Super Leaf

Grabbing a super leaf transforms Super Mario into Raccoon Mario or Mario into Super Mario. This power-up debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES. As Raccoon Mario, you can fly and attack enemies with your tail. This tail attack is one of the only ways to defeat certain enemies, such as the fire chomp. As with any other power-up in SMB3, transforming into Raccoon Mario allows you to take an extra hit from an enemy, without dying. However, this is at the cost of the transformation.
