This white colored super leaf is fairly new to the Mario series. It will only appear if you die five times in a level you haven’t already completed (it’s like a pity power-up!).

The Super Leaf has been around for a long time, and it gives Mario the classic Tanooki Suit. The Tanooki Suit lets players float while descending or use the spin attack. If you grab this as Luigi, you’ll use a Kitsune (fox) Suit.
