"Battle - Hooktail" is a musical theme in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It plays during the battle against Hooktail.

History[edit]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door marks the first appearance of "Battle - Hooktail." In addition to the fight against Hooktail in Hooktail Castle, it also plays during the battle against Gloomtail in the Palace of Shadow, and Bonetail in the Pit of 100 Trials.

The Nintendo Switch remake of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door introduces three new arrangements of "Battle - Hooktail," each of which play during the aforementioned three fights.

  • "Battle - Hooktail" plays during the battle against Hooktail in Hooktail Castle. This is a faithful arrangement of the original theme.
  • "Battle - Gloomtail" plays during the battle against Gloomtail in the Palace of Shadow. This arrangement is similar to "Battle - Hooktail," but with a greater focus on string and synthetic instruments.
  • "Battle - Bonetail" plays during the battle against Bonetail in the Pit of 100 Trials. This is an orchestral metal arrangement, done with electric instruments and accompanied by vocals from a male choir.

In addition to the above arrangements, each version has a "(Think)" variation that plays while selecting actions during Mario and his partner's turn. These are similar to the normal renditions, but have fewer instruments.

If the Nostalgic Tunes badge is equipped, all variations will be changed to the original version of "Battle - Hookatil" from the Nintendo GameCube version.
