'''{{wp|Equisetum|Horsetails}}''' are a cooking ingredient in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', which additionally appear as background objects with minor plot importance in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
==History==
===''Super Mario Bros.'' / ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''===
[[File:SMB NES 2-1 Level Screenshot.png|thumb|Mario near two "horsehair plants" in [[World 2-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-1]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'']]
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>[https://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.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', Horsetails are items that heal 3 [[Heart Point|HP]]. They are found in an area of [[Petal Meadows]]. Just before reaching the area with the bridge, coming from the [[Rogueport]] pipe, there is a [[Candy Pop]] that, when hit with a [[hammer]], sinks down and bounces back up. After hitting the cane 10 times, a Horsetail comes out. This can be done several times, after exiting and re-entering the area.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''Super Paper Mario'', Horsetails are items that restore 7 HP and cures [[Poison (status effect)|poison]]. They are usually dropped by [[Putrid Piranha]]s. They can also be bought in the [[Itty Bits]] in [[The Dotwood Tree]] for 18 [[coin]]s.

===Other appearances===
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]]''.
