Editing Leaf pile

[[File:MKT leaf pile.jpg|thumb|Leaf piles in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
'''Leaf piles''' are a game mechanic commonly found in autumn-themed stages within the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchises. Their most common role is to release an item when interacted with in a certain way.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', leaf piles are scattered on the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]]'s starting planet. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] [[spin]] on a leaf pile, it gives three [[Star Bit]]s or a single [[coin]].

===''Mario Kart'' series===
Leaf piles appear in the ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' course [[Maple Treeway]], and its remakes in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and also in the autumn variation of the ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' course [[Animal Crossing]]. They act similarly to [[crate]]s, disappearing when hit by an item or racer and dispensing [[Banana]]s, [[coin]]s, [[Mushroom]]s and, occasionally, [[Super Star]]s. They reappear after a short amount of time, and remain in their usual locations during time trials, although they do not dispense any items. Unlike crates, leaf piles do not slow racers down when they hit them. 

===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===
Large leaf piles appear in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' level [[Horn Top Hop]].<ref>"''When you reach point 8, perform a Roll Attack to scatter the pile of leaves.''" — ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Walkthrough section "Stage 2-3: Horn Top Hop (Island 2: Autumn Heights)".</ref> The [[Kong]]s can stand and walk on top of them as on ground, but [[Roll Attack|rolling]] into one causes it to scatter, which most commonly releases an item such as a [[banana]] or a [[Banana Coin]]. One pile in particular has a horn buried in it that releases a [[Pointy Tucks]] and a [[Puzzle Piece (Donkey Kong Country series)|Puzzle Piece]] in an alternative fashion.
