History[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

In Super Mario Sunshine, the boathouse in Delfino Plaza is run by two Raccoons, a father and his son. Ten Blue Coins can be traded there in exchange for one Shine Sprite. The father accepts Blue Coins only in increments of ten, and if Mario tries to ask for a Shine Sprite for fewer than ten Blue Coins, the father exclaims that he cannot sell the Shine Sprites at such a low price. Additionally, another Raccoon owns a small mudboat rental shop in Noki Bay. According to a sign near the shop, the boats can be rented for 90,000 coins, though after Mario uncorks the waterfall, the owner states that he is allowed to use them for free. There are only three Raccoons, which are one of the least populous species on Isle Delfino.

The Raccoon father's voice clips are provided by Scott Burns.[2]

Minecraft[edit]

In the Super Mario Mash-up in Minecraft, Wandering Traders were redesigned to resemble Raccoons.
