P-Wing

A power up in Super Mario Bros. 3 that allowed your character unlimited flight throughout a single level. Often used to skip entire levels by flying over obstacles and enemies, though the boundaries and scrolling patterns of some levels prevented this.

A player making it to the end of a level with the P-Wing intact would retain a raccoon suit for use on the next level.

I racked up a ton of P-wings by memorizing the memory match game.
