Tanooki Mario makes a reappearance in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] as the main form. In this game, Mario becomes Tanooki Mario when he obtains a [[Super Leaf]] (since neither [[Raccoon Mario]] nor the Tanooki Suit appear in the game); the form is also slightly redesigned, as its ears, the fronts and insides of which are lighter-colored, are rounded and on the front of the hood, facing forward (rather than on the sides facing outward), and a brim was added. However, the form's mechanics are different from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', as while Mario can still tail whip (by pressing {{button|3ds|X}} or {{button|3ds|Y}}) and glide (now done by holding {{button|3ds|A}} or {{button|3ds|B}}, as with [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]], rather than tapping the buttons), he cannot fly during gameplay. His slow descent also speeds up back to normal as {{button|3ds|A}} or {{button|3ds|B}} is held, rather than his acceleration decreasing only when those buttons are pressed. The tail whip is usable underwater, and able to hit more enemies. Mario also gains a new Tail Spin move<ref>{{cite|format=PDF|date=2013|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210313130903/https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/manual-WiiU-Super_Mario_3D-World.pdf|title=''Super Mario 3D World'' manual|page=20|publisher=Nintendo of America|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}</ref> in this form (done by pressing {{button|3ds|X}} or {{button|3ds|Y}} while crouching) which replaces the [[Roll]] and Rolling [[Long Jump|Leap]], letting him tail whip continuously, even while moving; this move can also be used to spin [[Tail Wheel]]s, which can help him ascend quickly.

[[Statue Mario]] also reappears in this game (making this form closer to its original depiction), but it can only be used once a [[Statue Leaf]] is found in the Special Worlds, or in a Deluxe [[StreetPass Gift]]. Tanooki Mario gains a red scarf to show he can use the form; the statue also wears a red scarf and now depicts Tanooki Mario raising his right hand. It replaces the [[Ground Pound]], and lasts for twelve seconds upon landing, unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. A new variation of Tanooki Mario also appears in this game, called [[White Tanooki Mario]]. Mario or Luigi can only obtain this form by collecting an [[Invincibility Leaf]] after losing five lives in a (skipped) normal world level, and it makes him completely invincible for the duration of the level.

When Mario and [[Donkey Kong]] fight off Bowser's forces near the end of the movie, Mario punches a [[? Block]] containing a [[Super Leaf]]. When grabbed, he becomes Tanooki Mario. After fighting a few enemies, Mario flies down and saves Luigi's life. The two hug and Luigi comments on Mario's appearance looking like a bear, causing Mario to twitch his tail in embarrassment. Peach also plays with the fur on Mario's head when they reunite. Later in the scene, Mario uses the [[Tanooki Suit]] to redirect a [[Banzai Bill|Bomber Bill]] homed in on Peach's Castle by using the suit's tail swipe ability to attack its left eye. The Bomber Bill then homes in on Mario, chasing him through the Mushroom Kingdom while he flies through the air with the Tanooki Suit. Mario then leads the Bomber Bill into the green [[Warp Pipe]] from which he entered the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] at the beginning of the film. Donkey Kong thinks the suit is a raccoon and Luigi thinks it is a bear, referencing two common assumptions about it. Excluding the credits to ''Super Mario 3D Land'', this is the first time since ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' where Tanooki Mario can fly.
