Template:Diff Template:Form-infobox Statue Mario is a form of Mario or Luigi in Super Mario 3D Land. The form looks and acts just like Tanooki Mario/Tanooki Luigi, but it is obtained by using a Statue Leaf instead of a Super Leaf and Mario will also gain a red scarf while Luigi will gain a green scarf.
History
Super Mario Bros. 3
Although the form itself didn't appear, Tanooki Mario had all the powers of Statue Mario in that game. When Tanooki Mario was 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 Goombas and enemies with throwable shells (Koopas, Buzzy Beetles, and Spinies). It can also stomp previously unstompable enemies like Piranha Plants, Piranhacus Giganticus, Venus Fire Traps, Spiny Eggs, Thwomps, Podoboos, Fire Snakes, and Chain Chomps.
It is also the only way to destroy Roto-Discs 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 Lotuses, Bloopers 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.
Super Mario 3D Land
In this game Statue Mario became a seperate form. It can be obtained by using a Statue Leaf. It acts just like Tanooki Mario from Super Mario Bros. 3. The only difference being that Mario and Luigi will get a red and green scarf respectively in addition to the Tanooki Costume. While Tanooki Mario is used often in the regular worlds, the Super Leaf is never found anywhere in the special worlds. The Statue Leaf on the opposite is found often in the special worlds, but never in the original worlds. That makes Statue Mario the Special World counterpart of Tanooki Mario.

Trivia
- In Super Mario Bros 3, if Mario beats an Airship in this form, the Mushroom King will say, "Thank you, kind raccoon. Please tell me your name."
- According to the comic book story "Tanooki Suits Me", Statue 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.
- In Super Mario 3D Land, it's not possible to fly in Statue form, but during the credits, the Statue Toads appear to be flying.
- Statue Luigi in Super Mario 3D Land has honey color fur and resembles a fox rather than a Tanooki.
