Tail Bullet Bill

A Tail Bullet Bill is a species of Bullet Bill with striped tails that only appears in Super Mario 3D Land.

As with most Bullet Bills, they are fired from Bill Blasters, and fly in the direction they are fired from; unlike normal Bullet Bills, they will briefly slow and do a spin attack with their tails after traveling some distance. After defeating a Tail Bullet Bill, Mario sometimes can obtain a Super Leaf (Statue Leaves in Special World levels).

 * North American Website Bio: "Some Bullet Bills managed to grab a Super Leaf to gain the powers of the Tanooki tail. After launching out of a cannon, they can surprise nearby adventurers by swinging their tails at will."
 * European Website Bio: "These Bullet Bills have grown tails, and can use them to launch a spinning attack on Mario!"
