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. After fighting a few enemies, Mario flies down and saves Luigi's life. The two hug and Luigi comments on Mario's appearance looking like a bear, causing Mario to twitch his tail in embarrassment. Peach also plays with the fur on Mario's head when they reunite. 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.

**''When Mario uses a Super Leaf, he grows a tail and turns into Tanooki Mario, a very handy form indeed. Likewise, Luigi turns into Kitsune Luigi. Both of them can swing their tails to attack enemies, or wag their tails to slowly float down after a jump, almost like they're walking on air.'' (British English)
