The '''Tanooki Suit''', or '''Tanooki Costume'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J. ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 58.</ref>, is a fairly uncommon item found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and its subsequent remakes in [[Super Mario All-Stars]] and [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]. It is based on {{wp|tanuki}}s, Japanese creatures who, according to mythology, can use leaves to shape-shift and cause chaos. According to [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' entry of the 25th Anniversary ''Super Mario History Booklet'', he was aware that most players outside Japan would be overall confused with the Tanooki Suit and the transformation, but he left it in regardless, because it was cool and he was too excited to remove it.<ref>''Super Mario History Booklet'', page 13.<br />'''Shigeru Miyamoto:''' The Tanooki Suit turns into [[Statue Mario|a statue]]! Even though I knew it wouldn't make sense to some non-Japanese players...I was so excited about it that I left it in.</ref> | |||
First found in [[Giant Land|World 4]], the suit transforms [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] into [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki Mario or Tanooki Luigi]], respectively. The suit grants the same abilities as the [[Super Leaf]], with the added ability of [[Statue Mario|turning into a statue]] when the player holds {{button|Paddown}} and presses {{button|nes|B}} at the same time. This briefly lets Mario hide from enemies and hazards, or stomp even more of them than he can normally if he transforms above them. Mario retains the [[P-Wing|Magic Wing]]'s infinite flight if he grabs a Tanooki Suit while using one. Also, ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' adds new utilities to this form that are seen in several [[World-e]] levels: its Statue form can reveal [[Vanishing Block]]s (found in [[A Sky-High Adventure]]) and break [[Gray Brick Block]]s (found in A Sky-High Adventure and [[Puzzling Pipe Maze]]). | |||
While Tanooki Mario returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', the [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]] and Tanooki Suit do not. Instead, Super and [[Statue Leaf|Statue Leaves]] turn Mario into Tanooki Mario, though he cannot fly; the latter Leaf mimics the function of the Tanooki Suit, as it grants the Super Leaf's abilities and the Statue ability (via [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]]), but it is available only in the Special Worlds' levels and within Deluxe [[StreetPass Gift]]s. | |||

In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', despite Tanooki Mario's return, the Statue form and Statue Leaf are absent. The [[Lucky Bell]] debuts in its place, acting as the Tanooki Suit/Statue Leaf compared to the also newly introduced [[Super Bell]], as it lets Mario become a [[Lucky Cat Mario|lucky cat statue]] in addition to the latter Bell's abilities. | In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', despite Tanooki Mario's return, the Statue form and Statue Leaf are absent.

While the Tanooki Suit doesn't appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', a [[Shy Guy]] mentions it by saying: "It looks like your upper lip found a Tanooki Suit!" | |||
The Tanooki Suit was prominently featured in a ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story titled "[[Tanooki Suits Me]]"; according to this story, the suit was one of many magical suits made by a tailor named [[List of Implied Characters#Tanooki|Tanooki]], whose trademark was to sew a tail on the back of each one. It is revealed in this comic that Mario turns into a statue by pressing a button on the front of the suit, and changes back by wishing to return to human form. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
