This is no different for Toad himself as games like Super Mario 3D Land portrayed him in his very own Tanooki suit (with a red scarf) whenever he has gained the power from a Super Leaf (thus,
becoming Tanooki Toad).
Not exact matches
If he is in his
Tanooki form, this move
becomes the Tail Wag.
The Invincibility Leaf, whose Assist Block only
becomes available if the player has lost five lives in a (skipped) normal world level, turns Mario into White
Tanooki Mario, making him invincible for the level.
In the original version and the SNES remake, on the rare occasion that Mario should be wearing the
Tanooki Suit, entering a Goomba's Shoe allows the normally stationary Statue Mario to
become mobile, while retaining invincibility.
Is this gold thing
becoming as blatant a gimmick as the
Tanooki tails were in Super Mario 3D Land?
