The '''Super Leaf''' ({{ja|スーパーこのは|Sūpākonoha}}, ''Super Leaf'') is an [[item]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.  
The '''Super Leaf''' ({{ja|スーパーこのは|Sūpākonoha}}, ''Super Leaf'') is an item from the ''[[Mario (universe)|Mario]]'' universe that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It gives the player raccoon ears and a tail, allowing them to float for about 3 seconds by holding the jump button in a similar manner to Peach's ability; unlike hers, though, the player will still slowly descend. If released before its time runs out, one can reactivate it at any time by holding down the jump button again. While floating, a character can still perform all of their attacks as normal. It can not be used while in a helpless state, such as after many characters' up-special moves.
 
If Peach uses it, then her own float ability will activate first. As soon as she stops using her float ability, or its time runs out, then the Super Leaf's effect will become active.
 
Prior to becoming an item, it was mentioned in passing in the trophy description for Raccoon Mario in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

[[File:SM3DW - Super Leaf.png|thumb|left|100px|Official art of a Super Leaf from ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}''.]]Super Leaves first appeared in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as a power-up item and have returned in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}'' and numerous games since. It turned [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] into {{s|mariowiki|Raccoon Mario}} and Raccoon Luigi, respectively (Fox Luigi in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. 2}}'', and {{s|mariowiki|Tanooki Mario}} and Kitsune Luigi instead in ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and ''Super Mario 3D World''), which let them slow descent (or briefly fly if they ran far enough) by waving the tail, and to attack enemies and hit blocks by swinging their tail. The design of the leaf itself is based around their recent redesign in ''Mario'' games. Its functions in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'' are similar; it gives the fighter raccoon ears and a tail like Raccoon Mario, and allows the player to slow his or her fall, like in the ''Mario'' series. However, it does not allow the character to fly after running far enough or attack with the tail.
The Super Leaf made its debut in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' and has become a recurring item in later ''Mario'' games. Originally, it was a simple brown leaf; ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}'' redesigned the item to appear as a striped brown leaf with small eyes, similar to other ''Mario'' powerups.

The Super Leaf allows the player to transform into various forms based on shape-shifting creatures from Japanese mythology. In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the Super Leaf transforms [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] into {{s|mariowiki|Raccoon Mario}} and Raccoon Luigi, respectively; in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. 2}}'', it turns Luigi into Fox Luigi; in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}'', Mario and Luigi become {{s|mariowiki|Tanooki Mario}} and Kitsune Luigi upon grabbing one.
==Trophy information==

The Super Leaf forms allow the player to fly high if they ran fast enough (though only in 2D ''Super Mario'' games), slow their descent by waving their tail, and hit enemies and blocks by swinging their tail. Also, the Tanooki Mario and Kitsune Luigi forms allow the player to transform into statues (though only upon donning a {{s|mariowiki|Tanooki Suit}} in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and through the use of a {{s|mariowiki|Statue Leaf}} in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', which has the statue transformation replace the Ground Pound move).

==Overview==
The Super Leaf debuted in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as a gear item. It gives the fighter raccoon ears and a tail, allowing them to float for about three seconds by holding the jump button in a similar manner to [[Peach]] and {{SSBU|Daisy}}'s [[floating]] ability; however, the fighter will still slowly descend. If the jump button is released before its time runs out, the player can reactivate it at any time by holding down the jump button again. While floating, a character can still perform all of their attacks as normal. It can not be used while in a helpless state, such as after many characters' up special moves.
In ''[[Ultimate]]'', aerial attacks performed during the Super Leaf's float will never apply the new multiplier for short hop aerial attacks no matter how close to the floor the attacker is, much like Peach's aerials when done out of her float.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*At one point in time, it was considered to allow characters to attack with their tail, another feature the Super Leaf gives in the ''Mario'' games, though it was decided against before the final release of ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.
*At one point in time, it had been considered to allow characters to attack with their tail, another feature this power-up gives in the ''Mario'' games, though it was decided against before the final release.
*Characters that naturally have a tail will have a second tail upon picking up the Super Leaf. Conversely, the raccoon ears are not visible on characters that already have pointed ears (with {{SSBU|Fox}} and {{SSBU|Lucario}} being two examples), with the exception of {{SSBU|Pichu}}.
*Characters that naturally have a tail will have a second tail upon picking up the Super Leaf. Conversely, the raccoon ears are not visible on characters that already have pointed ears (with {{SSB4|Fox}} and {{SSB4|Lucario}} being two examples).
*Although {{SSBU|Luigi}}'s Raccoon and Tanooki forms are Kitsune-themed (as of ''Super Mario 3D Land''), Luigi gains raccoon ears and a tail instead of fox ones if he uses a Super Leaf, like every other character. Similarly, if he grabs 100 coins on [[Golden Plains]], he turns [[Gold fighter|golden]] instead of silver, unlike in ''{{s|mariowiki|New Super Mario Bros. 2}}''.
*Although {{SSB4|Luigi}}'s Raccoon and Tanooki forms are Kitsune-themed (as of ''Super Mario 3D Land''), he is seen in Raccoon form in ''Super Smash Bros. 4''.
*For unknown reasons, {{SSBU|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBU|Olimar}} cannot float with the Super Leaf and simultaneously perform aerials. This applies to {{SSB4|Ness}}, {{SSB4|Lucas}} and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} as well, but only in ''SSB4''.
*For unknown reasons, {{SSB4|Meta Knight}}, {{SSB4|Olimar}}, {{SSB4|Ness}}, {{SSB4|Lucas}}, and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} cannot float with the Super Leaf and simultaneously perform aerials.
**Olimar's inability to attack while floating may be because if he could the Pikmin would have to spawn next to him in an unnatural manner.
*When a {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}} grabs a Super Leaf, they will only gain raccoon ears if they are not wearing any headgear; if they are, then only the tail will appear.
*When a {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}} grabs a Super Leaf, they will only gain raccoon ears if they are not wearing any headgear; if they are, then only the tail will appear.
*{{SSB4|Bowser}} and {{SSB4|Mr. Game & Watch}} can cancel the falling in their [[stall-then-fall]] [[down aerial]]s by activating the Super Leaf float after initiating their down aerials.
*{{SSBU|Bowser}} and {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}} can cancel the falling in their [[stall-then-fall]] [[down aerial]]s by activating the Super Leaf float after initiating their down aerials.
**{{SSB4|Toon Link}} can also do this, but only if he hits an opponent.
**{{SSBU|Toon Link}} can also do this, but only if he hits an opponent.
**The {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}} can also do this, but the falling is canceled very late into the move.
*When {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSBU|Terry}} equip the Super Leaf and use a taunt that removes their hat, the ears stay on their hat instead of their head. The same applies to the [[Bunny Hood]].
