Description This was the first picture I did for the Super Mario Monster Compendium, and it also helped to get me the staff artist position (along with another picture which'll come up later).

A Tanoomba is a cross between Goomba and Tanuki (a legendary Japanese creature also known as a Racoon Dog), and they first appear in Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga. They mainly attack with their large tails, but can also attack by turning into either one of the Bros (Tanukis have the power to transform into stuff), and attacking the opposite one. In M&L Partners in Time they return, even more powerful than before, with stronger transformations such as thwomps and spiney turtles.

You don't have to be. Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is being re released under player's choice (they just started doing GBA players choice) for $19.99. Not much of a price drop, I know, but I can highly reccomend it . The stratagey is really intense, even for an RPG! You can plausibly go through the entire game without getting hit once.... if you're extra super good, that is, and have a certain degree of laten psychic abilities.

Sweet. But still... once I get my apartment in the summer I must bring my old NES systems and go on a Mario spree ^^.

I was going to say "What the Hell is this?" then I read the description... The last Mario game I played was SM64. Again, nice drawing and coloroing and all that jazz.
