''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 58.</ref> is a fairly uncommon item found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and its subsequent remakes in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It is based on ''{{wp|bake-danuki}}'', Japanese mythological creatures inspired by {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}s (''tanuki'') who can use leaves to shape-shift and cause chaos. The suit is an add-on to the [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon form]] that allows [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to temporarily turn into a [[Statue Mario|statue]] and become immune to enemies and obstacles, in addition to [[fly]]ing and attacking enemies with tail swipes. | ||
