'''Tanooki Mario''' is a form of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' when he obtains a [[Tanooki Suit]]. When they have this form, they will look like [[Tanooki]]s and turn into a statue, known as '''Statue Mario''' or '''Statue Luigi''', when pressing {{button|nes|B}} and Down on the {{button|nes|Pad}} at the same time, in addition to temporarily flying like [[Raccoon Mario]]. When Mario or Luigi is in a statue form, they are invincible. This makes it an improved version of Raccoon Mario.  
'''Tanooki Mario''' is a form of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In its debut, it was attained by donning a [[Tanooki Suit]], and gave the abilities of [[Raccoon Mario]] (which it is often confused with) and an added [[Statue Mario|statue transformation]].


This form's name comes from the ''{{wp|Japanese raccoon dog|tanuki}}'', a type of raccoon dog found in Japan and often depicted in folklore. As of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', Luigi's version of the form is mostly called '''Kitsune Luigi''', referring to the ''{{wp|kitsune}}''. Additionally, in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Statue Mario resembles {{wp|Kṣitigarbha}}, the protector of travelers and the guardian of souls, who is known as ''Daigan Jizō Bosatsu'' in Japan.
When Tanooki Mario is a statue, he cannot be hurt and if he uses this ability in the air, he can slam down like a [[Thwomp]]. This can destroy certain enemies and trigger switches. It will instantly destroy all [[Goomba]]s and enemies with throwable shells (Koopas, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, and [[Spiny|Spinies]]). It can also stomp previously unstompable enemies like [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Piranhacus Giganticus]], [[Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Spiny Egg]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Podoboo]]s, [[Fire Snake]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s. It is also the only way to destroy [[Roto-Disc]]s and [[Rocket Engine]] flames. Statue Mario will sink rapidly underwater and can even oppose the upward currents coming from pipes. This allows him to stomp [[Lava Lotus]]es, [[Blooper]]s and fish enemies underwater. [[Boss Bass]] is the only fish that Statue Mario can't stomp on and the only enemy that can harm him in that form by eating him. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', [[Tweester]] can turn Statue Mario back into Tanooki Mario on contact but he can still turn into Statue Mario while in the Tweester though it will not free him or have any desirable effect. One setback is that while Mario is a statue, he cannot move.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:Tanooki Mario SMB3 art.png|thumb|Artwork of Tanooki Mario from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]
The first appearance of Tanooki Mario is in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', when Mario obtains a Tanooki Suit. In this form, he can turn into [[Statue Mario|an invulnerable statue]] by holding {{button|Paddown}} and pressing {{button|nes|B}} at the same time, in addition to using [[Raccoon Mario]]'s moves, making it an improved version of Raccoon Mario. Additionally, if Mario dons a Tanooki Suit while using a [[P-Wing|Magic Wing]], he will retain the infinite flight and gain the Statue ability.


As a statue, Tanooki Mario cannot be hurt, and if he uses this ability in the air, he can slam down like a Thwomp. This can destroy many enemies, instantly destroying all Goombas and enemies with throwable shells (like [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle|Buzzy Beetles]], and [[Spiny|Spinies]]). It can also stomp previously unstompable enemies like [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant|Piranhacus Giganticus]]es, [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Spiny Egg]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s, [[Fire Snake|Firesnake]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s.
Tanooki Mario is not to be confused with actual [[Tanooki]]s, who are a [[species]] found only on [[Isle Delfino]].


