'''Horsetails''' are items from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', which are found in an area of [[Petal Meadows]]. Just before you reach the area with the bridge, coming from the [[Rogueport]] pipe, there is a [[Candy Cane]] that, when hit with a hammer, sinks down and bounces back up. After hitting the cane 10 times, a horsetail comes out. You can receive the horsetail as many times as you'd like, after exiting and re-entering the area.

'''Horsetails''' appear as narratively important plants in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and as a cooking ingredient in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. They have made occasional appearances in contexts alluding to the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', such as the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' or in the background of [[3DS Piranha Plant Slide|Piranha Plant Slide]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.


==History==
Horsetails revive 3 HP. Save one to make [[Healthy Salad]] with a [[Turtley Leaf]], found in the nearby town, [[Petalburg]] (outside Mayor [[Kroop]]'s house).

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 the ovoid tree-like plants seen throughout the game<ref>{{cite|author=Sase, Shinji, [[Howard Phillips]], and Lynn Griffes, editors|title=''[[How to win at Super Mario Bros.]]''|format=U.S. Edition|date=1987|location=Redmond|publisher=Tokuma Shoten, [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]]|isbn=4-19-720003-XC|page=6}}</ref> (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===
Horsetails also in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they restore 7 HP, and cures poison.

====''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''====
[[Category:Items]]
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.

[[Category:Marioverse Food]]
As part of the course's "retro" aesthetic, horsetails appear in the final turn of [[3DS Piranha Plant Slide|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]]'', though they return to the course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''.
