well, this is really too cute for words…I’m doing my best to ignore the fact that tanooki mario is holding a raccoon leaf in his hand, which is hopefully not trying to imply that a leaf turns mario into a tanooki. but either way this mario is too cute for words!

It would be awfully cute if Tanooki Mario was holding a tiny Tanooki.

Actually, its traditional Japanese folklore that Tanukis turn things (generally money and other precious objects they steal…) into leaves to hide from people. And I believe “raccoon Mario” is still a version of a Tanuki, but Americans are unaware of the famed raccoon-dog native to Japan and much of Asia.
Just your [extra]nerdy fact of the day 🙂

sarah, THAT is interesting…I didnt know tanuki actually meant something. come to think of it, I guess the whole leaf thing never made sense…
ok
if you are going to use someone’s art for your content, the least you could do is link the artist.
no, that is not my shop.
