Trivia
- The Lucky Bell is the only power-up item in Super Mario 3D World to not have a corresponding Stamp.
- The Lucky Bell is similar to the Statue Leaf from Super Mario 3D Land or the Tanooki Suit from Super Mario Bros. 3, turning characters into a statue.
- The statue the characters turn into is reminiscent of the popular Maneki-neko statues in Japan.
- Interestingly, while Mario, Peach, Toad and Rosalina raise their right paw, a gesture used to bring in wealth and good fortune, Luigi is depicted with his left paw up, commonly associated with businesses and owners wanting to bring in customers.
