The Tanooki Suit was prominently featured in a [[Nintendo Comics System]] story titled "[[Tanooki Suits Me]]"; according to this story, the suit was one of many magical suits made by a tailor named [[List of Implied Characters#Tanooki|Tanooki]] whose trademark was to sew a tail on the back of each one. It is revealed in this comic that Mario turns into a statue by pressing a button on the front of the suit, and changes back by wishing to return to human form. | The Tanooki Suit was prominently featured in a [[Nintendo Comics System]] story titled "[[Tanooki Suits Me]]"; according to this story, the suit was one of many magical suits made by a tailor named [[List of Implied Characters#Tanooki|Tanooki]] whose trademark was to sew a tail on the back of each one.

After the release of ''Super Mario 3D Land'', PETA made a website and game to promote their anti-fur campaign ("Mario Kills Tanooki") with regard to the live skinning of raccoon dogs or tanukis. The site implied that ''Super Mario 3D Land'' was promoting the use of animal furs as clothing. This resulted in strong backlash from Nintendo and their fans. | |||
