Super Mario 3D Land has an invincible Tanooki Suit

We heard about the P-Wing block prior to the Super Mario 3D Land previews that emerged a couple of days ago. Now we have a little bit of new information about the feature, along with details on a special Tanooki Suit that provides invincibility.

Joystiq explains:

“If you lose five lives on any given level, the game will give you an invincible Tanooki suit — think of it as having constant Star power while wearing the Tanooki suit. You can still fall to your death, so if you die ten times on a level, a special P Wing block emerges, allowing you to zip right to the end.”
