History[edit]
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
Tail Boos are enemies inSuper Mario 3D Land. They are first encountered inWorld 4-4. Tail Boos follow the player and when the player looks at one to stop it, it will perform a tail whip as it stops. Its bio on the North American website for the game erroneously claims that they will swing their tail while pursuing the player. Like regular Boos, Tail Boos can be defeated only from invincibility granted from either aSuper Star or anInvincibility Leaf. Certain Tail Boos drop either a Super Leaf or aStatue Leaf upon defeat.
Mario & Luigi series[edit]
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]
Tail Boos reappear as both enemies and usable minions in theMinion Quest: The Search for Bowser mode ofMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Tail Boos are flying troopers, and attack by running into enemies. Their special attack, Spin Cycle, allows them to attack enemies by spinning their tails.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]
Tail Boos reappear inMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, where they are allies and enemies in theBowser Jr.'s Journey mode. They return as flying troopers, and they use Spin Cycle again. They are weak againstNinjis.
