Waddlewing

Waddlewing are flying squirrel-like enemy in the Mario series. It was introduced in New Super Mario Bros. U. They typically carry a Super Acorn.

Appearance and abilities
Waddlewings are basic enemies that waddle slowly on land to try to go off a ledge. Whenever they are in the air, they glide in the direction they face, slowly descending like Flying Squirrel Mario. When they hit a wall, they cling to the wall to switch around directions and glide that way. They are defeated by most standard methods. Most of the time, they drop a Super Acorn when defeated. If they are in the middle of gliding whenever the sound "bah" plays during the stage music, Waddlewings will perform a front flip.

Appearances
In the main Mario series, the Waddlewings have only appeared in New Super Mario Bros. U and its expansion New Super Luigi U. They mainly appear in Acorn Plains and sky-themed levels.
