'''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 above ground or long chasms, and can also temporarily cling to vertical surfaces that are safe to touch.


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 three 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.

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.
This form is based on [[wikipedia:Flying squirrel|flying squirrels]], real life mammals that are capable of gliding between trees. [[Waddlewing]]s, creatures that debuted in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' just like the Flying Squirrel form, are inspired from these animals too.

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.

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 Orbs]] 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.
