The regular costume updates for Super Mario Maker keep right on rolling, with Barbara the Bat and Chitoge Kirisaki being the most recent additions. Though many of you will soon be able to scan in the Wolf Link amiibo, one more classic costume has just been added ahead of the canine hero's appearance.
The new costume is just the statue part of the Tanooki Mario costume, but upon closer inspection, one can see that there's actually a little Mario hiding behind it as he runs. Sure, it's a rather random inclusion, but it's one that's obviously very fitting and even mildly humourous. Check out the footage below:
What do you think? Will you use this costume often? What else would you like to see get added in a future update? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Wow...
Y'know, I'm starting to feel like the costumes in Mario Maker are starting to become the Mii-Outfits in Smash Bros: They both taunt people with stuff they can't have. Also, I'm starting to get sick of these costumes...can we have an actual update now? It's been three months, so they've gotta have something...and I highly doubt that these costumes took three months to make.
Not only are the costumes only cosmetic, but they're only used in the Super Mario Bros. theme anyway! I hardly have any reason to use these. (That being said I do like the E. Gadd one)
@NintendoFan64 the outfits are already in the game from that 1 update they just arnb't letting us instantly unlock them and just give us a way to unlock them till an update rolls out, if they release another update.
@NintendoFan64 Hey, at least they are free.
This looks hilarious (still waiting for Shovel Knight).
@Yellowkoopa The Frog already is a costume.
I'm surprised this didn't get added earlier. Also I agree, more actual updates pls, less costumes.
Can I use this to unlock it?

Did that costume make Mario taller? The other costumes don't, but I saw the statue hit the blocks...
@Lizuka Yes
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm starting to actually hate these costumes now.
Please give us something of substance...please...
For a brief second there I thought that was Aang from Avater
@NintendoFan64 Yeah I agree. Enough with the drip fed costumes! Give us something substantial! (slopes!)
Pretty cool costume! I haven't been on Super Mario Maker much in recent months though.

While we're complaining about Mario Maker content, I want to mention that the Gold Block from NSMB2 would fit all four styles well. It works for the shell hat. Plus, it would give us a reason to remember NSMB2 more fondly.
I think it's time for some more actual DLC for Mario Maker. I've been finding myself completely apathetic to these costumes for a while.
Did they make the giant testicles one massive ball? Don't mean to be crude, but isn't that a defining trait of a tanooki statue?
He's carrying the statue as his run animation. I'm done.
