'''Raccoon Mario''' (spelled '''Racoon Mario''' in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' materials) is a form [[Mario]] turns into after acquiring the [[Super Leaf]], and as of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', [[Luigi]]'s form is called '''Fox Luigi'''. First seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', this form allows Mario to slowly float down when falling, using his tail. Mario can attack enemies with his tail by [[spin]]ning. He is also able to briefly [[fly]] if he runs for a short time and then jumps. Though named as simply "raccoon" in English, most elements associated with the form are primarily inspired by the Japanese {{wp|tanuki}}, or raccoon dog,<ref>In the Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' manual, the flying form of "Tail Mario" is alternatively called "'Nuki Mario" on page 7: 加速を続けて いるとパワー之一夕一が上 昇し、(p)が点滅してマリオが手をひらきサおんな すはやイン音が鳴ります。このと吉素早く A ボタ ンを連打してください。しっぽマリオ、夕じようたい いつていじ かんそら とヌキマリオの状態ならば一定時間 空を飛 ぶこと ができます。(''As you continue accelerating, the power level increases, the (p) symbol flashes, and when Mario opens his hand, you hear a sound. Quickly press the A button repeatedly. Tail Mario, when he has reached the state of 'Nuki Mario, can fly in the sky for a certain period of time.'')</ref> which has legends of magical leaves granting the animal strange abilities; the [[Tanooki Mario]] transformation relates to this, having a full suit rather than just the ears and tail, and is additionally given a [[Statue Mario|statue transformation]] in reference to tanuki abilities in folklore.

Raccoon Mario was created when [[Takashi Tezuka]] wanted a way for Mario to spin and knock away enemies with a tail. At first, the inclusion of a tailed Mario made him worried, but he wanted this new action to implemented in some way. However, the spin was originally meant for when ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' was still using a bird's-eye view, so adjusting the controls to a side-view was a challenge. Flying was a mechanic Tezuka wanted to add since ''Super Mario Bros.'', and Raccoon Mario ultimately ended up being able to do both.<ref>{{cite|author=Sao, Akinori|url=www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2016/November/Nintendo-Classic-Mini-NES-special-interview-Volume-3-Super-Mario-Bros-1157085.html|title=Nintendo Classic Mini: NES special interview – Volume 3: Super Mario Bros.|language=en-gb|publisher=Nintendo UK|accessdate=November 27, 2024}}</ref>

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Even though Super Leaves return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', Raccoon Mario does not, though it was [[List of Super Mario 3D Land pre-release and unused content|considered for the game]]; instead, it was passed over for Tanooki Mario, for visual clarity.<ref name=gamesradar>{{cite|author=Gilbert, Henry|date=March 9, 2012|url=www.gamesradar.com/super-mario-3d-land-interview-we-talk-director-about-secrets-tanookis-and-marios-future|title=''Super Mario 3D Land'' interview - We talk with the director about secrets, Tanookis, and Mario's future|publisher=GamesRadar|language=en|accessdate=November 27, 2024}}</ref> The Tanooki form given by Super Leaves acts as Raccoon Mario does, but without flight. Some enemies are powered-up with Super Leaves, becoming "Tail" versions of themselves (as opposed to "Raccoon," and thus match the unlocalized name of Raccoon Mario): [[Tail Goomba|normal-sized]] and [[Big Tail Goomba|Big Goombas]], [[Tail Bullet Bill|Bullet Bills]], [[Tail Boo|Boos]], [[Tail Thwomp|Thwomps]], [[Tail Bob-omb|Bob-ombs]], and [[Fake Block]]s. Additionally, [[Tail Bowser]]s appear in {{world-link|1|castle3D|World 1-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}} and {{world-link|5|castle3D|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}. Becoming more similar to Raccoon Mario, Tanooki Mario also cannot [[Statue Mario|become a statue]] unless he gained a [[Statue Leaf]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:3DS NewMario2 1 scrn01 E3.png|thumb|Raccoon Mario and the introduced Fox Luigi in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'']]
Raccoon Mario returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', with the form's raccoon ears retaining the same shape and color differences as those of Tanooki Mario in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Luigi's Raccoon form is redesigned to be based on a kitsune, consistent with his Tanooki form in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', and he is titled Fox Luigi. The game similarly adds [[White Raccoon Mario]], the counterpart of [[White Tanooki Mario]] from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. The gameplay mechanics involving Raccoon Mario are somewhat different than in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', since the player must now hold the jump button instead of repeatedly pressing it for Mario to ascend and slowly descend. The tail whip was made quicker, usable underwater, and capable of hitting more enemies. The P-Meter associated with Raccoon Mario decreases to better show the amount of flight time remaining. Since [[Warp Cannon]] stages auto-scroll very fast, Mario can can fly almost indefinitely, from repeatedly landing on platforms before the P-Meter runs out, much like when using a P-Wing. The Raccoon form adds a woodblock beat to the music,<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/0Wnzny-i53s?feature=shared&t=415|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' - 100% Walkthrough - World 1|author=Jannintendo|date=May 16, 2023|publisher=YouTube|language=en|timestamp=06:55}}</ref> and the player character's voice clip is different when touching a regular Goal Pole.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/0Wnzny-i53s?feature=shared&t=532|quote=Whoo! Mario number one!|author=[[Mario]]|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2''}}</ref><ref>{{cite|quote=Ho ho! Number one!|author=[[Luigi]]|url=youtu.be/t08PotBJ62E?feature=shared&t=518|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2''}}</ref>

