[[File:Bookend.png|thumb|left|A Bookend about to attack Mario in ''Super Mario 64'']]
Bookends only appear in the course [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. Bookends possess sharp teeth and disguise themselves as regular books within a bookshelf. They hop out to attack [[Mario]] if he gets close enough. The green books disappear if they hit anything, including Mario. There is 1 room that contains a different type of Bookend. The other type flies quickly from 1 shelf to the other trying to attack Mario. In the DS version both types of Bookends do the same thing to [[Luigi]] and [[Wario]].
Bookends appear only in the course [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. There are two types of Bookends. Members of the first type possess sharp teeth and disguise themselves as regular books within a bookshelf. If [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] gets close enough, they slide out, open their mouths, and charge through the air at him to attack. The green books disappear if they hit anything, including the player character. Attacking them gives the player character a [[Blue Coin]] and destroys the books. Members of the second type are found in only one room, the library, where they are found in infinite numbers. Members of this type are smaller, never open their mouths, and fly quickly from one shelf to the other in order to attack the player character. If the player character inputs the sequence to open the hidden door incorrectly, a Bookend hits him instead. Getting attacked by either type of Bookend results in losing two wedges of [[Health Meter|health]].

If Mario [[jump]]s above the books, the book will disappear and release a [[Blue Coin]]. If Mario is hit by a Bookend, he loses two life points.


===''Mario Party'' series===
===''Mario Party 8''===
Bookends have a few minor appearances in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Bookends appear in [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]], where they hover around in the rooms instead of lunging at players. In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Bookends are enemies in the minigame [[Book Bash]], where they flap at the player character down the corridor as they make their way to [[Kamek]].
Bookends also appear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' in [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]]. They hover around in the rooms instead of lunging at players.
