[[File:SM3DL Tail Bowser Goomba Defeated.png|thumb|[[Mario]] defeats a Tail Bowser, revealing his true form.]]
Tail Bowsers are fought on bridges at the end of [[castle]] levels in ''Super Mario 3D Land'', like with fake Bowsers in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' They attack by breathing giant [[fireball]]s and jumping around the stage. The first Tail Bowser is encountered in {{world-link|1|castle|World 1-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}, and the second is in {{world-link|5|castle|World 5-Castle (Super Mario 3D Land)}}; the latter also swings its spiky [[Raccoon Mario|striped tail]] to attack and destroy columns. A Tail Bowser is defeated only when the switch at the end of the bridge is activated, causing the Tail Bowser to collapse into the [[lava]] before bouncing upwards to show its true form (a [[Goomba]] in [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1]] and a [[Magikoopa]] in [[World 5 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 5]]) with a Super Leaf beside the body.
