They are living book creatures with sharp teeth that disguise themselves as regular books within a bookshelf. Their name is derived from {{iw|wikipedia|bookend|a word}} referring to a shelving accessory used to keep a row of books upright. If a Bookend is nearby, it slides out, opens its mouth, and charges at the player character to attack.<ref name=sm64>{{cite|url=youtu.be/PfRU3t9YWNY?feature=shared&t=174|timestamp=02:54|title=''Super Mario 64'' - Big Boos Haunt - 100 Coins - 42/120|author=MrGamingZone|date=September 10, 2011|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> Attacking a Bookend destroys it and releases a [[Blue Coin]].<ref name=sm64/> If a Bookend hurts the player character, the latter loses two wedges of [[Health Meter|health]].

| The only other appearance of Bookends is in two games of the ''{{id|MP|series}}'' series: {{a|MP8|l}}, where they hover around the rooms of [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]], and {{a|MPDS|l}}, where "flying books"<ref>{{cite|quote=Flying books and sliding bookcases will keep you on your toes.|author=[[Book Bash]] instructions|date=2007|title={{a|MPDS|l}}|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> fly at the player character on their way to [[Kamek]] during the minigame [[Book Bash]], attempting to hinder them.

| Big Boo's Haunt side image SMKun.png|''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' | | 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]]. |

| | |
| | 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. |

| | Bookends also appear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'' in [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]]. They hover around in the rooms instead of lunging at players. |
