Fun fact: The tanooki suit was inspired by Racoon Dog Folk Lore, the appearance are similar, and the leaf that makes you tanooki Mario is a reference to when in Japanese a Folk Lore, racoon dogs would put leaves on their heads to bewitch innocent travellers.
Putting leaves on top of their head also give tanuki the ability to shape-shift too. They also regularly turn leaves into money, which they buy things from humans. And after they're gone with their purchase, the money turns back into leaves
Fun fact: When Nintendo release Mario 3D Land, PETA (who stated that they save animals even tho they kill them) got so mad at Nintendo that they made a tanooki Mario game featuring Mario where a tanooki suit covered in blood.
I never understood why the Super Leaf transformed you into Raccoon Mario in Mario 3 and NSMB2, but it turns you into Tanooki Mario in 3D Land and 3D World.
I'm mostly just happy you're labeling them as different, idk why but I get really pissed of when "Proffessional Nintendo fans" call raccoon mario, "Tanooki" and think they're the same thing
Great vid, but one thing that was uncomfortable to hear, was the word Kitsune. The approximate pronunciation is KEET-soo-neh, rather than kit-SOON. Otherwise, informative and entertaining, as per usual.
If we ever get a Switch version of Super Mario 3D World that includes Daisy as a playable character, I hope she'd get a female form of the Kitsune Suit like the Tanooki Suits Peach and Rosalina had.
So it's basically: Leaf = Racoon Mario but he looks like a Tanooki Mario Statue Leaf = Tanooki Mario with a scarf But then, NSMB2 came in and was like "Nah nah nah, we like the original." (so do I)

It’s a shame that the tanooki/raccoon power up was very under utilized during the Mario series its one of my all time favorite power ups
Ikr I love the tanooki and leaf
Gggggbbbbbb
Even though it's technically not a tanooki power up you forgot about the statues that you can capture in super Mario Odyssey.

Honestly, PETA is a not cool at all
The Racoon or Tanooki suit are both super cool power up.

OH GOD WHY (the frog)
Lol
The weegee
Frog: Luigi is certainly more delicious than Mario and Yoshi
One of my favorite items of all time!

Both are a tanuki
I'd just like to say something I just realized
Tanukis are a type of wild dog
Tanuki suit = dog suit
The tanuki suit is the opposite of the cat suit
I'm mostly just happy you're labeling them as different, idk why but I get really pissed of when "Proffessional Nintendo fans" call raccoon mario, "Tanooki" and think they're the same thing
Nothing like being on the way home from work and watching a Dr. Wily analysis vid!
The Tanooki Leaf from Japanese folklore makes you raccoon Mario, while Tanooki Mario can only be received through a suit.
WAT.
I found Luigi in the the frog suit in the beginning! 😀
The frog ate him!?
The tanooki's were super underused. It's kinda sad. They are really cool and powerful.
Finally i was waiting for this :)

Interesting mario raccoon video...i like.
Rat Mario 🐀
Snake Mario 🐍
Bull Mario 🐃
Dragon Mario 🐉
Chicken Mario 🐓
Not First But Early Still Even After An Hour
Which one is better raccoon or tanooki?
(*NOT COUNTING THE P WING*)
Garrett Knautz
Tanooki. You can use temporary invincibility like a dry bones shell, and the Jino statue can kill normally unkillable enemies.
Tanooki
Wow that is the best
It's pronounced "Kit soo NEH". No silent letters. This is because Japanese is a syllable based language, not a letter based one.
PETA:HEY IT’S PETA GET OUT!
Mario:(Flies out of house to escape using the Racon leaf.)
PETA: (Chases with helicopters)
Mario: Mama 🤬
You didn't mention squirrel mario he is a different form of tanooki mario
Why is there red Luigi
kitsoon? -.- eesh.
If we ever get a Switch version of Super Mario 3D World that includes Daisy as a playable character, I hope she'd get a female form of the Kitsune Suit like the Tanooki Suits Peach and Rosalina had.
That would be awesome
He best power up
Request:
Evolution of Bittybugs from Mario
I love Tanooki/Racoon Mario
It was also seen in smash bros as an item
So it's basically: Leaf = Racoon Mario but he looks like a Tanooki Mario
Statue Leaf = Tanooki Mario with a scarf
But then, NSMB2 came in and was like "Nah nah nah, we like the original." (so do I)
What about about super mario 3d world you used the other cat power up to turn into stone
These suits are now in SM3DW
Can you do a evolution of the enemies, characters, and other stuff of the bomerman franchise please?
The weege is in the frog suit 00:51
The tanooki suit is fiber and ITS A COSTUME
Guys in the original the suit was called a bear suit not to Tanooki!!!!! It’s BEAR suit!!
They are seen in mario kart 7, 8, 8 deluxe and super smash bros ultimate
Anyone else find it weird how nsmb2 has the same leaf as 3d world, but the suits look different?
When you get an 8 for math and this happens. YESSSSS!
After this game, Mario became a furry

I tried to watch this video. But the narration made it impossible. Why try to sound like a news reporter from the early 2000’s? Wow. Just wow.

If you go into that part when you go love you I actually found a conflict for not posting
I just realized that the tanooki suit (full body suit) is a fursuit
That's reasonable
Don't worry I'm not a furry
he’s also in mariokart 8 deluxe
Do evolution of bowser
*The super leaf fall on me and soon I have a Raccoon/fox tail and ears*
Ughhh!!!!! *I only blush as I get embarrassed*
