Raccoons[1] are a race of plump creatures found on Isle Delfino in Super Mario Sunshine. Only three ever make an appearance, making the species one of the least populous on the island.

The Raccoons are based on the Japanese raccoon dog, known in Japanese as the tanuki. The design of Raccoons in Super Mario Sunshine is inspired by tanuki statues seen across Japan; the sun hat, shirt/coat, tail, and sash are all trademarks of the statues.

History[edit]

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

The Raccoons inside the boathouse

In Super Mario Sunshine, the boathouse in Delfino Plaza is run by two Raccoons, a father and his son. Ten Blue Coins can be traded there in exchange for one Shine Sprite. The father accepts Blue Coins only in increments of ten, and if Mario tries to ask for a Shine Sprite for fewer than ten Blue Coins, the father exclaims that he cannot sell the Shine Sprites at such a low price. Additionally, another Raccoon owns a small mudboat rental shop in Noki Bay. According to a sign near the shop, the boats can be rented for 90,000 coins, though after Mario uncorks the waterfall, the owner states that he is allowed to use them for free.
