Super Clam

The Super Clam is an item which can transform Mario into Otter Mario as well as other Mario-series characters into their respective Otter forms. As a power-up, the item grants the user an extra hit in addition to several otter-related abilities upon collection. As its name suggests, the Super Clam appears as a clam with two Super Mushroom-like eyes on its shell.
== Otter form ==
Mario and his friends enter their Otter forms when they collect the Super Clam. Instead of wearing an otter-themed costume à la the tanuki-themed costumes of Tanooki form, users physically transform into an otter when they enter Otter form similar to the elephant transformation of Elephant form. However, while Otter characters usually retain their outfits as otters, some of their clothes may change color. For Otter Mario, Mario's hat and shirt change from red to brown while his blue overalls turn gray. Some characters may also have different-colored bodies in Otter form.
Otter form grants the user several abilities. On land, Otter characters can perform a directional roll attack when crouching that damages most enemies upon contact. Otter characters can also stretch upward or to the side similar to the Tropical Wiggler capture ability in Super Mario Odyssey, allowing them to grab onto platform ledges or squeeze into small gaps. Other enemies or players can also walk along Otter characters who have stretched out to the side. Any Otter character can additionally do a short spin on the ground or in the air that damages enemies similar to Raccoon form's tail attack; while in the air, the character will briefly pose after performing this trick. Lastly, Otter characters can additionally use their roll ability to roll atop water or other liquid bodies.
In the water, characters gain the abilities to swim smoothly and quickly in any direction like Frog Mario by paddling their paws and to dive deeper by Ground Pounding. They can also perform a water spin attack similar to the underwater Star Spin ability in Super Mario Galaxy, and jumping out of the water will give the character an aerial boost.
