Variant of Thwomp

Tail Thwomps[1] are Thwomps in Super Mario 3D Land with a raccoon tail that act very similarly to Grindels and Thwimps. Tail Thwomps can jump about in a wide set area, unlike the regular stationary Thwomps. When they float, it is reminiscent of the way Tanooki Mario floats, complete with the accompanying sound effect. Unlike some Thwomps, Tail Thwomps have a face on only one side, due to the tail on their back, which Mario can bounce off to help reach their top. Tail Thwomps can be defeated if Mario transforms into Statue Mario and either lands on them or has them land on him, like normal Thwomps. Only two Tail Thwomps are ever encountered, both in World 5-1.

In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, one of the Tanoomba and Tashrooba's attacks involves turning into a Thwomp with a Tanooki tail in midair and slamming to the ground.

Names in other languages[edit]

The contemporaneous name for each language is listed first. Subsequent names are listed in chronological order for each language, from oldest to newest, and have the media with which they are associated in the "Notes" column. Names exclusive to localizations of the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia are not prioritized due to concerns about circular reporting, and are only listed first for their respective languages if they are the only ones available.