The Statue form is also the only way to destroy [[Roto-Disc]]s and [[Burner|Rocket Engine]] flames. Statue Mario will sink rapidly underwater, and can even oppose some pipes' upward currents. This allows Mario to stomp [[Lava Lotus]]es, [[Blooper|Bloober]]s and fish enemies underwater. [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] is the only fish that Mario cannot stomp on, and the only enemy that can defeat him in that form by eating him. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', the [[tornado]] can turn Statue Mario back into Tanooki Mario on contact. He can still turn into the statue while in the tornado, but it will not free him or have any desirable effect. Statue Mario will also automatically revert to Tanooki form in five seconds.
The Tanooki Mario form's name comes from the [[wikipedia:Tanuki|tanuki]], an animal found in Japan and is often depicted in folklore. The form that Statue Mario takes while wearing the Tanooki Suit is [[wikipedia:Ksitigarbha#In_Japan|Kshitigarbha]], who is the protector of travellers and the guardian of souls. In Japan he is known as Jizo-Bosatsu.


In the NES version's ending, a Koopa Troopa can be seen comically praying before Statue Mario as if he was a religious idol.
Tanooki Mario will make a reappearance in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. In game, Mario becomes Tanooki Mario when he obtains a [[Super Leaf]] (since neither [[Raccoon Mario]] nor the Tanooki Suit will appear in the game). In his Tanooki form, Mario can spin and use his tail to defeat enemies and destroy blocks lying over the ground. He can also glide by shaking his tail and so fall slowly. In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', however, Tanooki Mario cannot turn into a statue or fly.
 
''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' adds new utilities to this form that are seen in several [[World-e]] levels: its Statue form can reveal [[Vanishing Block]]s (found in [[A Sky-High Adventure]]) and break [[Rock Block]]s (found in A Sky-High Adventure and [[Puzzling Pipe Maze]]). This version of the game also makes Luigi's Statue form as tall as he usually is, rather than copying Mario's.
 
====''Super Mario 64''====
The ''Nintendo Power'' player's guide for ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' mentions the [[Tanooki Suit]] in the guide section on [[Snowman's Land]], suggesting that it could keep Mario warm in the frigid climate if it was still available.<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott and Dan Owsen|title=''Super Mario 64 Player's Guide''|page=88|date=1996|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>
 
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:TanookiMario SM3DS.png|thumb|Artwork of Tanooki Mario from ''Super Mario 3D Land'']]
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.
 
Luigi's Tanooki Suit and Statue form are now Kitsune-themed, rather than Tanooki-themed, unlike in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and most languages (including the original Japanese) call his Tanooki form Kitsune Luigi. Additionally, Statue Luigi has a green scarf and is shown holding out his left hand, unlike his brother.
 
[[File:3DS SuperMario 1 scrn01 E3.png|thumb|left|Tanooki Mario gliding on an [[Airship]] in ''Super Mario 3D Land'']]
In the game's ending, Mario and the three [[Toad (species)|Toads]] that had joined him on his journey become Tanooki Mario and '''Tanooki Toads''' by using Super Leaves. Mario carries Princess Peach and the Toads flutter around as they fly all the way back to [[Peach's Castle]] during the credits (despite the lack of flight in-game). Despite using Super Leaves, the Toads are seen sporting scarves that match their vest and cap colors, much like Statue Mario.
 
In the Special Worlds, [[Toad]] himself sports a Tanooki Suit in the [[Toad House]]s and pre-airship level cutscenes; in the former, he often gives a [[Super Leaf]] to either Mario or Luigi in representation of his get-up. Tanooki Toad (much like the other Toads sporting Tanooki Suits) also wears a colored scarf (red in Toad's instance) around his neck.
 
When the player completes all the levels, a picture appears after the credits are finished. It shows two Tanooki Toads and '''Tanooki Peach''' (wearing a Tanooki Suit version of her normal dress).
{{br}}
 
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
The normal and White Tanooki forms also appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', functioning just as they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Toad and Peach's Tanooki Suits look almost the same: Peach's is darker-colored and has puffy shorts and darker legs, rather than its ''Super Mario 3D Land'' design, and Toad's has darker feet and lacks a scarf. Mario and Luigi's suits remain the same. Rosalina's Tanooki Suit in this game is the same as Peach's, though with darker arms and shorter gloves. When Peach is wearing the suit, she will float before using the suit's [[scuttle]], and can gain even more horizontal distance this way.
 
