A Super Leaf is an item found in the game Super Mario Bros. 3. The item transforms Mario or Luigi into Raccoon Mario or Raccoon Luigi (respectively). As such, Mario or Luigi will grow raccoon ears and a raccoon tail. This tail has many functions. First, the tail can be twirled to attack nearby enemies. 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 ? Block to make the block pop out. Lastly, if Mario or Luigi runs while wagging his tail, he will be able to temporarily fly. Sadly, a Super Leaf never appeared in another Mario game. In Super Mario World, there was an item that had the same effects called a cape feather, but it gave Mario a cape instead of a raccoon tail.
Trivia
- The Super Leaf is used as an icon for the Leaf Cup in Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii.
- Like the Tanooki Suit, the Super Leaf is based on the mythical Japanese raccoon-like creature known as the "tanuki".
- In Super Mario World, the Super Leaf was replaced with a similar item called the Cape Feather, that also allowed Mario and Luigi to fly (although in a different manner).
- What appears to be small, differently colored 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.
- According to the comic book story "It's Always Fair Weather", Super Leaves are grown on a plant labeled as Magic Leaf Raccoonius.
