I am having trouble with level 3-5 (read: I die all the time), and apparently the game decided to help me out, by placing an item box at the beginning of the level with a white and yellow striped Tanooki Leaf in it.

While I appreciate the help, and think I look much better in the white Tanooki suit than I ever did in the brown one, I can't help but wonder...

Are there more than aesthetic differences between the white and regular Tanooki suits? I can't tell (I am still dying a lot, in pretty much the same places, because it doesn't help me with timing my jumps... XD).

  • Worth noting is that by getting the option to use white Tanooki suit, i.e dying more than 5 times in a single level, you disqualify yourself from getting shiny/glittery stars on your profile. Just FYI...

  • @JohnoBoy if I go back later and redo the level with less dying, can I get those stars?

  • @AshleyNunn The stars that appear on your profile become shiny only if you beat the game without a Super/White Tanooki Suit/Leaf appearing (Not dying 5 times in one attempt of a level). Once you see it, there is no way to get shiny stars unless you create a new game.

  • No, once you've seen the white leaf block appear, even if you haven't used it, and saved your game, you're disqualified. I've learned this the hard way...

The White Tanooki suit gives Mario the powers of the Tanooki suit plus invincibility for the whole level.

    Awesome! I probably would've noticed that, had I not fallen down the first jump and died, over and over and over. :(
