Template:Diff Template:Form-infobox Flying Squirrel Mario[1] is a form introduced in the Wii U game New Super Mario Bros. U. When he grabs an Super Acorn, Mario can lightly glide in a similar way to Cape Mario and Raccoon Mario and temporarily cling to walls, blocks and pipes. The heroes are also able to use a flying squirrel jump while gliding, which makes Mario soar up into the air. This accomplished by shaking the Wii U GamePad, or by pressing Classic Controller ZL Button or Classic Controller ZR Button.

While Mario is Flying Squirrel Mario, 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 uses a 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.
