The '''Tanooki Suit''', or '''Tanooki Costume''',<ref>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 58.</ref> is a fairly uncommon item found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and its subsequent remakes in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' that transforms [[Mario]] into [[Tanooki Mario]]. It is based on ''{{wp|bake-danuki}}'', Japanese mythological creatures inspired by {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}s (''tanuki'') who can use leaves to shape-shift and cause chaos. The suit is an add-on to the [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]] that allows Mario or [[Luigi]] to temporarily turn into a [[Statue Mario|statue]] and become immune to enemies and obstacles, in addition to [[fly]]ing and attacking enemies with tail swipes. | |||
According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' entry of the 25th Anniversary ''Super Mario History Booklet'', he was aware that most players outside Japan would be overall confused with the Tanooki Suit and the transformation, but he left it in because he was too excited to remove it.<ref> | According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' entry of the 25th Anniversary ''Super Mario History Booklet'', he was aware that most players outside Japan would be overall confused with the Tanooki Suit and the transformation, but he left it in because he was too excited to remove it.<ref>''Super Mario History Booklet''.
