Super Leaf

A Super Leaf (also known as the Raccoon Leaf or Tanooki Leaf) is a power-up only available in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style that transforms Mario into Raccoon Mario. As such, Mario will grow raccoon ears and a raccoon tail. This tail has many functions. Mario can descend slowly by wagging the tail; he can briefly fly instead if he fills the Power Meter beforehand. Mario can also tail whip to hit blocks and enemies.
