waddlewing]]s, common enemies found in the game, this form is based on {{wp|flying squirrel}}s, real life mammals that are capable of gliding between trees.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| |
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| |
| The Flying Squirrel form, along with the [[Super Acorn]], makes its initial appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. While using the power-up, the player can glide by holding down the jump button. While gliding, they can also propel themselves upwards with a '''Flying Squirrel Jump''', giving them additional height for a few seconds before they start to descend; unlike with the [[Cape Mario|Caped form]], they can only do so once before landing. Turning around while gliding will causes the player to descend significantly They can also stick to walls, [[block]]s, and [[Warp Pipe]]s, but after sticking to a wall, they start sliding downwards after a few seconds. The Flying Squirrel form also allows the player to [[Spin Jump]] higher than normal. | |
| | |
| A rarer variant of the Flying Squirrel form, the [[P Flying Squirrel Mario|P Flying Squirrel form]], is available in both games. It can be acquired from touching a [[P-Acorn]]. It physically glitters and allows gliding even after propelling upwards. The P-Acorn can only be acquired by catching [[Nabbit]] or finding one on the map.
| |
| | |
| The Flying Squirrel form returns in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', although [[Nabbit]], as with every other power-up, cannot use it.
| |
| | |
| In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', Toadette can gain the Flying Squirrel form.
| |
| | |
| ====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', after the [[Super Mario Maker#Version 1.20|version 1.20]] update, and at the start in ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', if the player repeatedly taps / knocks a [[Warp Door]] in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style, [[Weird Mario]] may appear in the Flying Squirrel form.
| |
| | |
| The form was added to ''Super Mario Maker 2'' in the World Maker update released on April 22, 2020.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
| |
| In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], there are a few collectible items of the Flying Squirrel form. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', Mario in his Flying Squirrel form is depicted as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which, like many other trophies, can be obtained randomly. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad]]'s Flying Squirrel form appears as an Advanced-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. When used, it increases the fighter's upward and downward launch power. In the spirit's battle, the player faces a Tail [[Mii#Super Smash Bros. series|Mii Swordfighter]] wearing a [[Super Mushroom]] hat and a Monkey Suit on the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage.
| |

| ===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
| |
| [[File:PDSMBE-FlyingSquirrelMario.png|thumb|Flying Squirrel Mario in ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'']]
| |
| Flying Squirrel Mario and Luigi appear as leader characters in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. Flying Squirrel Mario is a [[Super Leaf|Wood]] / [[Fire Flower|Fire]] attribute member. He has a high heart point rating at 5 out of 6, and his recover rating is 4 out of 6. However, his attack power is moderate, at 3 out of 6. Every ten turns, Flying Squirrel Mario can use the "Air Glide" skill, which changes all [[Super Star|Light Orb]]s on-screen into Wood Orbs. Likewise, he has a leader skill called "Acorn Power" that doubles the attack and recover ratings of any Wood-attributed team mate.
| |
| | |
| Flying Squirrel Luigi, although he shares some of his traits with his brother, displays several differences. Both of his attributes are Wood and has a 4 out of 6 rating for both his HP and recovering power, as well as a 5 out of 6 rating for his attack performance. His Leader skill is called "Acorn Miracle", which doubles the attack and HP ratings of all Wood-type team mates. Lastly, Flying Squirrel Luigi's main skill is "Air Smash", which functions just like his brother's main skill.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario Sports Superstars''===
| |
| Toads in the Flying Squirrel form are selectable teammates in ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', in both yellow and blue varieties. They are classified as speed characters. Both colors are available in baseball, while only Yellow Flying Squirrel Toads can be chosen in soccer.