====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
In ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', knocking on a [[Warp Door]] in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' theme may cause [[Weird Mario]] to appear in this form.
 
===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Although it never appeared on the actual show, concept artwork of Tanooki Mario can be seen on the bonus disc of Shout! Factory's ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' DVD set.<ref>{{cite|language=en|timestamp=0:45|url=youtu.be/yV511sRWTv8?t=45|title=''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' DVD - Writers Bible - The Characters - Mario|publisher=YouTube|date=October 28, 2009|author=Japancommercials4U2|accessdate=June 28, 2024}}</ref>
 
===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Tanooki Mario appears in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story "[[Tanooki Suits Me]]." In the comic, Mario is forced to wear the Tanooki Suit due to Luigi accidentally ordering a single tuxedo, and the Tanooki Suit was the only one available at the rental shop. An old man informs Mario that the suit is a genuine one created by Mushroomland's first tailor, [[List of implied characters#Tanooki|Tanooki]], who sewed a tail on the back of every suit he created as his trademark; he also informs Mario that Tanooki's suits possess magical powers and that genuine suits are very rare. Mario transforms himself into Statue Mario by curiously pressing a button on the front of the suit, and it is not until he wishes that he could turn back to normal that he turns back into Tanooki Mario.
 
===''Super Paper Mario''===
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', the [[Sammer Guy]] [[List of Sammer Guys#Cloak of Tanooki|Cloak of Tanooki]] refers to this form, as well as [[Francis]] mentioning that he would like a Tanooki Suit made with real tanooki fur.
 
===''Mario Tennis Open''===
In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', Tanooki Mario is a costume for the player's [[Mii]]. It is unlocked by turning 15 characters into star characters. The racket for this costume costs 1550 coins to buy at the Clubhouse for Miis to be able to use.
 
===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', Tanooki Mario and Fox Luigi costumes are awarded to the Mii upon completion of 50 and 100 Moon Coin challenges, respectively. A golf ball and club set made with the theme of this costume are available as well for the Mii to buy and use.
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''====
Tanooki Mario reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'' as a second downloadable alternate color scheme for Mario. Tanooki Mario has an exclusive item, which appears to function similarly to the Super Leaf from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.
 
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:Tanooki Mario MK8 Biddybuggy.png|thumb|Tanooki Mario, driving at Mario Circuit.]]
{{quote|Tanooki!|Tanooki Mario|Mario Kart 8}}
Tanooki Mario makes his mainline ''Mario Kart'' series debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', where he appears as a character separate from Mario, available in the first downloadable content pack, [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']]. Tanooki Mario has a different set of animations and quotes from Mario, as well as having different vehicle colors (for instance, the [[Sport Bike]] he rides has the orange/yellow coloration rather than Mario's red and blue one). Tanooki Mario's signature vehicle is the [[Tanooki Kart]].
 
Although Tanooki Mario is a middleweight character like Mario, he has slightly more acceleration at the cost of his weight stat; a trait that he shares with the male [[Villager]]. Tanooki Mario's anti-gravity-specific trick animation involves him briefly turning into [[Statue Mario]]. One of his trick animations is a reference to one of Raccoon Mario's artworks from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and, if he is on a [[bike]] or an [[ATV]], one of his trick animations replicates his ability to fall slowly. Also, the sound his horn makes is [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]]'s spinning sound from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
 
Tanooki Mario is the staff ghost for [[Ice Ice Outpost]].
 
Tanooki Mario uses various voice clips taken from other games, with several voice file prefixes seemingly indicating the source game. Reused voice clips include those from ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''.
 
