Tail Boo

A Tail Boo is Mario's longtime ghost foe Boo with a Tanooki tail. Its powers were granted to it by the Super Leaves and can additionally attack Mario by swinging its tail like Tanooki Mario. It can be noted that its tail is white and greyish, unlike Mario and other tanooki tailed enemies, which have brown and black tails.

Tail Boos make their debut in World 4-4, where they attack much like Tanooki Mario but also with the Boo's power of flight. When Mario looks at one to stop it, it will perform a tail whip before closing its eyes. They can only be defeated if Mario has touched a Star and runs into them with his invincibility. Some of them give Mario a Super Leaf or a Statue Leaf after defeated.
