A predecessor to the P-Wing can be found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. It was simply known as the '''Wing'''. When Mario collects it, he will be able to fly in the sky by "swimming" through the air, gaining aquatic properties. However, the power up was only temporary, and if Mario wasn't careful, he'd end up falling somewhere undesirable.

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.

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.


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 ([[World_4_(Super_Mario_Bros._3)#World_4-5|{{world|4|5}}]], [[World_5_(Super_Mario_Bros._3)#World_5-5|{{world|5|5]]}}, [[World_6_(Super_Mario_Bros._3)#World_6-3|{{world|6|3}}]], or [[Pipe_Maze#World_7-Fortress|{{world|7|]][[File:Fortress1-SMB3.png]]}}) and collect that Tanooki Suit.
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.


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. Additionally, by beating the game and restarting without resetting the game, the player is rewarded with twenty-eight P-Wings in their inventory.

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.


Unused data in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that the P-Wing could have been in a [[Question Block]], like other power-ups such as the [[Super Leaf]] and [[Fire Flower]].

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]] loses 10 lives in a level in a normal world (making P-Wing [[Assist Block]]s appear), or within certain [[Mystery Box (Super Mario 3D Land)|Mystery Boxes]]. However, [[Luigi]] is only able to earn the P-Wing in skipped normal world levels (for example, by use of a [[Warp Zone]]), or through Mystery Boxes. The same applies to Mario when revisiting completed levels.

The P-Wing is a special item that debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3. The "P" stands for "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. There is a similar item in New Super Mario Bros. U called the P-Acorn which gives the user infinite gliding.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

MarioPWingSMB3.gif
P-Wing P-Wing P-Wing

In Super Mario Bros. 3, the P-Wing[1][2][3][4] (alternatively named Magic Wing in the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Mario All-Stars manuals[5][6]) allows Mario or Luigi to fly in the air with their Raccoon forms 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 1-Up tricks involving stomping 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 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, then enter a level that has a Tanooki Suit hidden within it (World 4-5, World 5-5, World 6-3, or World 7-Fortress) and collect that Tanooki Suit without losing the P-Wing's power.

P-Wings are commonly found in treasure boxes left behind after defeating certain Hammer Brothers on the map screen. They can also be found in secret white (blue in the game's remakes) Toad Houses accessible by collecting a certain amount of coins in certain levels in the odd-numbered worlds (World 1-4, World 3-8, World 5-5, and World 7-2), while in the even-numbered worlds (apart from Dark Land), white Toad Houses contain Anchors. 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.

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.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

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 Blocks appear), or within certain Mystery Boxes. 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 form or better.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

The P-Wing icon in the P-Meter of New Super Mario Bros. 2

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 form) or an Invincibility Leaf (i.e. turns into White Raccoon form)

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Magic Wings (additionally called Raccoon Power Wings by Toad) make their appearance in the episode "Up, Up, and a Koopa". 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 series[edit]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

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.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

A kart called the P-Wing appears as a DLC kart in 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.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

The P-Wing kart returns in Mario Kart Tour, and two other versions, the Pink Wing and the Frost Wing, also appear.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze[edit]

In Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, planes featuring a P-Wing emblem can be found in the levels Trunk Twister and Crazy Clouds.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition[edit]

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

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, P-Wings in the same design as their Super Mario Bros. 3 sprite can be seen being sold in the antiques shop.
