The '''P-Wing''' is a special [[List of items|item]] that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The "P" stands for "[[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]" or "Patapata" (the Japanese name for that enemy). It functions similarly to the earlier power-up from ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'' simply known as the [[Wing (Super Mario Bros. Special)|Wing]]. There is a similar item in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' called the [[P-Acorn]] which gives the user infinite gliding.
The '''P-Wing''' is a special item that first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The "P" stands for [[Paratroopa]] or Patapata (the Japanese name for that enemy).

A predecessor to the P-Wing can be found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. It was simply known as the '''Wing'''. When Mario collects it, he will be able to fly in the sky by "swimming" through the air, gaining aquatic properties. However, the power up was only temporary, and if Mario wasn't careful, he'd end up falling somewhere undesirable.

In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the P-Wing allows [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to fly in the air with their [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]]s for an unlimited amount of time. However, if the brothers are hit while flying, or receive a non-flying-based power-up within a level, they will lose the power of the P-Wing. Additionally, the effects of the P-Wing only last until the level ends. After that, the brothers are left with their basic [[Super Leaf]] abilities.

However, if the brothers are hit or receive a non-flight-based power-up within a level, they will lose the power of the P-Wing. Infinite [[Extra life|1-Up]] tricks involving [[stomp]]ing do not work in this form.
If a P-Wing is used from the map screen, the letter "P" on Mario or Luigi's body (as shown in the sprite on the left) indicates that they have P-Wing abilities. The letter "P" isn't seen in the actual level or on the map screen after the level is completed.


If a P-Wing is used from the map screen, the "P" on Mario or Luigi's body (as shown in the sprite on the left) indicates that they have P-Wing abilities. The "P" is not seen in the actual level and it is not seen again on the map screen once the level is completed which indicates Mario or Luigi has reverted to their normal abilities.
The P-Wing can be combined with the [[Tanooki Suit]]. However, in order to do this, one must use a P-Wing upon entering a level that has a Tanooki Suit hidden within it ([[World_4_(Super_Mario_Bros._3)#World_4-5|{{world|4|5}}]], [[World_5_(Super_Mario_Bros._3)#World_5-5|{{world|5|5]]}}, [[World_6_(Super_Mario_Bros._3)#World_6-3|{{world|6|3}}]], or [[Pipe_Maze#World_7-Fortress|{{world|7|]][[File:Fortress1-SMB3.png]]}}) and collect that Tanooki Suit.


The P-Wing can be combined with the [[Tanooki Suit]]. However, in order to do this, one must use a P-Wing, then enter a level that has a Tanooki Suit hidden within it ([[World 4-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-5]], [[World 5-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-5]], [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 6-3]], or {{world-link|7|fortress|World 7-Fortress 1}}) and collect that Tanooki Suit without losing the P-Wing's power.
P-Wings are commonly found in chests left behind after defeating certain [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] on the map screen. They can also be found in secret white [[Toad House]]s (blue in the game's remakes) accessible via collecting a certain amount of coins in a certain level of a world. However, P-Wings can only be found in the white Toad Houses of odd-numbered worlds (i.e. World 1: [[Grass Land]], World 3: [[Sea Side]], World 5: [[The Sky]], and World 7: [[Pipe Maze]]) - the even-numbered worlds' white Toad Houses contain [[Anchor]]s. Additionally, by beating the game and restarting without resetting the game, the player is rewarded with twenty-eight P-Wings in their inventory.


P-Wings are commonly found in [[treasure chest|treasure box]]es left behind after defeating certain [[Hammer Bro]]thers [[Enemy Course|on the map screen]]. They can also be found in secret white (blue in the game's remakes) [[Toad House]]s accessible by collecting a certain amount of coins in certain levels in the odd-numbered worlds ([[World 1-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-4]], [[World 3-8 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-8]], [[World 5-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-5]], and [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-2]]), while in the even-numbered worlds (apart from [[Dark Land]]), white Toad Houses contain [[Anchor]]s. Additionally, by beating the game and restarting without resetting it, the player is rewarded with 28 P-Wings in their inventory, though only in the original NES version of the game.
Unused data in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' shows that the P-Wing could have been in a [[Question Block]], like other power-ups such as the [[Super Leaf]] and [[Fire Flower]].

Additionally, the [[Orange Mushroom House]] in [[World-e]] has Mario use a P-Wing to ascend to a box while avoiding spikes.

In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the P-Wing functions differently, warping Mario to the end of the course. If Mario touches a P-Wing, it will go into storage to use later. It only appears if [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] loses 10 lives in a (skipped) normal world level (making P-Wing [[Assist Block]]s appear), or within certain [[Mystery Box]]es. Mario will lose the P-Wing if he gets any other power-up (excluding a [[Super Star]] or [[Invincibility Leaf]]), as the P-Wing will be replaced if Mario is in [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] or better.

The same applies to Mario when revisiting completed levels.

While the P-Wing does not appear as a power-up in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', it is seen as an icon on the [[P-Meter]], replacing the "P" icon in the meter's original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The P-Meter (and its P-Wing icon) only appears when Mario or [[Luigi]] gets a Super Leaf (i.e. turns into [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]]) or an Invincibility Leaf (i.e. turns into [[White Raccoon Mario|White Raccoon form]])

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Magic Wings (additionally called '''Raccoon Power Wings''' by Toad) make their appearance in the episode "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]" where [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and [[Toad]] look for a treasure chest that contains them in the castle's dungeon to use them to reach Sky Land and find Mario and Luigi.
Neither the P-Wing nor the P-Meter appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', but a [[P-Acorn]] (a [[Super Acorn]] with a P-Mark) appears. It is obtained from the [[Nabbit]] enemy, and it lets Mario, Luigi, [[Yellow Toad (character)|Yellow Toad]] and [[Blue Toad (character)|Blue Toad]] fly for the whole level.
