Flying Squirrel Mario

Flying Squirrel Mario 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 air jump while gliding, accomplished by shaking the Wii U GamePad.

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.
