The '''Super Acorn''' is a power-up item that debuted in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. The item is an acorn highly stylized to resemble [[mushroom]] items from the franchise, with red and yellow stripes on top and a red face with eyes on the bottom. It transforms playable characters into their [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel forms]]. There exists a stronger variant called the [[P-Acorn]].

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Luigi U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', Super Acorns appear as common items and are introduced in the first level: [[Acorn Plains Way]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and [[Waddlewing Warning!]] in ''New Super Luigi U''. They originate from a large [[Acorn Tree]] in [[Acorn Plains]], as seen in the games' introduction; during gameplay, they are usually found within [[? Block]]s, but they can also be carried by [[Waddlewing]]s, which the player has to defeat in order to release the Super Acorn. Upon release, Super Acorns start rolling on the ground and change direction when they touch a wall, similarly to how a [[Super Mushroom]] acts. When collected, they confer [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel]] abilities, such as gliding and sticking to walls for a short time.

There are some Super Acorns rolling around in some parts of the world map, where they can be collected instantly and stored into the inventory.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] port, the [[Super Crown]] replaces most of the Super Acorns in ? Blocks when hit by Toadette.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Super Acorns were added to ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' in the version 3.0.0 update released on April 22, 2020, appearing in the ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' style. In the nighttime ground theme, Super Acorns bounce at varying heights as they travel across the ground.

===''Mario Party: Star Rush''===
In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', Super Acorns appear in the minigame [[One-Stop Toad Shop]], where they can be requested by the [[Toad (species)|Toads]].

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up for ''[[Minecraft]]'', Cocoa Beans are replaced by Super Acorns.

===''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
In the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'', a Super Acorn is featured in the emblem for the [[Acorn Cup]].
