I am having trouble with level 3-5 (read: I die all the time), and apparently the game decided to help me out, by placing an item box at the beginning of the level with a white and yellow striped Tanooki Leaf in it.
While I appreciate the help, and think I look much better in the white Tanooki suit than I ever did in the brown one, I can't help but wonder…
Are there more than aesthetic differences between the white and regular Tanooki suits? I can't tell (I am still dying a lot, in pretty much the same places, because it doesn't help me with timing my jumps… XD).

The White Tanooki suit gives Mario the powers of the Tanooki suit plus invincibility for the whole level.
