In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Tanooki Mario can become Statue Mario by holding {{button|Paddown}} and pressing {{button|nes|B}} at the same time. As a statue, Tanooki Mario cannot move, but he cannot be hurt either, and if he uses this ability in the air, he can defeat many enemies, instantly destroying all [[Goomba]]s and enemies with throwable shells (like [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, and [[Spiny|Spinies]]). The statue can also stomp previously unstompable enemies like [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant|Piranhacus Giganticus]]es, [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Spiny Egg]]s, [[Thwomp]]s, [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s, [[Fire Snake|Firesnake]]s, and [[Chain Chomp]]s. | In ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Tanooki Mario can become Statue Mario by holding {{button|Paddown}} and pressing {{button|nes|B}} at the same time.

Statue Mario sinks rapidly underwater, and can even oppose some pipes' upward currents. This allows Mario to stomp [[Lava Lotus]]es, [[Blooper|Bloober]]s and fish enemies underwater. [[Big Cheep Cheep|Boss Bass]] is the only fish that Mario cannot stomp on, and the only enemy that can defeat him in that form by eating him. In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', [[tornado]]es can turn Statue Mario back into Tanooki Mario on contact. He can still turn into the statue while in the tornado, but it does not free him nor have any desirable effect. Statue Mario also automatically reverts to Tanooki form after five seconds. | ||
