A '''Super Leaf''' is a [[List of power-ups|power-up item]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Touching one turns the user into their [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]], giving them raccoon ears and a raccoon tail, the latter of which lets them glide, fly after a [[P-Meter|running start]], and tail whip.
A '''Super Leaf''' (also known as the '''Raccoon Leaf'''{{ref needed}} or '''Tanooki Leaf'''{{ref needed}}) is one of the many power-up items in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. Super Leaves originated in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they turn [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into [[Raccoon Mario]] or Raccoon Luigi, respectively. As such, they grow raccoon ears and a raccoon tail, the latter of which lets them glide, fly after a running start, and tail whip.

Super Leaves first appear in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The item transforms [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into [[Raccoon Mario]] or Raccoon Luigi, respectively. Mario or Luigi can descend slowly by wagging the tail (by tapping {{button|nes|A}}); he can briefly fly instead if he fills the [[P-Meter|Power Meter]] (by running) beforehand. Mario or Luigi can also tail whip (by pressing {{button|nes|B}}) to hit [[block]]s and [[List of enemies|enemies]]. In the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version, Super Leaves are green while in the inventory or taken inside [[Toad House]]s, and brown when found in a level.

Additionally, the rarer [[Tanooki Suit]] grants the same abilities as the Super Leaf, while also letting Mario and Luigi [[Statue Mario|turn into a statue]]. The [[P-Wing]] also turns Mario or Luigi into the Raccoon form, but with infinite flight for one level.

Super Leaves appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They were redesigned by being given stripes, eyes, and a hole. Aside from being power-up items, Super Leaves have a role in the plot: The opening cutscene shows that they grow from the [[Tail Tree]], but are stolen by Bowser to power-up his minions, giving them "Tail" forms to attack and flutter around. In gameplay, Super Leaves turn Mario or Luigi into his full-suited [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki form]], though the latter's is distinctly called Kitsune Luigi. The Tanooki forms granted by Super Leaves still act as Raccoon Mario, but without flight. Gliding is executed by holding {{button|3DS|B}} or {{button|3DS|A}}, rather than tapping the buttons. The tail whip is still done by pressing {{button|3DS|Y}} or {{button|3DS|X}}.
After a long absence, Super Leaves reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. However, they turn Mario and Luigi into their full-suited [[Tanooki Mario#Super Mario 3D Land|Tanooki forms]], though Luigi's Tanooki form is now kitsune-themed and called Kitsune Luigi. Also, the Super Leaves were redesigned by being given stripes, eyes, and a "bite" mark. In spite of the changes, the Tanooki forms granted by Super Leaves still act as Raccoon Mario, but without flight. Gliding is executed by holding {{button|3DS|B}} or {{button|3DS|A}}, rather than tapping the buttons. The tail whip is still done by pressing {{button|3DS|Y}} or {{button|3DS|X}}.  


Two new Leaf power-ups are introduced. The [[Invincibility Leaf]] turns the player character into their [[White Tanooki Mario|White Tanooki form]], granting them invincibility for the level, while the [[Statue Leaf]] provides the added ability of [[Statue Mario|turning into a statue]], a function originally from the [[Tanooki Suit]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
Two new Leaf power-ups also debut in this game. The [[Invincibility Leaf]], whose [[Assist Block]] only becomes available if the player has lost five lives in a (skipped) normal world level, turns Mario into [[White Tanooki Mario]], making him invincible for the level. The [[Statue Leaf]], which is exclusive to the Special Worlds, gives Mario the Super Leaf's abilities and lets him [[Statue Mario|turn into a statue]] (by [[Ground Pound|ground pound]]ing), replacing the [[Tanooki Suit]]; the statue now lasts for twelve seconds upon landing, rather than five seconds from activation, as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.


The Super Leaves are also tied into the game's plot, rather than just being in-game power-ups. It is revealed in the game's opening that the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s Super Leaves grow from a rare tree called the [[Tail Tree]] (which has a single tail-shaped branch). Bowser steals the tree's leaves after a storm blows them off; he uses them to power-up his minions, giving them "Tail" forms to attack and flutter around; two of them even become [[fake Bowser]]s this way.
Unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', in this game, all three Leaves have the normal power-up effects when grabbed, instead of the original "poof" effects.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Super Leaves appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Unlike in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', the gameplay mechanics, including the P-Meter, are the same as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Similarly to ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Luigi has another distinct form of his own, named Fox Luigi. The Invincibility Leaf also appears.
Super Leaves also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', having the same design from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. Unlike in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', they retain their original form and abilities from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. However, like in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Luigi's Raccoon form is kitsune-themed and called Fox Luigi, and the gliding and tail whip controls are retained; the former is also used for flight. While in this form, the [[Power Meter]] appears in the bottom left corner of the top screen. In addition, if Mario loses five lives in a level, an [[Invincibility Leaf]] Assist Block appears, just like in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. The only difference is that the leaf inside changes Mario or Luigi into [[White Raccoon Mario]] or White Fox Luigi, respectively. In this form, Mario is invincible for the level, he can run on water, and the Power Meter fills up much faster.


