They also have orange membranes attached to their hands and cream-colored hindhead and belly.

New Super Mario Bros. U
Flying Squirrels are introduced in New Super Mario Bros. U, where they are rather common enemies, mainly in Acorn Plains and sky levels. Sometimes, they are seen running, however, most of them glide from side to side. Some are also seen clinging to walls. They behave like the Super Koopas from Super Mario World. Flying Squirrels can also carry Super Acorns and drop them if they are defeated.
