Talk:Tanooki Mario

Shouldn't this be merged with Tanooki Suit since it has the same topic?
 * Well, Tanooki Suit is to Tanooki Mario like Cape Feather is to Cape Mario, right? I don't think it should be merged. 06:41, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * For each Mario form there are two articles, one for the transformation and one for the power-up used. As Time Q said, it shouldn't be merged. --Xeze 11:19, 4 August 2008 (EDT)

Yep, is the same thing and I think make a redirection from Tanooki Mario to Tanooki Suit.


 * But for almost every transformation, there is also an article on the power-up if there is one. --Grandy02 15:26, 20 November 2008 (EST)

They should be merged emmidiately!! User:ppi80/sig
 * Why so? I don't think so. 16:33, 6 March 2009 (EST)
 * Per Time Q. - Paperphailurethemariomonster99
 * Agree, it shouldn't be merged. One article is for the power-up, the other one for the transformation. The same goes for Super Leaf/Raccoon Mario, Wing Cap/Wing Mario, Boo Mushroom/Boo Mario and so on. Hasn't that been made clear already? Why are those merging templates there again? --Grandy02 14:50, 14 March 2009 (EDT)

Merge Tanooki Mario to Tanooki Suit
Don't MERGE 1-4

I read them and they say pretty much the same thing so I propose we merge them together.

Proposer: Deadline: 11 February 2010

Merge them

 * 1) Per proposal.

Don't Merge them

 * 1) No. One's an item, another's a form. That's enough reason to keep them separate.
 * 2) - If we merged this, we'd have to follow suit and do the same with all the other power-ups and their corresponding forms. The current standard is fine. If you feel otherwise, I would recommend taking this proposal to the Proposals page, is it affects far too many articles.
 * 3) Like what the users said about the other abilities, ones a form, ones a character. We have Metal Mario split into character and form, and they are working better than before. They don't need to be merged!!!
 * Per all.

How do i get pictures on to this? i have great pics of tanooki mario but i can't figure out how.

Use Special:Upload in a week.

Dude- I found out there is a picture of statue luigi in the 2nd group art pic!

You mean this?

Ya--That..is awsome. I have sprites of penguin suit, propeller mushroom & a P-wing

So, this belongs on the forums

Super Leaf?
Why on earth is Tanooki Mario gonna come out from Racoon Mario's Super Leaf? As Apu would say: It makes no sense! --CoolTom1337 04:54, 17 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Because Nintendo made it that way. 08:40, 5 November 2011 (EDT)
 * Because, Mr. Miyamoto once mentioned Japanese legend has it that if you put a leaf on a raccoon, it transforms.--Thejfh1999 17:12, 28 November 2011 (EST)

Split Tanooki Mario and Statue Mario
SPLIT 23-0

In Super Mario 3D Land Statue Mario is a completely different form. It is obtained by a different Powerup, it has a different effect and the form looks different. The Statue ability from Super Mario Bros 3. was a part of Tanooki Mario's ability. In Super Mario 3D Land Nintendo turned it into a completely different powerup. It needs to be split! Oh, and this is my first proposal so tell me if I did something wrong ;)

 * 1) Per my proposal.
 * 2) Different form caused by different items per proposal
 * 3) Solely on virtue of the fact that it is a separate power-up in SM3DL, otherwise they would probably stay split.
 * 4) Yes, very yes. Per all y'all.
 * 5) Per Bop1996.
 * 6) There are 2 different power ups that turns Mario into those forms (even if they are very similar) Per all.
 * 7) — Per all.
 * 8) Why should separate power-ups be combined in one article? This should definitely be Split.
 * 9) Per RandomYoshi.
 * 10) But how 'bout saying "...It started out as an ability of Tanooki Mario in Super Mario Bros. 3, but became an independent power-up in Super Mario 3D Land..." or something like that...
 * 11) Per All.
 * 12) Although they are the same item results, they're different forms. So, split it is better.
 * 13) Per all.
 * 14) Even tho u still get tanooki abilities, the appearence is different(Mario gets a scarf) and he has a different ability. If we keep this, we'll have to merge ice mario with penguin mario because they both shoot ice balls as an example.
 * 15) Yep, it's true.
 * 16) Per all.
 * 17) No one opposed .......yet!
 * 18) Per all.
 * 19) - Makes sense.
 * 20) - Per Ultra Fuzzy.
 * 21) - Statue Mario has its own item, and is a different power-up.
 * 22) Per all.
 * 23) Per all. Statue Mario has its own item, the Statue Leaf, and there is already an article about it here.

Just to be sure: What happens with the information of Statue Mario linked with Tanooki Mario, will go the article you propose or it will be kept here?

The fact that Tanooki Mario could turn into a statue in Super Mario Bros 3 will be mentioned in the new article as well as this article. User:MarioMaster720

Umm....Since I started the proposal, does that mean that I have to create the new article or can someone else do it? If so, can anyone else create the new article please :) User:MarioMaster720

Split Tanooki Mario and White Tanooki Mario
SPLIT 7-0

Yes, White Tanooki Mario is like a version of Tanooki Mario, but, this form isn't the same. White Tanooki Mario is a look-alike. Also, Mario gets White Tanooki Mario when use an Invincibility Leaf instead of a Super Leaf.

 * 1) - Per my proposal.
 * 2) - I really think that Tanooki Mario and White Tanooki Mario should be split into different articles. Although they are similar, they have different functions, and even the itens that grants Mario these suits are different. White Tanooki Mario also has a separate artwork, and the two suits have enough differences, so, it should be split.
 * 3) Thejfh1999 09:53, 3 December 2011 (EST) - Per all.
 * 4) Per TPY.
 * 5) - Per all
 * 6) White Tanooki Mario is somewhat like Statue Mario. Its a form of Tanooki Mario but has a different function and power. Besides this, it has a different color than reg. Tanooki Mario. Per all
 * 7) Per 16-Volt and ThePremiumYoshi.

SMBX Similarity
The Tanooki Toads and Tanooki Peach so much resemble their forms of the Tanooki Suit powerup from the PC fan game Super Mario Bros. X. I don't think Nintendo is stealing this concept, it was just a common idea.


 * Of course, Nintendo knew about Super Mario Bros. X. Almost every official concepts were based on the fandom of the Mario series, just as White Tanooki Mario and White Raccoon Mario's design are kind of based on Mario's super form from Super Mario Bros. Z. Venus Ice Trap existed in the fandom before New Super Mario Bros. U. But I doubt we'd have to point all of them out on the articles.--Prince Ludwig (talk) 21:18, 21 September 2013 (EDT)

Peach Suit
Should it be stated in the trivia section that tanooki peach from sm3dl is different and more dress-like than in sm3dw where it is titgher? --Poponana2 (talk) 23:08, 2 January 2014 (EST)
 * Better yet, put this information in the Super Mario 3D World section. 13:06, 3 January 2014 (EST)
