|applies_to=[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]], [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]], [[Toadette]], [[Mii]]

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.

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.

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.

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.