Like with every character playable in ''Mario Kart 8'', Tanooki Mario appears as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' for the [[Nintendo Switch]]. Unlike the [[Wii U]] game, he is included within the base game and is available from the start. He shares stats with the male Villager as well as the [[Inkling|Inkling Boy]]. As of version 2.2.0, Tanooki Mario won't appear as a CPU character if either Mario or Metal Mario are in the race.
{{br}}
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Tanooki Mario returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' beginning in the [[Autumn Tour (2021)|2021 Autumn Tour]]. Tanooki Rosalina also makes her debut in the ''Mario Kart'' series in the same tour. Their [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special items]] are the [[Super Leaf]], which also debuts in the Autumn Tour. Kitsune Luigi makes his series debut in the [[Animal Tour]], also using the Super Leaf. Starting from the [[Battle Tour]], both Tanooki Mario and Tanooki Rosalina are available in regular tour pipes, including the All-Clear Pipe. Starting with the [[Mario Tour (2023)|2023 Mario Tour]], Tanooki Mario has his own [[Tanooki Mario Cup|self-named cup]].
 
Unlike Tanooki Mario and Kitsune Luigi, Tanooki Rosalina does not have her own separate emblem, instead sharing the same one as her normal counterpart.
 
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
{{quote|Mario, why do you look like a bear? What is this?|Luigi|The Super Mario Bros. Movie}}
[[File:TSMBM Tanooki Mario.png|thumb|Tanooki Mario in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'']]
Tanooki Mario appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', as revealed in the film's second trailer.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|author=Nintendo of America|date=November 29, 2022|url=youtu.be/ohJrpHUoZ10|title=''The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct'' – 11.29.2022 (Second Trailer)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 29, 2022}}</ref>
 
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 [[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.
 
===Other appearances===
In [[Nintendo Monopoly]], Tanooki Mario appears on the artwork of a [[Brick Block]]/[[Coin Block]] card that charges the player $50 for the purchase of a new suit.
 
Tanooki Mario is also a playable Character in ''[[Monopoly Gamer]]''. He is sold separately as a "Power Pack" expansion figure.
 
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Tanooki Mario and Kitsune Luigi appear as playable skins. Chainmail Armor is replaced by the Tanooki Suit.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The sound effect for transforming into Tanooki Mario (and to a greater extent, Raccoon Mario) was taken from ''[[nwiki:The Mysterious Murasame Castle|The Mysterious Murasame Castle]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=World-of-Longplays|date=August 12, 2011|url=youtu.be/xx0Ij2BTZSY?t=122|timestamp=02:02|title=NES Longplay <nowiki>[117]</nowiki> Nazo No Murasamejou|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=May 23, 2024}}</ref> In ''Super Mario 3D Land'', however, the sound and visual effects for becoming this form are the same as the game's other powerups.
*If Mario beats an [[Airship]] in this form, the [[Mushroom King]] will say, "Thank you, kind raccoon. Please tell me your name."
 
*Although it never appeared on the actual show, concept artwork of Tanooki Mario can be seen on the bonus disc of Shout! Factory's ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' DVD set.
==References==
*According to the comic book story "[[Tanooki Suits Me]]", Tanooki Mario's statue transformation is triggered by pressing a button on the front of the suit, and to change back, he has to simply wish he were human again.
<references/>
*In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', there is a [[Sammer Guy]] called [[List of Sammer Guys#Cloak of Tanooki|Cloak of Tanooki]].
 
*In [[Nintendo Monopoly]], Tanooki Mario appears on the artwork of a [[Brick Block]]/[[Coin Block]] card that charges the player $50 for the purchase of a new suit.
{{Mario forms}}
*A glitch in the original NES version allowed Tanooki Mario to become invincible if he entered a [[Goomba's Shoe]] as a statue. He would appear to be a gray Tanooki Mario. This was removed in remakes.
{{SMB3}}
*In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', an [[enemies|enemy]] called [[Tanoomba]] is found on [[Thwomp Mountain]].
{{SM3DL}}
*In a group picture of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', Statue Luigi can be seen, although it is still unknown if Luigi will be in the game.
