Tanooki Suit

A Tanooki Suit.

The Tanooki Suit, also called the Raccoon Suit, is a suit from the Mario series that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3 that turns Mario into Tanooki Mario. It was a more powerful then the common Super Leaf that not only allowed Mario to fly and hit things with his tail, but also to turn into a statue for a short time to escape close calls with enemies. It appears as a small suit that looks like a Tanooki.
