'''Flying Squirrel Mario'''<ref>[http://e3.nintendo.com/games/#/wiiu/new-super-mario-bros-u E3 page for ''New Super Mario Bros. U'']</ref> is a form introduced in the [[Wii U]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. When he grabs a [[Super Acorn]], [[Mario]] can lightly glide above ground or long chasms, and can also temporarily cling to vertical surfaces that are safe to touch. | |||
While Mario is in his Flying Squirrel form, he gets red puffy overalls, a grayish shirt and shoes, and a big red cap with two squirrel ears on it and a beige brim. On his back, he has a pair of grey membranes and a tail. This appearance seems to be based off of Raccoon Mario. Flying Squirrel Luigi has these changes, too, but wears green cap and overalls. The Flying Squirrel [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s have a cap colored according to their emblem color, with two bright stripes and squirrel ears. They also get a red handkerchief around their neck, gloves, squirrel-like fur, yellow or blue pants, grayish shoes, flying membranes, and a tail. Toads lose their vests becoming Flying Squirrel Toads. | |||
This form is based on [[wikipedia:Flying squirrel|flying squirrels]], real life mammals that are capable of gliding between trees. [[Waddlewing]]s, creatures that debuted in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' just like the Flying Squirrel form, are inspired from these animals too. | |||

The Flying Squirrel form, along with the [[Super Acorn]], makes its initial appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. While using the power-up, the player can glide by holding down the jump button. While gliding, they can also propel themselves upwards, giving them additional height for a few seconds before they start to descend. Turning around while gliding will causes the player to descend significantly They can also stick to walls, [[block]]s, and [[pipe]]s, but after sticking to a wall, they start sliding downwards after a few seconds. The Flying Squirrel form also allows the player to [[Spin Jump]] higher than normal. | |||
A rarer variant of the Flying Squirrel form, the [[P Flying Squirrel Mario|P Flying Squirrel]], is available in both games. It can be acquired from touching a [[P-Acorn]]. It physically glitters and allows gliding even after propelling upwards. The P-Acorn can only be acquired by catching [[Nabbit]] or finding one on the map. | |||

Template:Form-infobox Flying Squirrel Mario[1] is a form introduced in the Wii U game New Super Mario Bros. U. When he grabs a Super Acorn, Mario can lightly glide above ground or long chasms, and can also temporarily cling to vertical surfaces that are safe to touch.
While Mario is in his Flying Squirrel form, he gets red puffy overalls, a grayish shirt and shoes, and a big red cap with two squirrel ears on it and a beige brim. On his back, he has a pair of grey membranes and a tail. This appearance seems to be based off of Raccoon Mario. Flying Squirrel Luigi has these changes, too, but wears green cap and overalls. The Flying Squirrel Toads have a cap colored according to their emblem color, with two bright stripes and squirrel ears. They also get a red handkerchief around their neck, gloves, squirrel-like fur, yellow or blue pants, grayish shoes, flying membranes, and a tail. Toads lose their vests becoming Flying Squirrel Toads.
This form is based on flying squirrels, real life mammals that are capable of gliding between trees. Waddlewings, creatures that debuted in New Super Mario Bros. U just like the Flying Squirrel form, are inspired from these animals too.
