TheSuper Crown is a power-up item that made its debut inNew Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe. It is a puffy, mushroom-like pink headgear surrounded by a golden band with eyes and is the only power-up in the game that can only be used by a specific character, being exclusively used to transformToadette intoPeachette. The Super Crown's top appears to resemble the mushroom head of Toadette, being pink with white spots. When the crown is on top of Peachette's head, however, the crown itself transforms alongside her. The crown shrinks to fit her head, the eyes disappear, and the pattern on the top changes to four small white spots rather than two large white ones.

The Super Crown can only be used byToadette; other characters cannot collect it. If Toadette picks one up in a level, she transforms intoPeachette, aPrincess Peach lookalike that gives her the ability toDouble Jump and perform Peach'sFloating Jump fromSuper Mario Bros. 2, also controlling identically to theFlying Squirrel form (without the wall-clinging ability and a slower fall). Additionally, she gets boosted out ofpits,lava, orpoison; however, if Peachette attempts the maneuver twice in a row, she will fall into the hazard and lose a life.

The Super Crown replaces mostSuper Acorns found in? Blocks (but not the ones held byWaddlewings) if Toadette is by herself, otherwise only one Acorn is replaced. If Toadette is not being used, then the Super Crown does not appear. The Super Crown can also be won fromToad Houses andEnemy Courses by any character, but they cannot use it in the inventory.
