The Statue form is also the only way to destroy [[Roto-disc]]s and [[Burner|Rocket Engine]] flames. Statue Mario sinks rapidly underwater, and can even oppose some pipes' upward currents. This allows Mario to stomp [[Lava Lotus]]es, [[Blooper|Bloober]]s and fish enemies underwater. [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] is the only fish that Mario cannot stomp on, and the only enemy that can defeat him in that form by eating him. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', [[tornado]]es can turn Statue Mario back into Tanooki Mario on contact. He can still turn into the statue while in the tornado, but it does not free him nor have any desirable effect. Statue Mario also automatically reverts to Tanooki form after five seconds.

''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' adds new utilities to this form: it can reveal [[Vanishing Block]]s and break [[Gray Brick Block]]s. Additionally, [[Luigi]]'s Statue form is taller, matching his normal height, rather than Mario's in this version.

Mario cannot transform on the ground, as the statue transformation replaces the [[Ground Pound]]; he can pound in raised [[stump]]s with only one pound, as opposed to needing two ground pounds with other forms. The longer {{button|3ds|L}} or {{button|3ds|R}} is held, the longer the brothers stay in Statue form. When Statue Mario shakes about twelve seconds after landing, he reverts to Tanooki form. The Statue form protects Mario or Luigi from most hazards within levels, except for [[lava]], [[pit]]s, [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], or the [[Time Limit]] running out. Enemies ignore Mario or Luigi while they are in their Statue form. Nearly all types of enemies can be taken out with a statue stomp, and obstacles are destroyed or stopped if they run into Statue Mario or Luigi.

A [[Costume Mario|costume]] takes the form of Statue Mario in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. Mario can wear this costume once he collects its respective [[Mystery Mushroom]]. The Statue Mario costume can be unlocked by clearing the [[Secrets of Statue Mario]] [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|Event Course]], released on March 3, 2016. Mario does not take the form of the statue himself, but carries it instead. Additionally, in ''Super Mario Maker'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', knocking on a [[Warp Door]] in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' theme may cause [[Weird Mushroom (item)|Weird Mario]] to appear in this form.

[[Tanooki Mario]]'s anti-gravity-specific [[Trick|trick]] is briefly transforming into this form before turning back.

Statue Mario appears in ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. They use this form even without the usage of a Tanooki Suit and, unlike in the games, Mario can move and even fight his enemies as a statue. A running gag sees Mario or Luigi using this power-up underwater, sinking to the bottom. In one chapter, Mario and Luigi are turned into stone by a sphinx-like creature with a [[Thwomp]] for a face. However, only Mario resembles the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' statue.

|''Statue Mario is invincible and will be ignored by his enemies. If he transforms in midair, he'll do a nice Thwomp impression but he can't move! Well, unless a moving platform carries him into unlucky enemies. Give it a try in Super Mario 3D Land!''

|''Statue Mario's not just invincible - he's invisible to enemies. If Mario turns into Statue Mario in mid-air, he'll slam down and be stuck to the spot. Moving platforms will still carry him, though, and he'll knock down anyone in his way. Try it next time you play Super Mario 3D Land!''
