This form's name comes from the ''{{wp|Japanese raccoon dog|tanuki}}'', a type of raccoon dog found in Japan and often depicted in folklore. As of ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', Luigi's version of the form is mostly called '''Kitsune Luigi''', referring to the ''{{wp|kitsune}}''. Additionally, in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Statue Mario resembles {{wp|Kṣitigarbha}}, the protector of travelers and the guardian of souls, who is known as ''Daigan Jizō Bosatsu'' in Japan. | This form's name comes from the ''{{wp|Japanese raccoon dog|tanuki}}'', a type of raccoon dog found in Japan and often depicted in folklore.

Tanooki Mario appears in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'' story "[[Tanooki Suits Me]]." In the comic, Mario is forced to wear the Tanooki Suit due to Luigi accidentally ordering a single tuxedo, and the Tanooki Suit was the only one available at the rental shop. An old man informs Mario that the suit is a genuine one created by Mushroomland's first tailor, [[List of implied characters#Tanooki|Tanooki]], who sewed a tail on the back of every suit he created as his trademark; he also informs Mario that Tanooki's suits possess magical powers and that genuine suits are very rare. Mario transforms himself into Statue Mario by curiously pressing a button on the front of the suit, and it is not until he wishes that he could turn back to normal that he turns back into Tanooki Mario. | |||

When Mario and [[Donkey Kong]] fight off Bowser's forces near the end of the movie, Mario punches a [[? Block]] containing a [[Super Leaf]]. When grabbed, he becomes Tanooki Mario. After fighting a few enemies, Mario flies down and saves Luigi's life. The two hug and Luigi comments on Mario's appearance looking like a bear, causing Mario to twitch his tail in embarrassment. Peach also plays with the fur on Mario's head when they reunite. Later in the scene, Mario uses the [[Tanooki Suit]] to redirect a [[Banzai Bill|Bomber Bill]] homed in on Peach's Castle by using the suit's tail swipe ability to attack its left eye. The Bomber Bill then homes in on Mario, chasing him through the Mushroom Kingdom while he flies through the air with the Tanooki Suit. Mario then leads the Bomber Bill into the green [[Warp Pipe]] from which he entered the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] at the beginning of the film. Donkey Kong thinks the suit is a raccoon and Luigi thinks it is a bear, referencing two common assumptions about it. Excluding the credits to ''Super Mario 3D Land'', this is the first time since ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' where Tanooki Mario can fly. | When Mario and [[Donkey Kong]] fight off Bowser's forces near the end of the movie, Mario punches a [[?

**''If you find a Super Leaf, Mario transforms into Tanooki Mario! His newfound tail works as a weapon and as a propeller to slow his fall. His brother, Luigi, won't turn into a Tanooki, though—he becomes Kitsune Luigi. Wouldn't want to have trouble telling the two apart, would we?'' (American English) | |||
**''When Mario uses a Super Leaf, he grows a tail and turns into Tanooki Mario, a very handy form indeed. Likewise, Luigi turns into Kitsune Luigi. Both of them can swing their tails to attack enemies, or wag their tails to slowly float down after a jump, almost like they're walking on air.'' (British English) | |||
