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''' is one of the many power-up items in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. Super Leaves originated in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]].'' Super Leaves turn Mario into [[Raccoon Mario]]. As such, Mario or Luigi will grow raccoon ears and a raccoon tail. This tail has many functions. A move of the Super Leaf is using the tail the Bros. get to spin nearby enemies by pressing the {{button|nes|B}} Button. Second, if Mario or Luigi is in the air, he can descend slowly by wagging the tail. Third, Mario and Luigi can use the tail to hit a [[Question Block|? Block]]/[[Brick Block]] to make the item pop out or break the Brick Block.

Super Leaves first in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The item transforms [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into [[Raccoon Mario]] or Raccoon Luigi (respectively). If they run for long enough, the P-Meter will become full. When this happens, they can jump and fly by holding {{button|nes|A}}. They can also float down slowly by holding {{button|nes|A}}. If they hit {{button|nes|B}}, they will swing their tails, which can activate [[Question Block|? Blocks]] and kill enemies.
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 Mario World''====
[[File:SuperLeafSMW.png|frame]]
The Super Leaf was [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|going to appear]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', but it was scrapped. The final game introduces a similar power-up, the [[Cape Feather]].


====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:SM3DLLeafs.png|thumb|Super Leaves falling off the Tail Tree]]
After a long hiatus, Super Leaves reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''; however, they turn Mario into [[Tanooki Mario]], and Luigi into Kitsune Luigi (a.k.a. "Tanooki Luigi"). In spite of the change, the Tanooki forms granted by Super Leaves still act as Raccoon Mario, and Bowser's forces are given "Raccoon" forms from the Super Leaves he's stolen. Additionally, the leaves in this game were redesigned by being given strips, eyes and a "bite" mark. They are also more involved with the storyline of the game, rather than just being a mere a power-up. It is revealed at the intro that [[Mushroom Kingdom]]'s Super Leaves grow from a rare tree called the [[Tail Tree]] (on account of its oddly-shaped bough). During a storm, Bowser stole all of the tree's mythical leaves by blowing them up from the tree, using them to power-up his minions and bestowing them with tails to attack and float around. There is also a variation of the Super Leaf in the game called the [[Invincibility Leaf]], that, not only gives Mario a [[White Tanooki Mario|glowing, white Tanooki form]], but also makes him invincible. Mario can only obtain this if the player has lost five lives in a level. Another item similar to the Super Leaf is the [[Statue Leaf]], which allows Mario to turn into a statue for an certain amount of time (essentially reverting to the original [[Tanooki Suit]], except it also functions as a [[Ground Pound]] and lasts much longer).
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}}.
Also, the new artwork makes the Super Leaf look similar to the symbol of the ''Animal Crossing'' series.
 
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''.


====''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 the side-scrolling ''Mario'' game, ''[[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 effects from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and turn Mario or Luigi into Raccoon Mario or Raccoon Luigi, respectively. However, Luigi keeps his Japanese fox (kitsune) tail and ears that were first seen in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' in his [[Tanooki Suit]], or in his case, a "Kitsune Suit". While in this form, the P-Meter appears in the bottom left corner of the top screen and Mario can run for long enough to fill it up to fly by holding {{button|3DS|A}}/{{button|3DS|B}}. He can also glide down by holding {{button|3DS|A}}/{{button|3DS|B}}. He can swing his tail with {{button|3DS|X}}/{{button|3DS|Y}} to activate [[? Blocks]] and kill enemies. In addition, if Mario loses five lives in a level, a block with an [[Invincibility Leaf]] inside appears, just like in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. The only difference is that it changes Mario or Luigi into [[White Raccoon Mario]] or White Raccoon Luigi, respectively. In this form, Mario is invincible and the P-Meter fills up much faster. He can still be killed by [[lava]], bottemless pits or by being squished between two walls, though.
 
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
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 Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
[[File:SMM-SMB3-SuperLeaf.png|frame]]
[[File:SMM2 Super Leaf SMB3 icon.png|thumb|30px]]
The Super Leaf appears in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], exclusively in for the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style.
 
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Super Leaves themselves do not appear physically in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. However, there are two references: the Tail Tree makes an appearance in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], and the [[Lost Kingdom]]'s [[regional coin]]s look similar to Super Leaves. Additionally, a green Super Leaf was used in [[:File:SMO Concept Art - Peach's Yukata.jpg|concept art]] for [[Princess Peach]]'s mask worn in [[Bowser's Kingdom]], but was instead replaced by a [[Boo]] design in the final game.<ref>{{cite|language=ja|author=mario_odysseyJP|date=August 13, 2018|url=x.com/mario_odysseyJP/status/1028770604294524929|title=<nowiki>おはようございます。<br>こちらは浴衣姿のピーチのラフスケッチです！浴衣に合わせたアップスタイルの髪型、ピーチらしさを意識した柄や飾り紐、夏祭りの遊び心を感じさせる小物をポイントにデザインしていきました。</nowiki>|publisher=X|accessdate=September 1, 2024}}</ref>
 
====''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 large Super Leaf from a giant [[block]] in [[Giant Land]] 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. Due to the Super Leaf's size, Mario and Luigi are both seemingly able to obtain Raccoon Power by touching the single leaf at the same time.
 
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.
 
===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:SuperLeaf SuperMarioKun 4.jpg|thumb|left]]
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.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
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.
 
The tail replaces the kart's propeller when used underwater, and it lengthens air glides.
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
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.
 
===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
Super Leaves were [[List of Paper Mario: Sticker Star pre-release and unused content#Unused graphics|originally]] going to be in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', but were removed and likely replaced with [[Tail]] stickers.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', while fighting [[Bowser]]'s minions alongside [[Donkey Kong]], Mario loses his [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]] transformation after taking a hit from one of Bowser's minions, but briefly powers up again afterward after a small struggle to grab a Super Leaf, which grants Mario his [[Tanooki Mario]] form, like its appearances in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]''. 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==
|SpaM=Super Leaf
*In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Super Leaves were green while in the inventory or taken inside [[Toad House]]s, and brown when found in a level. In reference to this, in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', the Super Leaves fresh on the Tail Tree are a lively green.
|Spa2=Súper Hoja
*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]]''.
|Spa2M=Super Leaf
*According to the comic book story "[[It's Always Fair Weather]]", Super Leaves are grown on a plant labeled as "Magic Leaf Raccoonius".
|Spa2C=<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' instruction booklet|page=92|date=2003|language=es-es|publisher=Nintendo of Europe}}</ref>
**In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', Super Leaves are seen in a tree. This tree may be one of this species.
|Spa2N=''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''
*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.
