According to the original manual for ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', [[Bowser]] turned the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom into horsetail plants and [[brick]]s. However, the English manual renders this as "field horsehair plants".<ref>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/manuals/#characters-enemies Legends of Localization] comparing the Japanese and North American storylines of ''Super Mario Bros.''</ref> They are presumably the ovoid tree-like plants seen throughout the game (specifically, Worlds [[World 2 (Super Mario Bros.)|2]], [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)|3]], [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros.)|5]], [[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.)|7]], and [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|8]]), which come in two sizes, and depending on the level's palette, can be either green or white (in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', the white ones' appearance is due to snow), with both having a tan segmented stem. These plants are also seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' (specifically, the odd-numbered and -lettered worlds), where they are now segmented themselves and have eyes; additionally, the ones in [[World A-1]] appear in orange (but not in ''All-Stars''). They also appear in several other games borrowing graphics from or basing certain stages on ''Super Mario Bros.''; for example, in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', Horsetails occasionally pop up in the ground theme in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style when placing ground tiles.

As part of the course's "retro" aesthetic, Horsetails appear in the final turn of [[Piranha Plant Slide]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They are replaced with standard trees in the course's reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
