How New Super Mario Bros. U's squirrel suit changed during development

“For this iteration of New Super Mario Bros., we have the flying squirrel. If you notice, if you shake the Wii remote while he’s gliding you’ll actually boost and get a little bit of elevation. That wasn’t the original idea; that’s something we added as we were going through development and realized it would be a good addition to the fundamental feature of the flying squirrel Mario.” - Takashi Tezuka

Hey...anything that gives me a double jump, or something close to it, is always a winner in my eyes. I need all the help I can get sometimes!
