Raccoon Mario first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, introducing an innovative gameplay mechanic that completely revolutionized the series. Upon collecting the Super Leaf, Mario dons a raccoon suit, complete with ears and a striped tail. But this transformation isn't merely aesthetic, it grants Mario the extraordinary ability to fly. The moment Mario takes flight, the game takes on a new dimension. Levels become three-dimensional playgrounds for exploration. The sky becomes the limit, literally, as hidden areas and secret items become accessible. A fanart Super Mario progress bar for YouTube with Racoon Mario Running Pixel.
