White Tanooki Mario

White Tanooki Mario is an white lucent version of Tanooki Mario in Super Mario 3D Land.

When Mario loses five lives in a level, an Assist Block containing an Invincibility Leaf will appear. The block emits a tone to alert the player of its presence. If Mario takes the Invincibility Leaf, he will become White Tanooki Mario, clad in a shining, white and golden version of the Tanooki Suit. In this form, Mario is permanently invincible until he clears the level; after that, he reverts to the regular Tanooki Mario. Unlike in his invincible form, Mario cannot earn lives by defeating enemies. Luigi can become a White Tanooki also, but only in World 1. Mario cannot obtain this form in levels he has already beaten, or in any of the special worlds.