====''Super Mario Maker'' subseries====
Raccoon Mario returns in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', exclusively in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' style. Raccoon Mario is functionally similar as before, but knocking on a [[Warp Door]] in said game style may cause [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to appear in Raccoon form. In ''Super Mario Maker 2'' only, Luigi, [[Toad]] and [[Toadette]] can obtain this form too, with Toadette making use of it for the first time.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
The form is an incorrect answer to one of [[Pauline]]'s questions during her quiz in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', specifically for her question "Which of these things did I actually do a long time ago?".

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:TailPMSS.png|thumb|The Tail sticker from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'']]
If a [[Tail]] [[sticker]] is used in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', Mario is given a raccoon tail that can deflect enemy attacks for one turn,<ref>{{cite|author=Plaque|location=[[Sticker Museum]]|date=2012|title=''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''|publisher=Nintendo|language=en|quote=A tail that repels attacks that come flying right at you. You've got to swing that tail with good timing, though!}}</ref> although the Tail places itself behind Mario instead of transforming him directly.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/8i2OLYL6RfY?feature=shared&t=381|title=''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' Walkthrough 6.2 (World 6-2) Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla|timestamp=06:21|publisher=YouTube|language=en|date=November 21, 2012}}</ref> [[Bowser Jr.]] is particularly vulnerable to the Tail sticker in his third and final battle. There is the [[Shiny Tail]] variant, which gives a rainbow-colored tail and a stronger counterattack.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
[[File:TailCard.png|75px|thumb|left|The Tail card from ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'']]
Unlike before, the [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#Tail|Tail card]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' transforms Mario into Raccoon Mario directly,<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/N9KjpqzloJU?feature=shared&t=95|title=''Paper Mario Color Splash'': Ludwig Boss Fight (1080p 60fps)|timestamp=01:35|author=Boss Fight Database|date=September 27, 2016|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> though it still allows Mario to deflect enemy attacks, lasting until Mario either takes damage or wins. At least a few Tail cards are required when starting the boss fight against [[Ludwig]] so that the cannonballs launched from the Ludship can be countered.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/N9KjpqzloJU?feature=shared&t=105|title=''Paper Mario Color Splash'': Ludwig Boss Fight (1080p 60fps)|timestamp=01:45|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
The Tail remains a usable battle item in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', turning Mario into Raccoon Mario like before. The Shiny variant also returns, but now retains its original coloration as opposed to the sticker's bright color scheme. As Raccoon Mario, he directly attacks enemies in the same 2x2 area a [[Hammer]] attack reaches, rather than counterattacking foes, and a very brief time period (more than other items or weapons) allows the player to input an [[Action Command]] to deal more damage using the tail whip. Once the attack concludes, Mario reverts to normal.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:RaccoonsCartoon.jpg|thumb|Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'']]
The form is often called '''Raccoon Power''' throughout ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.<ref>{{cite|date=October 20, 1990|language=en|quote=Don't worry, [[Luigi]]! We still gotten raccoon power!|title=''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' - "[[Misadventures in Babysitting]]"|author=[[Mario]]|publisher=[[DIC Entertainment]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=November 17, 1990|language=en|quote=We've gotta get out of these Frog Suits and find Raccoon power, so we can fly after the Doomship!|title=''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' - "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]"|author=Mario|publisher=DIC Entertainment}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=[[Toad]]|language=en|quote=It's really hard to control these Raccoon Power Wings! I must look ridiculous!|date=November 17, 1990|title=''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' - "[[Up, Up, and a Koopa]]"|publisher=DIC Entertainment}}</ref> [[Toad]] and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] have also received Raccoon Power through the use of Super Leaves, and in one instance, P-Wings. In the episode "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", [[Bowser]] uses the [[magic pendant]] to become Raccoon Koopa.

