Fracktail was originally the robotic protector of the [[Pure Heart]], who spent "thousands of years" (it is actually 1,500 years), protecting it from "lawless intruders." When it realizes that Mario is the hero meant to obtain the Pure Heart (after scanning his database, which made its eyes turn into the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Internet]] connection symbol for the [[nwiki:Wii Shop Channel|Wii Shop Channel]]), he was about to just let him pass. However, Count Bleck's minion, [[Dimentio]] blasts it with a spell, and causes it to short-circuit. Fracktail's system is corrupted and it starts speaking nonsense (for example, it says Mario's threat level is "jelly roll 1"), riffs on {{wp|MS-DOS}} and {{wp|Windows 95}}, {{wp|Windows 98}}, and {{wp|Windows Millennium Edition|Windows Me}} error messages, makes a reference to the ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' character [[zeldawiki:Error|Error]] (who stated "I AM ERROR"), and then yells "CTRL ALT DEL" (control, alt, delete). It then attacks Mario. | |||

In order to defeat Fracktail, Mario must flip into 3D and then jump on top of its long back when the robot glides low. Fracktail will first fly into the background and circle around before digging, then flies to the right above the ground, and then flies low. The battle scene will then shift to the back of Fracktail's back as he flies. Players must then pick up a [[Frackle]] crawling around on its back using [[Thoreau]] and throw the Frackle at Fracktail's weak point which is its antenna. After taking three hits, Fracktail will perform an aerial loop. Mario must jump from the tail at the end of the loop back onto the head; failing to do so will result in falling to the ground and having to dodge Fracktail's attacks until the chance to jump onto its back arises again. | In order to defeat Fracktail, Mario must flip into 3D and then jump on top of its long back when the robot glides low.

Fracktail must be hit in its antenna nine times, and upon being defeated, its personality briefly returns to normal. It apologizes for its error in attacking Mario and pleads that he save the world, and then it explodes. | Fracktail must be hit in its antenna nine times, and upon being defeated, its personality briefly returns to normal.
