'''Raccoon Mario''' (spelled '''Racoon Mario''' in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' materials) is a form [[Mario]] turns into after acquiring the [[Super Leaf]], and as of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', [[Luigi]]'s form is called '''Fox Luigi'''. First seen in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', this form allows Mario to slowly float down when falling, using his tail. Mario can attack enemies with his tail by [[spin]]ning. He is also able to briefly [[fly]] if he runs for a short time and then jumps. | '''Raccoon Mario''' (spelled '''Racoon Mario''' in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' materials) is a form [[Mario]] turns into after acquiring the [[Super Leaf]], and as of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', [[Luigi]]'s form is called '''Fox Luigi'''.

At first, the inclusion of a | Raccoon Mario was created when [[Takashi Tezuka]] wanted a way for Mario to spin and knock away enemies with a tail. At first, the inclusion of a raccoon-like Mario made him worried, but he wanted this new action to implemented in some way. However, the spin was originally meant for when ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' was still using a bird's-eye view, so adjusting the controls to a side-view was a challenge. Flying was a mechanic Tezuka wanted to add since ''Super Mario Bros.'', and Raccoon Mario ultimately ended up being able to do both.<ref>Sao, Akinori.

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', some enemies are also powered-up with Super Leaves, becoming "Tail" versions of themselves; this matches the original Japanese naming for Raccoon Mario. The game also removes the statue ability from the basic Tanooki form, making it more functionally similar to Raccoon Mario. | A related form is [[Tanooki Mario]], which adds a [[Statue Mario|statue transformation]] to these abilities.

Also, [[White Raccoon Mario]] (the counterpart of [[White Tanooki Mario]] from ''Super Mario 3D Land'') debuts in this game. In addition to this form's abilities, it gives Mario invincibility for the stage, lets him walk on water (like his [[Mini Mario (form)|Mini form]]), and makes the P-Meter charge much faster than normal. Unlike the White Tanooki form, however, the White Raccoon form can be regained by losing five lives in a level, even after the level or final boss is beaten. | Also, [[White Raccoon Mario]] (the counterpart of [[White Tanooki Mario]] from ''Super Mario 3D Land'') debuts in this game.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', the [[Super Leaf]] appears as an item, turning the player who grabs it into the Raccoon form and letting them briefly float by holding the jump button in midair. Like with most other equipable items, the player can lose this form if they are hit enough times or with a strong enough attack; it will also disappear after enough time has passed. This form's tail whip was considered during development, but it was later dropped.<ref>SakuraiMasahiroA (April 30, 2014).

The Raccoon form returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as an effect of the Super Leaf item, functioning the same as previously. In addition, Fox Luigi appears as an Ace-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], granting the fighter easier dodging when used. In the spirit's battle, the player faces Luigi in Raccoon form on the [[Mushroom Kingdom U]] stage. | |||
