The '''Super Leaf''' ({{ja|スーパーこのは}}, ''Sūpākonoha'') is an item from the ''[[Mario (universe)|Mario]]'' universe that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. It gives the player raccoon ears and a tail, allowing them to float by holding the jump button in a similar manner to Peach's ability; unlike hers, though, the player will still slowly descend. 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 character's up-special move.

The '''Super Leaf''' ({{ja|スーパーこのは|Sūpākonoha}}, ''Super Leaf'') is an [[item]] from the {{uv|Mario}} series.  


==Origin==
==Origin==
Super Leaves first appeared in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' as a power-up item and has returned in ''{{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}}'' and numerous games since. It gave Mario and Luigi the ability to transform into {{s|supermariowiki|Raccoon Mario}} and Raccoon Luigi respectively ({{s|supermariowiki|Tanooki Mario}} and Kitsune Luigi in {{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D Land}} and {{s|supermariowiki|Super Mario 3D World}}), which gave them the ability to fly by waving their tail. It also allowed the player to slow descent, also by waving the tail, and to attack enemies by swinging their tail. The design of the leaf itself is based around their recent reappearance in ''Mario'' games. Its functions in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'' are similar; it has been confirmed to transform the player to have raccoon ears and a tail like Raccoon Mario, and allows them to float, like in the ''Mario'' series.
[[File:NSMB2 Raccoon Mario.png|thumb|left|Artwork of [[Mario]] using the Super Leaf from ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' to become Raccoon Mario.]]
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.
 
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.

The Super Leaf (スーパーこのは, Super Leaf) is an item from the Mario series.

Origin[edit]

Artwork of Mario using the Super Leaf from New Super Mario Bros. 2 to become Raccoon Mario.

The Super Leaf made its debut in Super Mario Bros. 3 and has become a recurring item in later Mario games. Originally, it was a simple brown leaf; 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 Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi, respectively; in New Super Mario Bros. 2, it turns Luigi into Fox Luigi; in Super Mario 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World, Mario and Luigi become Tanooki Mario and Kitsune Luigi upon grabbing one.

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 Tanooki Suit in Super Mario Bros. 3 and through the use of a Statue Leaf in Super Mario 3D Land, which has the statue transformation replace the Ground Pound move).

Overview[edit]

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 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.
