In Nintendo Comics System, the Raccoon Suit appeared in the story "It's Always Fair Weather".Īlthough the Raccoon Leaf was missing from following games, functionally it was very similar to the feather introduced in Super Mario World. 3, Super Leaves are often used by Mario and Luigi to become Raccoon Mario and Raccoon Luigi, the episode "Super Koopa" even has Bowser utilize a Super Leaf to become "Raccoon Koopa".

Additionally, in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. Melee, a trophy of Mario's Raccoon Mario form can be obtained. The third benefit of the raccoon was that it enables the wearer to perform a spinning tail-attack. It also allows for a slower descent by rapidly waving its tail. When worn by Mario or Luigi, the Raccoon Suit grants them the power of flight after a short run to build up momentum. The Raccoon Leaf is the most common power-up exclusive to Super Mario Bros. 3 and have not been usable since except in ports of the game. All three of the suits were exclusive to Super Mario Bros. Three of the power-ups in the game were "suits", and were the rare half of the powerups.