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Mario briefly transforms into Raccoon Mario in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story "[[It's Always Fair Weather]]" after using "Magic Leaf Raccoonias" as a toothpick, and uses the ability to rescue some hot-air balloonists trapped in a cyclone that had been created by Bowser.

===''Club Nintendo'' comics===
In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Marios Rückkehr]]," Mario somehow turns into Raccoon Mario after jumping on two trampolines consecutively. He is flying over the Mushroom Kingdom when he finds two Nintendo Gamer's Guides on a cloud, accidentally hitting a [[Koopa Paratroopa]] and falling to the ground.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Raccoon Mario has appeared in the form of collectible items throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', there is a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Raccoon Mario that can be obtained from the {{iw|smashwiki|Lottery}} randomly after collecting 250 trophies, and it unusually compares the tail to a raccoon's outside of English releases.<ref>{{cite|language=ja|quote=しっぽマリオ -「スーパーこのは」でマリオが変身した姿。アライグマのような尻尾と耳が生えて、 走り回ってメーターがいっぱいになると一定時間空が飛べるようになる。- 飛行の際、尻尾はただ振るのみ。激しく叩きつけるわけでも、回転させるわけでもない。 どのような推進力が発生しているのだろうか…という疑問がどうでもよくなるほど見た目が可愛い。 もちろんルイージが「スーパーこのは」を取れば「しっぽルイージ」になる。 (''Tail Mario - Mario's transformed form with a "Super Leaf". He grows a raccoon-like tail and ears, and when he runs around and fills up a meter, he can fly for a certain period of time. - During flight, the tail simply waves. It doesn't slam hard or rotate. It looks so cute that it makes you wonder what kind of propulsion force is being generated. Of course, if Luigi takes a "Super Leaf", he becomes "Tail Luigi".'')|title=''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''|date=2001|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> A [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of Raccoon Mario appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and it can be applied to any fighter in {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary}} to boost their {{iw|smashwiki|flinch}} resistance by 112 points. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Fox Luigi in particular is an Ace-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}} that grants the fighter easier dodging when used, and the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]'s battle involves battling Luigi in Raccoon form on the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage.

[[File:Raccoon Luigi SSB4.png|thumb|left|Tail Luigi in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'']]
Any fighter can take on the Raccoon form by using the [[Super Leaf]] item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. While in Raccoon form, a fighter can briefly float by holding the jump button in midair, and the speed they move while doing so is equal to their maximum air speed. Like with most other equipable items, the player can lose this form if they are hit enough times or with a strong enough attack; it will also disappear after enough time has passed. This form's tail whip was considered during development of ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U'', but it was later dropped.<ref>{{cite|author=SakuraiMasahiroA|date=April 30, 2014|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20171017180513/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAABnUYnveENoEg|title=''Pic of the day.

===Unused appearances===
====''Super Mario World''====
Raccoon Mario was [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|going to appear]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', but the idea had later been dropped. In the SNES Test Program, Mario's graphics show him with the standard Raccoon tail and ears, which were also seen in preview images for ''Super Mario World''. The transformation was ultimately cut and seems to have been replaced with [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]], a transformation that functions similarly to Raccoon Mario, in the final game.
