PREORDER - Super Mario - Tanooki Mario plush

Tanooki Mario comes from the Super Mario universe, where transformations are some of the franchise’s most memorable power-ups. The Tanooki outfit, inspired by the tanuki from Japanese folklore, is tied to platform games where Mario gains a rounder silhouette with ears and a tail, creating a look that’s both cute and instantly recognizable. This official Sanei plush is made of 100% polyester and stands approximately 22 cm tall.

In Super Mario, Tanooki Mario is one of those power-ups that immediately changes how the character reads: the classic plumber becomes an animal-like form with a light, whimsical vibe that fits Nintendo perfectly. It’s also a transformation many collectors love because it represents an iconic “power-up era,” and it translates very well into plush form thanks to its soft shapes. At 22 cm, it’s a comfortable size, great for rounding out a collection of alternate Mario looks alongside items like Cat Peach or Mario Wedding.

Visually, the plush shows Mario sitting in a brown tanooki suit, with a hood featuring two large rounded ears on top. A striped tail is visible at the back, and a lighter belly panel adds contrast on the front. The face keeps the big blue eyes, rounded nose, and black mustache, while the white gloves stand out strongly against the brown outfit. The feet are wide with light beige sole areas, reinforcing a stable, easy-to-place plush that sits nicely on a shelf.
