Editing P-Acorn

}}

A '''P-Acorn''' is an item in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. It transforms its user into [[P Flying Squirrel Mario]] with the ability to midair jump indefinitely for the entire stage, similar to the [[P-Wing]] and [[Cape Feather]] from previous games. Its appearance is similar to the [[Super Acorn]], but the top is pale white and gray-striped, with a large, red "P" imprinted on it. In [[Mario]]'s case, his hat and shirt become pale gray; his hat has a large, red "P" instead of his "M" emblem; and he also appears to have a sheen around him. The P-Acorn's power will disappear if the player loses a life, takes damage, grabs a non-Acorn power-up, or completes a level without losing the power-up (the latter of which causing the player to change to the regular [[Flying Squirrel Mario|Flying Squirrel form]]). However, the player will not lose the power-up if the course is completed via capturing [[Nabbit]].

To obtain a P-Acorn, the player must either capture Nabbit and return his sack to a [[Toad (species)|Toad]], or after defeating [[Bowser]], if the player saves their profile then opens it again, a P-Acorn will appear instead of a Super Acorn (it also seems to appear at other times). A P-Acorn can appear sometimes on the main map in the place of a Super Acorn. Another way to obtain a P-Acorn, with a very slim chance of doing so, is that sometimes, in the middle of [[Tilted Tunnel]] and [[Crushing Cogs Tower]] on the world map, it is either this power-up or the [[Super Acorn]] (which is more common) that appears.

 

The P-Acorn also grants the player access to shortcuts that completely skip underground sections of levels by flying over the top of the screen past the pipe leading underground, which is otherwise not possible with a normal [[Super Acorn]] or even a [[Propeller Suit]]. A few levels that allow these shortcuts are [[Tilted Tunnel]], [[Fire Snake Cavern]], [[Tropical Refresher]], [[Icicle Caverns]], and [[Shifting-Floor Cave]].