====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
====''Super Mario 3D World''====
Super Leaves appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]. They are encountered in as early as [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 3]], and are less common than in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Super Leaves are still used in the same manner, granting the Tanooki form. Tanooki Peach will use her floating ability before using the form's gliding ability. The Invincibility Leaf and its Assist Block also return, still granting the White Tanooki form, as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.
Super Leaves make a return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', albeit significantly less common than in its predecessor. They are used as they were in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', still granting that game's basic Tanooki form. Tanooki Peach will use her floating ability before using the form's gliding ability. The Invincibility Leaf and its Assist Block also return, still granting the White Tanooki form, as in ''Super Mario 3D Land''.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Super Leaves appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They have the same properties as in ''Super Mario Maker'', but move upwards in the nighttime ground theme.
 
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
In the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' comic book story "[[It's Always Fair Weather]]", Super Leaves are grown on a plant labeled as "Magic Leaf Raccoonius".
 
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
The Super Leaf commonly appears in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', appearing in almost every episode.
 
In "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]", Mario and Luigi use a Super Leaf to escape from an [[Angry Sun]] and fight the [[Koopalings]] at [[Prince Hugo]]'s castle. Annoyed at Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi's distraction, powered-up [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Big Mouth]] effortlessly blows away Mario, causing him to crash into a pipe and get bitten by a [[Piranha Plant]], while he jabs and captures Luigi.
 
In "[[Mind Your Mummy Mommy, Mario]]", Raccoon Luigi tows his [[Steam Cloud Balloon]], which [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] are riding in, into [[Bowser's Castle|Kastle Koopa]]. Before they make it, however, they get caught in a [[Mushroom Kingdom]] [[Tornado|twister]] and crash-land on one of the castle's towers.
 
In "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]", when escaping Kastle Koopa, Mario searches for Super Leaves by bashing blocks in the ceiling after Toad comments that they would be free if they could fly. Later on, when [[Larry Koopa|Cheatsy Koopa]] usurps King Koopa's throne and informs him that Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad are all locked in his bedroom as prisoners, they both witness them flying out of the castle in their raccoon forms.
 
In "[[Toddler Terrors of Time Travel]]", at the end of the episode, Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi return to the present day and stop King Koopa and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Kooky von Koopa]] from making Princess Toadstool surrender the Mushroom Kingdom to them by throwing a drain clog from earlier at Koopa, which prompts them to retreat into a [[Warp Pipe]]. Despite being in their raccoon forms, Mario and Luigi transforming into said forms via a Super Leaf is not shown.
 
In "[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]", when being held by a [[Pipe creatures|pipe creature]], Mario transforms into Raccoon Mario after gaining a Super Leaf from a [[Note Block|Jump Block]] and escapes.
 
In "[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]", Mario and Luigi each find Super Leaves when fleeing from a flood of lava in the [[Pipe Land|Pipe Maze]] with [[Junior]], who they then grab ahold of and fly into a Warp Pipe to escape.
 
In "[[Do the Koopa]]", when needing to cross a wide gap in Dark Land's [[Temple of Gloom]], Mario breaks [[? Block|block]]s containing Super Leaves after Toad suggests he does. Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool and Toad then transform into their raccoon forms and fly over the gap. However, the group are later reverted back to their normal forms after taking damage from two [[Bowser Statue|Koopa statue]]s.
 
In "[[Mush-Rumors]]", Mario and Luigi don their raccoon forms when rescuing a family of real-world residents from the Koopalings, which they keep for the remainder of the episode.
 
In "[[Crimes R Us]]", Mario uses a Super Leaf (while Luigi uses a [[Fire Flower]] to transform into [[Fire Mario|Fire Luigi]]) when they discover that the Koopalings are pulling a bank heist at the [[First Mushroom Bank]]. When fighting the Koopalings, Raccoon Mario [[Tail Attack|uses his tail]] to whack a sack of [[Coin|Gold Coin]]s out of [[Roy Koopa|Bully Koopa]]'s hands and into [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop]]. Mario loses his raccoon form when [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]] wrap him up in a stolen fur scarf. Later on in the episode, Mario gets another Super Leaf from a Jump Block by luring a [[Boom Boom]] towards him.
 
In "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]", Mario and Luigi find Super Leaves from bashing blocks with their fists and proclaim that they will fly to [[Airship|Koopa's Doomship]] and destroy the Koopas' [[Kooper-Dooper Raiser-Upper]]. They then carry [[Emperor Ed]] to his castle in [[Sky Land]], while Ed gives directions. Later on, the Mario Bros. fly onto a porthole of the Doomship, when King Koopa spots them and traps the brothers in a cage, causing them to lose their raccoon powers.
 
In "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]", Mario, Luigi and Toad use their raccoon forms they can fly up to King Koopa's Doom Ship and rescue Princess Toadstool, but lose them when crashing into a large, spherical force field appears in the Warp Pipe that the Doom Ship went through. The three later regain their raccoon forms and attempt to pull the force field out of the pipe using a giant plunger, but end up pulling the plunger off the force field, flinging themselves onto the ground and losing their raccoon forms.
 
