Tail Bowser: Difference between revisions

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', much like fake Bowsers from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Tail Bowsers are fought on bridges at the end of castle levels and attack by breathing giant [[fireball]]s and jumping around the stage, though they do not throw [[hammer]]s. Only two Tail Bowsers appear: one in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}} and the other in {{world-link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}; the latter also swings his spiky [[Raccoon Mario|striped tail]] to attack and destroy columns. Additionally, they are immune to projectiles. In order to defeat a Tail Bowser, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] has to press the switch at the end of the bridge to make it collapse and send him into the [[lava]]. After falling into the lava, Tail Bowsers bounce upwards and show their true forms (a [[Goomba]] in World 1, and a [[Magikoopa]] in World 5) with a [[Super Leaf]] beside the body.

While a Tail Bowser never appears physically in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', one appears on a [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]], taking his design from ''Super Mario 3D Land''.
