-The '''Tanooki''' are a race of rather plump raccoon-like canines, found primarily on [[Isle Delfino]]. Though only three are shown, it appears that Tanookis work as vendors for a living and the race itself does not appear to populate Isle Delfino in as large numbers as the other races, such as [[Pianta]]s and [[Noki]]s.
+The '''Raccoons'''<ref>''Super Mario Sunshine'' [[Prima Games|Prima]]'s Official Strategy Guide, page 40.</ref> are a race of plump creatures found on [[Isle Delfino]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Only three ever make an appearance, making the species one of the least populous on the isle.

-In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Boathouse]] in [[Delfino Plaza]] is run by two Tanooki, one older and one younger. Additionally, another Tanooki owns a small rowboat shack in [[Noki Bay]]. According to a sign near the shop, the boats can be rented for 90,000 coins, though the owner states that Mario is allowed to use them for free.
+In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Boathouse]] in [[Delfino Plaza]] is run by two Raccoons, a father and his son. Ten [[Blue Coin]]s can be traded there in exchange for one [[Shine Sprite]]. The father only accepts Blue Coins in increments of ten, and if [[Mario]] tries to ask for a Shine Sprite for less than ten Blue Coins, the father exclaims that he cannot sell the Shine Sprites at such a low price. Additionally, another Tanooki owns a small rowboat shack in [[Noki Bay]]. According to a sign near the shop, the boats can be rented for 90,000 coins, though the owner states that Mario is allowed to use them for free.
