Tanooki Mario

Tanooki Mario is a recurring power-up form in the Mario franchise. It debuts in Super Mario Bros. 3, where it is obtained from the Tanooki Suit. It reappears in Super Mario 3D Land, where it is instead granted by the Super Leaf. From this game onwards, Luigi becomes Kitsune Luigi, but retains the same abilities as other characters in Tanooki form.
Some enemies use similar forms to Tanooki Mario, such as the Tanoomba, a variant of the Goomba.
==Ability==
This unique suit allows Mario to fly, falling down slowly and the ability to whack things, all three with his tail, just like Raccoon Mario with the Super Leaf. The Tanooki Suit also adds the ability to turn into a statue and escape enemies for a limit of time before turning back into Tanooki Mario. When turning into a Statue in the air, it falls down and does similar like a Thwomp. In Super Mario 3D Land, Luigi's tanooki form is actually a kitsune version. His suit is honey-colored and resembles to a fox rather than a raccoon.
