'''Raccoons'''<ref>Hodgson, David S J, Bryan Stratton, and Stephen Stratton. ''Super Mario Sunshine'' 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 island.


The '''Tanooki''' are a race of rather plump raccoon dog-like creatures, 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 are based on the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}, known in Japanese as the tanuki. The design of Raccoons in ''Super Mario Sunshine'' is inspired by tanuki statues seen across Japan; the sun hat, shirt/coat, tail, and sash are all trademarks of the statues.

During the events of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', the [[Blue Coin Shop]] is run by two Tanooki, one older and one younger. Additionally, a Tanooki owns a small rowboat shack in [[Noki Bay]]. The boats can be rented for a price of 90,000 [[coin]]s. However, [[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 accepts Blue Coins only in increments of ten, and if [[Mario]] tries to ask for a Shine Sprite for fewer than ten Blue Coins, the father exclaims that he cannot sell the Shine Sprites at such a low price. Additionally, another Raccoon owns a small [[mudboat]] rental shop in [[Noki Bay]]. According to a sign near the shop, the boats can be rented for 90,000 coins, though after Mario [[Uncork the Waterfall|uncorks the waterfall]], the owner states that he is allowed to use them for free.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Mario and [[Luigi]] encountered the [[Tanoomba]]s, a race of Tanooki-Goomba hybrids. In the game's sequel, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', [[Shroob|Shroob-like]] versions of the Tanoombas appeared. These creatures were named [[Tashrooba]]s. Tanoombas also reappeared in Partners in Time. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', one of the names that can be gotten from pressing the "RANDOM NAME" button is '''TNUKI''', a reference to the Tanookis.

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', the character [[Francis]] mentions that he would like a [[Tanooki Suit]] made with real Tanooki fur.

In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', [[minecraftwiki:Wandering Trader|Wandering Trader]]s were redesigned to resemble Raccoons.

==Trivia==
==References==
*The Tanooki are actually based on an animal known in Japanese as the "[[Wikipedia:Tanuki|Tanuki]]", or in English as the "[[Wikipedia:Japanese Raccoon Dog|Japanese Raccoon Dog]]." It is often said to be a shape-shifting trickster in Japanese folklore.
