A '''P-Acorn''' is an [[List of items|item]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It transforms its user into [[P Flying Squirrel Mario]] with the ability to midair jump indefinitely for the entire stage, similar to the [[P-Wing]] and [[Cape Feather]] from previous games. Its appearance is similar to the [[Super Acorn]], but the top is pale white and gray-striped, with a large, red "P" imprinted on it. In [[Mario]]'s case, his hat and shirt become pale gray; his hat has a large, red "P" instead of his "M" emblem; and he also appears to have a sheen around him. The P-Acorn's power will disappear if the player loses a life, takes damage, grabs a non-Acorn power-up, or completes a level without losing the power-up (the latter of which causing the player to change to the regular [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]]). However, the player will not lose the power-up if the course is completed via capturing [[Nabbit]]. The P-Acorn also grants the player access to shortcuts that completely skip underground sections of levels by flying over the top of the screen past the pipe leading underground, which is otherwise not possible with a normal Super Acorn or even a [[Propeller Suit]]. A few levels that allow these shortcuts are [[Tilted Tunnel]], [[Fire Snake Cavern]], [[Tropical Refresher]], [[Icicle Caverns]], and [[Shifting-Floor Cave]].

A P-Acorn can be obtained by either capturing Nabbit and returning his sack to a [[Toad (species)|Toad]], or after defeating [[Bowser]], if the player saves their profile then opens it again, a P-Acorn will appear instead of a Super Acorn (it also seems to appear at other times). A P-Acorn sometimes appears on the main map in the place of a Super Acorn. There is a rare chance of obtaining a P-Acorn in the middle of [[Tilted Tunnel]] and [[Crushing Cogs Tower]] on the world map instead of a Super Acorn.

A P-Acorn is an item in New Super Mario Bros. U. It transforms its user into P Flying Squirrel Mario with the ability to midair jump indefinitely for the entire stage, similar to the P-Wing and Cape Feather from previous games. Its appearance is similar to the Super Acorn, but the top is pale white and gray-striped, with a large, red "P" imprinted on it. In Mario's case, his hat and shirt become pale gray; his hat has a large, red "P" instead of his "M" emblem; and he also appears to have a sheen around him. The P-Acorn's power will disappear if the player loses a life, takes damage, grabs a non-Acorn power-up, or completes a level without losing the power-up (the latter of which causing the player to change to the regular Flying Squirrel form). However, the player will not lose the power-up if the course is completed via capturing Nabbit. The P-Acorn also grants the player access to shortcuts that completely skip underground sections of levels by flying over the top of the screen past the pipe leading underground, which is otherwise not possible with a normal Super Acorn or even a Propeller Suit. A few levels that allow these shortcuts are Tilted Tunnel, Fire Snake Cavern, Tropical Refresher, Icicle Caverns, and Shifting-Floor Cave.

A P-Acorn can be obtained by either capturing Nabbit and returning his sack to a Toad, or after defeating Bowser, if the player saves their profile then opens it again, a P-Acorn will appear instead of a Super Acorn (it also seems to appear at other times). A P-Acorn sometimes appears on the main map in the place of a Super Acorn. There is a rare chance of obtaining a P-Acorn in the middle of Tilted Tunnel and Crushing Cogs Tower on the world map instead of a Super Acorn.

The player would have not been able to make a Miiverse post if a level was completed with this power-up, even if the level was cleared without taking any damage. This would have been the same if the level was completed while playing as Nabbit in New Super Luigi U.

The sound effect heard when flying through the air in this form is the same one heard when flying as Raccoon Mario.
