| '''Tanooki Mario''' is a form of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' when he obtains a [[Tanooki Suit]]. When they have this form, they will look like [[Tanooki]]s and turn into a Statue Mario, in addition to temporarily flying. It is an improved version of [[Raccoon Mario]]. When Tanooki Mario is Statue Mario, he cannot be hurt and if he becomes Statue Mario in the air, he can slam down like a [[Thwomp]]. This can destroy certain enemies and trigger switches. One setback is that Statue Mario cannot move. He can also temporarily fly when the Speed Gauge is full and [[jump]].

| Tanooki Mario is not to be confused with actual [[Tanooki]]s, who are a [[species]] found only on [[Isle Delfino]].

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *If Mario beats an [[Airship]] in this form, the [[Mushroom King]] will say, "Thank you, kind Raccoon. Please tell me your name."
| |
| *The Tanooki Mario form's name comes from the tanuki, an animal found in Japan who is also very notable for his several appearances in Japanese mythology.
| |
| *[[Miles "Tails" Prower]] of the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' series (who will be playable in ''[[Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'') was initially going to be a tanuki, although Sega decided to can this idea after considering the possible plagiarization-based controversy that could arise over such a character and the earlier Tanooki Mario.
