Trivia
This trivia section is overly long. Please relocate any relevant information into appropriate sections and articles.
- Out of all of the siblings in the "tail" family in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Gloomtail is the only one not to have a Super Paper Mario equivalent.
- The room Sir Grodus is fought in is directly below Gloomtail's room, which would mean that Bowser was in Gloomtail's room when he fell through the floor. In fact, if the player uses cheats or glitches to go to the hidden area behind Gloomtail's room after defeating the Shadow Queen, a large hole can be seen. The hole can be jumped down to enter the aforementioned Grodus room.[1]
- Goombella's tattle when inside Gloomtail's room acts as though Gloomtail is not present, despite the fact that he is always present until the player lowers the floor of the rooms that lead to his room. This implies that Gloomtail's room was intended to be accessible at any time.
- If Mario brings any partner that joined him after defeating Hooktail (outside of Goombella or Koops), they will confuse him for Hooktail, going off on several descriptions Mario told them about offscreen.
