Raccoon Mario

The Raccoon Mario Bros. are forms of Mario and Luigi first seen in Super Mario Bros. 3. He turns into Raccoon Mario after acquiring the Super Leaf. When Mario is in this form, he has the ability to slowly float down when falling, using his tail. He is also able to fly high into the air if he runs for a short time and then jumps.

A related form is the Tanooki Suit in which Mario can not only fly, but can also turn into Statue Mario.

Trophy Information for Raccoon Mario
In Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Leafs caused Mario to grow raccoon ears and a tail. By sprinting and rapidly wagging the tail, Mario gained the ability to fly for short periods. Like the Cape in Super Mario World, the tail also reduced the speed at which he fell, making midair moves easier. Needless to say, real raccoons were jealous.
