'''Tail Wheels''' are objects in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Tail Wheels are wooden wheels that appear on top of some platforms, and when spun by a hit with [[Raccoon Mario]]'s tail, they rotate, causing the platform to ascend, allowing the player to reach a new area of the level. They are very similar in design and purpose to [[Cat Wheel]]s from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''.

Tail Wheels[1] are objects in Super Mario 3D Land. These wooden wheels are hidden in Brick Blocks on top of some platforms and can rotate when when tail-whipped by Tanooki Mario, causing the platform to ascend and allowing him to reach a new area. A Tail Wheel is also an object in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, where the skaters in Mario's Figure Skating Spectacular use a Tail Wheel by performing a spin to return to Peach's Castle.

Tail Wheels have been replaced with Cat Wheels since Super Mario 3D World.
