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 [[Goomba]]s by swinging their trunk at them, similar to [[Raccoon Mario]] with his tail.<ref>{{cite| author = Nintendo of America | date = June 21, 2023 | url = youtu.be/JStAYvbeSHc | title = Super Mario Bros.

Other abilities the Elephant form possesses includes holding and throwing large shells, increased strength when pushing movable objects, breaking through multiple layers of blocks from below, collecting multiple coins from brick blocks all at once, and juggling shells or objects in the air repeatedly until they emit coins. The player can also score a combo and earn coins by breaking the fruits spat out by a [[Skedaddler]] multiple times in a row. | Other abilities the Elephant form possesses includes holding and throwing large shells, increased strength when pushing movable objects, breaking through multiple layers of blocks from below, collecting multiple coins from brick blocks all at once, and juggling shells or objects in the air repeatedly until they emit coins.

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, [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Blue Toad]] becomes blue-gray, [[Yellow Toad and Blue Toad|Yellow Toad]] becomes pale yellow, [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Toadette]] become pink, and [[Princess Daisy|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. | 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.

Elephant Mario was also made available as an Ace-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' in the "Showtime and Wonder Spirits!" spirit event that began on the same day as ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]''{{'}}s release on March 22, 2024. Applying the spirit to a character grants them slow super armor. Elephant Mario's puppet fighter in his spirit battle is a giant Mario, and the battle takes place in the Fountain of Dreams, referencing the fountains of the first level of ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', [[Welcome to the Flower Kingdom!]], where the form is introduced. The giant Mario frequently uses his down special move, [[F.L.U.D.D.]], referencing Elephant Mario's ability to spray water. | Elephant Mario was also made available as an Ace-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros.
