A '''P-Acorn''' is a item in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It transforms its user into [[P Flying Squirrel Mario]] with the ability to midair jump indefinitely for the entire stage, similar to the [[P-Wing]] and [[Cape Feather]] from previous games. Its appearance is similar to the [[Super Acorn]], but the top is pale white and gray-striped, with a large, red "P" imprinted on it. In [[Mario]]'s case, his hat and shirt become pale gray; his hat has a large, red "P" instead of his "M" emblem; and he also appears to have a sheen around him. The P-Acorn's power will perish if the player dies, takes damage, grabs a non-Acorn power-up, or completes a level without losing the power-up (the latter of which causing the player to change back to the regular [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]]). However, the player will not lose the power-up if the course is completed via capturing [[Nabbit]].

To obtain a P-Acorn, the player must either capture Nabbit and return his sack to a [[Toad (species)|Toad]], or after defeating [[Bowser]], if the player saves their profile then opens it again, a P-Acorn will appear instead of a Super Acorn (it also seems to appear at other times). A P-Acorn can appear sometimes on the main map in the place of a Super Acorn. Another way to obtain a P-Acorn, with a very slim chance of doing so, is that sometimes, in the middle of [[Tilted Tunnel]] and [[Crushing Cogs Tower]] on the world map, it is either this power-up or the [[Super Acorn]] (which is more common) that appears.

It should also be noted that the player would have not been able to make a [[Miiverse]] post if a level was completed with this power-up, even if the level was cleared without taking any damage. This would have been the same if the level was completed while playing as [[Nabbit]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

The sound effect heard when flying through the air in this form is the same one heard when flying as [[Raccoon Mario]].

==Trivia==
* In certain levels that go underground by a pipe such as [[Perilous Pokey Cave]], at the beginning of the level, if one flies high enough using this power up, one can take a shortcut over the wall and make it to the flagpole without entering the actual level.
