'''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 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.

[[File:Blue Coin Shop.png|thumb|left|The Raccoons inside the boathouse]]
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 Raccoon 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 after Mario [[Uncork the Waterfall|uncorks the waterfall]], the owner states that he is allowed to use them for free.

==Trivia==
*The race is actually based on an animal known in Japanese as tanuki, or in English as the [[Wikipedia:Japanese raccoon dog|Japanese raccoon dog]]. The design of Raccoons from ''Super Mario Sunshine'' is also modeled after the tanuki statues all across Japan; the sun hat, shirt/coat, tail, and sash are all trademarks of the statues.
*In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', the Wandering Trader is replaced by Raccoon.
