A '''Tail Bowser'''<ref> | A '''Tail Bowser'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Super Mario 3D Land'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 28 and 76.</ref> is a [[fake Bowser]] powered by a [[Super Leaf]]. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' as bosses. | ||

In ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', much like fake Bowsers from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', Tail Bowsers are fought on bridges at the end of castle levels and attack by breathing giant [[fireball]]s and jumping around the stage, though they do not throw [[hammer]]s. Only two Tail Bowsers appear: one in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}} and the other in {{world-link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}; the latter also swings his spiky [[Raccoon Mario|striped tail]] to attack and destroy columns. Additionally, they are immune to projectiles. In order to defeat a Tail Bowser, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] has to press the switch at the end of the bridge to make it collapse and send him into the [[lava]]. After falling into the lava, Tail Bowsers bounce upwards and show their true forms (a [[Goomba]] in World 1, and a [[Magikoopa]] in World 5) with a [[Super Leaf]] beside the body. | |||

A Tail Bowser appears in | A Tail Bowser appears as a boss in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'', specifically in [[Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular]]. The appearances of the stage and its boss are based off ''Super Mario 3D Land''. It chases the team across a giant collapsing bridge, spitting fireballs at them. The team must hit four buttons at the same time to cause the Tail Bowser to fall into lava, where it turns into a Goomba and a Super Leaf. | ||

While a Tail Bowser never appears physically in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', one appears on a [[Battle Card (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam)|Battle Card]], taking his design from ''Super Mario 3D Land''. | |||
