Just a crazy theory, but what if the Tanooki tails are just the start of things really. You encounter Enemies with a tail in early on in the game, but in world 2, you meet up with Goombas that shoot Fireballs and the Fire Bros, and Bowser, while fire balls are nothing new, they actually bounce just like Fire Mario's do. In world 3, there's some enemies underwater that you normally wouldn't find, due to the aid of frog like flippers, and Bowser is swimming in a water castle. World 4 has Kuribo's shoe and Bowser in a Kuribo's shoe, ect. Ect. All the way to world 8? Basically the game's about Bowser's army learning how to use Mario's power-ups.

Just a thought.

EDIT: okay. So it's just Tanookis. Sigh...

Loads of screens showing new things including White Tanooki suit which makes Mario invincible, P-Wing and the story:

Isn't the Starman already in the game? White Tanooki suit seems kind of redunda-MORE TANOOKI TAILS, MORE!

[JezMM]

Is it really confirmed that it's a white tanooki suit and not just one frame of a flashing invincibility effect? Then again it would be odd for them to suddenly drop the Rainbow Mario design for invincibility.

Durr read article before posting Jez.

Nice idea to incorporate them as part of the Super Guide.

So the reason why everyone has a Tanooki tail is revealed. There was a storm and the leaves blew off a tree... :/

[Koopalmier]

So, what does the official website say about the story ? Me no speak Japan.

Includes Part of the Opening Story, Tanooki Suit, Fire Flower, Assist Items, Propeller item, and Controls video.

Enjoy.

I wonder if we'll ever get a platformer Mario with the epic story scale of Galaxy ever again.

[Conando]

I'd hardly call Galaxy's story "Epic".

[Blue Blood]

Honestly can't say this game is looking all that interesting.

[Ekaje]

Seconded. It doesn't look bad, but it feels like just another Mario with nothing particularly special about it.

[speedfreak]

I'd hardly call Galaxy's story "Epic".

I thought the opening and ending scenes in Galaxy were pretty darn epic. A lot more interesting then the opening to this or NSMBW. I guess I don't care too much. I'm getting it either way. I just prefer the feeling the first Galaxy gave off is all.

[Nintendoga]

Two new trailers mixed into one.

I'm really starting to love this game. Definitely a must have for my 3ds.

However, surely there is an explanation for Mario, Goombas, Bulletbills, and Bowser having Tanooki Tails.

Brawl in the Family sums this up quite nicely:

There's a developer interview up on the EU Wii Nintendo Channel with Satoru Iwata and Shigeru Miyamoto. The trailer featured in the second half of the video Nintendoga posted is also on there.

[speedfreak]

New suit!

[Blue Blood]

I love when people just post random info without citing a source.

[Conando]

Yeah, I'd like a source. Don't want to be disappointed if Boomerang Bro Suit isn't really in the game.

[Detective Shadzter]

This time there was no source. The image was just floating around the net for a couple of hours or so. It's just been confirmed to be the real deal, though.

Nintendo: You want Hammer Bros. Suit back?HAHAHA no. We bring you Boomerang Bros. Suit!

From Joystiq!

I consider myself to be a pretty proficient gamer, but Super Mario 3D Land has a pretty interesting feature for those who get stuck. If you lose five lives on any given level, the game will give you an invincible Tanooki suit -- think of it as having constant Star power while wearing the Tanooki suit. You can still fall to your death, so if you die ten times on a level, a special P Wing block emerges, allowing you to zip right to the end.

Which means I won't be seeing either as I play the game. Great to know.

I think this game looks like some good fun. If I had a 3DS, I'd certainly invest in this game.

[JezMM]

As long as the patronisation death counter resets when you reach the checkpoint I'll be happy. Can imagine dying over 5 times on one level but if I die twice before a checkpoint and then three times after I'll feel a little offended when the game offers me the White Tanooki suit, lol.
