The '''Super Acorn''' is an item in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. The item resembles an acorn with red and yellow stripes on top and a red face with eyes on the bottom. It transforms anybody who touches it into the [[Flying Squirrel Mario| flying squirrel form]], gaining puffy overalls, a grayish shirt and shoes, and a large cap featuring two squirrel ears and a beige brim. Characters in this form also receive a tail and two gray membranes underneath the arms. They also gain the ability to lightly glide in a similar way to the [[Raccoon Mario|raccoon]] or [[Cape Mario|cape]] forms as well as the ability to cling to walls and air jump while gliding. This item seems to grow from a large [[Acorn Tree]] in [[Acorn Plains]].
