Elephant Mario[1] is the form Mario takes upon collecting an Elephant Fruit in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. While in this form, the character is transformed into a plump, anthropomorphic elephant, and they are able to attack and defeat enemies such as Goombas by swinging their trunk at them, similar to Raccoon Mario with his tail.[2][3] They can also break through blocks from below or the side, store water in their trunk and spray it on flowers, and dash across two-block-wide gaps.[4] Transforming into the Elephant form also has an effect on the level's music, changing the lead instrument to brass horns, reminiscent of an elephant trumpeting.[5] Upon transforming, all characters will say, "Wowie zowie!"
Unlike most other powerup transformations in the Mario series, this form transforms the character's physical body instead of being a suit of some kind: all characters lose their hair and shoes, though Mario and Luigi keep their mustaches and Peach and Daisy keep their eyelashes; all four of them also keep their eyebrows. While Mario and Luigi assume a typical gray coloration, Blue Toad become blue-gray, Yellow Toad becomes pale yellow, Peach and Toadette become pink, and Daisy becomes light orange. Furthermore, the Toads and Toadette's ears are rounded, while Peach and Daisy's are frilled and have their hair color inside with their earrings attached to their ears. They also have the same color on the tip of their tails and heart-shaped soles under their feet.
