Super Mario 3D Land has Boomerang Suit (and 75 new screens)

How'd it take so long for this power to appear?

Super Mario 3D Land has Boomerang Suit (and 75 new screens)

Keep going with these great galleries

Though the Tanooki Suit is getting most of the press for Super Mario 3D Land, as the well-known tail keeps popping up everywhere, the game looks to be a celebration of suit-based power-ups in general, with a recent piece of leaked art confirming a new power will be added to Mario’s arsenal. The info is slim, but we now know Super Mario 3D Land has a Boomerang Mario power-up.

As hard as it is to believe, this is the first time Mario’s had any boomerang moves, unless you count some e-Reader shenanigans with Super Mario Bros 3 on Game Boy Advance. That’s not to say the red-hatted one doesn’t have a rich history of stealing koopa shells, with Mario 3’s Hammer Bros Suit and Shell Mario from New Super Mario Bros. This is looks like a cool addition (though no one knows how it plays), but we wonder if this is the end of new power-ups in 3D Land, or if more secrets await. While you ponder that one, why not look at the 75 new screens for the game we just received?

From the screenshots, i guessing the story is that Bowser takes the Princess and makes a storm from leaves of the tanooki tree. The leaves spread out through out worlds where every enemy can grab one. One leaf remains Also what do the white tanooki leaves do?

Its the Opposite actually, one night, a hard storm blows all the leafs of the tanooki tree everywhere, the next day, peach checks to see what happens then Bowser snatches her. Mario and toads check it out only to find a letter showing an awesome 2D picture of Bowser and peach with a few leafs around them. There's a help system, (If you have enough lives that is before a gameover) lose 5 lives you have an option to use an "invincible Tanooku"(like getting a star) lose 10, you get a P wing that takes you to the goal, optional. Again, you need to have enough lives.
