The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
The Tanooki are a race of rather plump raccoon-like creatures, found primarily on Isle Delfino. In Super Mario Bros. 3, one of the many power-ups Mario gains is the Tanooki Suit, and in Super Mario Sunshine the Blue Coin Shop is run by two Tanookis, father and son. Additionally, a Tanooki owns a small rowboat shack in Noki Bay. The boats can be rented for a price of 90,000 coins. However, Mario is allowed to use them for free.
The Tanooki are actually based on a mythical Japanese animal known as the tanuki, which was plump, raccoon-like, and a shape-shifting trickster.
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, there are Goomba enemies, known as Tanoombas. They look half Tanooki, half Goomba. In the sequel, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Tashroobas appeared, which were Shroobified versions of Tanoombas.
A Tanooki named Tom Nook appears in Animal Crossing.