In "[[True Colors]]", Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi chase away a swarm of [[Paragoomba|Para-Goomba]]s and [[Para-Beetle]]s.
 
In "[[Recycled Koopa]]", Mario and co. collect Super Leaves from blocks and transform into their raccoon forms to flee from a Koopaling attack at [[Peach's Castle|the princess' castle]].
 
In "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", King Koopa uses the [[Power Pendant]] to use a Super Leaf and transform into "Raccoon Koopa". When Mario, Luigi and the [[submarine captain]] are imprisoned in the [[Bastille]], Mario gets a Super Leaf from a Super Block smuggled in by Toad and uses his raccoon powers to break down a wall in his cell, allowing him, Luigi and the captain to escape. When Toad sees Raccoon Koopa in the sky, he tosses a Super Leaf to Luigi, allowing him to transform as well. Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi pursue Raccoon Koopa, but Koopa whacks Mario and reverts him back to normal, and Luigi catches him before he can fall.

A Super Leaf appears in volume 4 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', although the arc deals primarily with ''Super Mario World''. Luigi, who is apparently controlled by [[Boo]]s, traps Mario and Yoshi with a rope. Mario hits a ? Block, and he grabs the Super Leaf that appears and transforms into Raccoon Mario. He then frees Yoshi and himself and knocks the Boos from Luigi, returning Luigi to normal.

In ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'', Super Leaves make a very brief appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Cookie|Yoshi no Cookie]]'', appearing on flags held by [[Toad (species)|Toad]] audience members at the beginning of a Versus Mode match.  
The Super Leaf can be seen as the logo for the [[Leaf Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. As of ''Mario Kart 7'', the ''Super Mario 3D Land'' redesign is used for the logo.

Super Leaves are items in ''Mario Kart 7''. They can be obtained if the player is anywhere from 1st to 4th place, with CPUs being unable to obtain it in 1st place in VS races. Here, they create a striped tail on the back of the kart which doubles as an offensive and defensive feature. Pressing {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|X}} swings the tail which can hit other karts, collect coins, and protect the player's kart from other items such as [[Green Shell]]s. However, if the tail is hit by shells while idle, it disappears. When activated, the Super Leaf lasts for 10 seconds, or until the player spins out, tumbles over, or is hit by a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Spiny Shell]]. The Tanooki Mario transformation sound from ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' plays when the tail is equipped, and the tail whip sound from the same game plays when it is used.

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
As this game was released just a month after ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the Super Leaf's design comes from that game.
The Super Leaf is an item in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Autumn Tour (2021)|2021 Autumn Tour]]. It is the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of Tanooki Mario, Tanooki Rosalina and Kitsune Luigi. It functions similarly to its appearance in ''Mario Kart 7'', with some additional functions: nearby coins are drawn to the player when used, similarly to the [[Boomerang Flower]], and the player will hover in the air while using the item, which prevents the player from performing [[Jump Boost]]s, similarly to the [[Bubble]]. To use the item, the player has to tap the screen once, causing the tail to spin multiple times before disappearing. When Super Leaf+ is active, the player will have their movement speed increased when using the item.

Afterward, Mario uses the power-up to fight off more of Bowser's minions, rescue [[Luigi]], intercept [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]]'s wedding, and stop a [[Bomber Bill]] from striking [[Peach's Castle]]. He loses the power-up after being blown away by the impact of the Bomber Bill's blast and colliding into Bowser's ship. Unlike its appearances in the aforementioned games, Tanooki Mario is fully capable of flight within the film.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*In "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]", Mario and Luigi managed to find a huge Super Leaf hidden within an equally large [[block]] in [[Giant Land]]. Due to the Super Leaf's size, Mario and Luigi were both seemingly able to obtain Raccoon Power by touching the single leaf at the same time.
{{NIWA|SmashWiki=1}}
*In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Super Leaves are green while in the inventory or taken inside [[Toad House]]s, and brown when found in a level. Possibly in reference to this, in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', the Super Leaves fresh on the Tail Tree are a lively green.
*What appear to be small, green Super Leaves can be seen on the head of the [[Tanoomba]] and [[Tashrooba]] enemies from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''.
*According to the comic book story "[[It's Always Fair Weather]]", Super Leaves are grown on a plant labeled as "Magic Leaf Raccoonius".
*In "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]", Mario and Luigi managed to find a huge Super Leaf hidden within an equally large [[Block]] in [[Giant Land]]. Due to the Super Leaf's size, Mario and Luigi were both seemingly able to obtain Raccoon Power by touching the single leaf at the same time.
*Super Leaves were [[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star pre-release and unused content#Unused graphics|originally]] supposed to be in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', but were removed and likely replaced with [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)#Tail|Tail]] stickers.
*In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Lily Pads are replaced by green Super Leaves.
*A Super Leaf was originally intended to cameo in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' as the mask for Peach's Bowser Kingdom outfit. Its design was largely derived from post-''Super Mario 3D Land'' appearances, although it was given the color green derived from the NES version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.<ref>https://twitter.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/1028770604294524929</ref>
