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.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the P-Wing<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 11|page=8|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en|date=March/April 1990}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' Player's Guide|page=111|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1993|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=28|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=2003}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition'' instruction booklet|page=18|date=2010|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> (alternatively named '''Magic Wing''' in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] and ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' manuals<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=24|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1990}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario All-Stars'' instruction booklet|page=34|date=1993|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>) allows [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to fly in the air with their [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]]s for an unlimited amount of time for one level only; they revert to their normal Raccoon form abilities after clearing a level. 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 "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 exited which indicates Mario or Luigi has reverted to their normal abilities. A P-Wing ability will also be lost if the player uses [[Lakitu's Cloud]] or a [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]] with it active.

The P-Wing can be combined with the [[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.

 

[[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.

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 Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===

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.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====

A kart called the [[P-Wing (kart)|P-Wing]] appears as a DLC kart in [[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', and is unlockable in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. The icon of the power-up appears on the kart's front hood. The back wheel guards of the kart also resemble the item.

 

 

 

P-Wings appear in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. They are used to transform enemies like [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s into their flying variants, such as the [[Koopa Paratroopa]].
