Raccoon Mario

Raccoon Mario is a form of Mario and Luigi first seen in the game Super Mario Bros. 3.

Mario turns into Raccoon Mario after acquiring the Super Leaf. When Mario is in this form, he has the ability to slowly float down when falling, using his tail. Mario can attack enemies with his tail by spinning. He is also able to fly high into the air if he runs for a short time and then jumps. A P-Wing will also transform Mario in Raccoon Mario, but with the added ability to fly indefinitely without the need for a running start. The benefit of a P-Wing will be lost once Raccoon Mario takes damage, transforms into Fire Mario, Frog Mario or Hammer Mario, or clears a level.

A related form is the Tanooki Suit (which it is often mistaken for) in which Mario can not only fly, but he can also turn into Statue Mario. Raccoon Mario was also going to appear in Super Mario World, but the form seems to have been replaced by a similar form. A trophy of Raccoon Mario appears in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Toad and Princess Toadstool can also transform into Raccoon Toad and Raccoon Toadstool (respectively) using Super Leaves. In the episode "Super Koopa", Bowser uses the Power Pendant to become Raccoon Koopa. On several occasions, the form is referred to as Raccoon Power.

Mario briefly transforms into Raccoon Mario once in the Nintendo Comics System, in the story "It's Always Fair Weather" (which takes place before the events of Super Mario Bros. 3). Mario gains the ability by using a piece of a plant labeled as "Magic Leaf Raccoonias" for a toothpick and then uses his newfound ability to save some hot-air balloonists trapped in a cyclone that Bowser creates.

In the Club Nintendo comic "Marios Rückkehr," Mario turns into Raccoon Mario by just using a Trampoline instead of a Super Leaf.

In Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Leaves cause Mario to grow raccoon ears and a tail. By sprinting and rapidly wagging the tail, Mario gains the ability to fly for short periods. Like the Cape in Super Mario World, the tail also reduces the speed at which he falls, making midair moves easier. Needless to say, real raccoons are jealous.
