The '''P-Wing''' is a special [[List of items|item]] that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The "P" stands for "[[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]" or "Patapata" (the Japanese name for that enemy). It functions similarly to the earlier power-up from ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'' simply known as the [[Wing (Super Mario Bros. Special)|Wing]]. There is a similar item in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' called the [[P-Acorn]] which gives the user infinite gliding.
The '''P-Wing''' is a special item which first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The "P" stands for [[Paratroopa]] or Patapata (the Japanese name for that enemy). Unused data in [[Super_Mario_Bros. 3#Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Super Mario Advance 4]] shows that the P-Wing could have been in a [[Question Block]] like other power-ups such as the [[Super Leaf]] and [[Fire Flower]].

====''Super Mario Bros. Special''====
A predecessor to the P-Wing can be found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. When Mario collects it, a normal level would gain the properties of an underwater level, allowing Mario to "swim" through the air. However, the power up was only temporary, and if Mario wasn't careful, he'd end up falling somewhere undesirable.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the P-Wing allows [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to fly in the air with their [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]]s for an unlimited amount of time. However, if the brothers are hit while flying, or receive a non-flying-based power-up within a level, they will lose the power of the P-Wing. Additionally, the effects of the P-Wing only last until the level ends. After that, the brothers are left with their basic [[Super Leaf]] abilities.

However, if the brothers are hit or receive a non-flight-based power-up within a level, they will lose the power of the P-Wing. Infinite [[Extra life|1-Up]] tricks involving [[stomp]]ing do not work in this form.
If a P-Wing is used from the map screen, the letter "P" on Mario or Luigi's body (as shown in the sprite on the left) indicates that they have P-Wing abilities. The letter "P" isn't seen in the actual level or on the map screen after the level is completed.


If a P-Wing is used from the map screen, the "P" on Mario or Luigi's body (as shown in the sprite on the left) indicates that they have P-Wing abilities. The "P" is not seen in the actual level and it is not seen again on the map screen once the level is completed which indicates Mario or Luigi has reverted to their normal abilities.
The P-Wing can be combined with the [[Tanooki Suit]]. However, in order to do this, one must use a P-Wing upon entering a level that has a Tanooki Suit hidden within it ([[Big Island#World 4-5|4-5]], [[The Sky#World 5-5|5-5]], [[Iced Land#World 6-3|6-3]], or [[Pipe Maze#7-fortress|7-F]]) and collect that Tanooki Suit.

However, in order to do this, one must use a P-Wing, then enter a level that has a Tanooki Suit hidden within it ([[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-5]], [[World 5-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-5]], [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 6-3]], or {{world-link|7|fortress|World 7-Fortress 1}}) and collect that Tanooki Suit without losing the P-Wing's power.
P-Wings are commonly found in chests left behind after defeating certain [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] on the map screen. They can also be found in secret white [[Toad House]]s (blue in the game's remakes) accessible via collecting a certain amount of coins in a certain level of a world. However, P-Wings can only be found in the white Toad Houses of odd-numbered worlds (i.e. World 1: [[Grass Land]], World 3: [[Sea Side]], World 5: [[The Sky]], and World 7: [[Pipe Maze]]) - the even-numbered worlds' white Toad Houses contain [[Anchor]]s.

They can also be found in secret white (blue in the game's remakes) [[Toad House]]s accessible by collecting a certain amount of coins in certain levels in the odd-numbered worlds ([[World 1-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-4]], [[World 3-8 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-8]], [[World 5-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-5]], and [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-2]]), while in the even-numbered worlds (apart from [[Dark Land]]), white Toad Houses contain [[Anchor]]s. Additionally, by beating the game and restarting without resetting it, the player is rewarded with 28 P-Wings in their inventory, though only in the original NES version of the game.
 
[[List of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|Unused data]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that the P-Wing could have been in a [[? Block]], like other power-ups, such as the [[Super Leaf]] and [[Fire Flower]]. Additionally, the [[Orange Mushroom House]] in [[World-e]] has Mario use a P-Wing to ascend to a box while avoiding spikes.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the P-Wing functions differently, warping Mario to the end of the course. If Mario touches a P-Wing, it will go into storage to use later. It only appears if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] loses 10 lives in a (skipped) normal world level (making P-Wing [[Assist Block]]s appear), or within certain [[Mystery Box]]es. Mario will lose the P-Wing if he gets any other power-up (excluding a [[Super Star]] or [[Invincibility Leaf]]), as the P-Wing will be replaced if Mario is in [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or better.
In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the P-Wing functions differently. If [[Mario]] loses 10 lives in a level, an [[Assist Block]] with P-Wings printed on it will appear. When Mario hits this block, a P-Wing will pop out. If he touches the P-Wing, it will go into storage to use later. Tapping it will teleport him to the end of the course. Some [[Mystery Box (Super Mario 3D Land)|Mystery Boxes]] also hold P-Wings in them. However, [[Luigi]] is only able to earn the P-Wing if the player has skipped a level in a normal world (for example, by using a [[Warp Zone]]) or through Mystery Boxes. The same happens to Mario after the level is already conquered.

While the P-Wing does not appear as a power-up in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', it is seen as an icon on the [[P-Meter]], replacing the "P" icon in the meter's original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The P-Meter (and its P-Wing icon) only appears when Mario or [[Luigi]] gets a Super Leaf (i.e. turns into [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]]) or an Invincibility Leaf (i.e. turns into [[White Raccoon Mario|White Raccoon form]])
The P-Wing is seen as an icon the [[P-Meter]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', replacing the "P" icon in the meter's original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Both the P-Meter and the P-Wing appears when Mario or [[Luigi]] gets a Super Leaf (i.e. Turns into [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Mario/Luigi]]).

The P-Wing nor the P-Meter appear in [[New Super Mario Bros. U]] put a [[Super Acorn]] with a P-Mark appears. It is the [[P-Acorn]] it is obtained by [[Nabbit]] and it lets Mario, Luigi, [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] can fly the whole level.
Magic Wings (additionally called '''Raccoon Power Wings''' by Toad) make their appearance in the episode "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]". [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] look in the castle's dungeon for a treasure chest that contains Magic Wings so they can use them to fly to Sky Land and save Mario and Luigi. Princess Toadstool refers to the Magic Wings being golden despite the wings not appearing as such.

The P-Wing makes a cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It appears on the side of some trucks in [[Mushroom Bridge]] and [[Mushroom City]]. Additionally, the license plate of the truck that has the P-Wing on it says "SMB3", a common abbreviation of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

The icon of the power-up appears on the kart's front hood. The back wheel guards of the kart also resemble the item.
