Tanooki Mario: Difference between revisions

Tanooki Mario appears in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', as revealed in the film's second trailer.<ref>Nintendo of America (November 29, 2022). [https://youtu.be/ohJrpHUoZ10?t=2018 The Super Mario Bros. Movie Direct – 11.29.2022 (Second Trailer)]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved November 29, 2022.</ref> When Mario and Donkey Kong fight off Bowser's forces near the end of the movie, Mario punches a [[? Block]] containing a [[Super Leaf]]. When grabbed, he becomes Tanooki Mario. Later in the scene, Mario uses the [[Tanooki Suit]] to redirect a [[Banzai Bill|Bomber Bill]] homed in on Peach's Castle by using the suit's tail swipe ability to attack its left eye. The Bomber Bill then homes in on Mario, chasing him through the Mushroom Kingdom while he flies through the air with the Tanooki Suit. Mario then leads the Bomber Bill into the green [[Warp Pipe]] from which he entered the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] at the beginning of the film. Donkey Kong thinks the suit is a raccoon and Luigi thinks it is a bear, referencing two common assumptions about it. Excluding the credits to ''Super Mario 3D Land'', this is the first time since ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' where Tanooki Mario can fly.
