History[edit]
Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]
- “A tail that repels attacks that come flying right at you. You've got to swing that tail with good timing, though!”
- —Sticker Museum plaque, Paper Mario: Sticker Star
Tails first appear as stickers in Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Regular tails can be purchased for 20 coins at Outlook Point, while Shiny Tails cost 40 coins. Notably, Shiny Tails can only be purchased after clearing Whitecap Beach and obtaining the third Royal Sticker. Lots of regular Tails can also be found in Bowser Jr.'s Flotilla, and Shiny Tails can occasionally be earned by defeating Rocky Wrenches. Here, rather than being used to attack enemies in battle, they are used for counterattacking and must be equipped during Mario's turn. While it is equipped, it can be swung with A to damage enemies that attack from the side and interrupt their attack, but it cannot strike enemies that attack from above. The attack is overall similar to the Superguard in both timing and function. It can be placed in the Sticker Museum as #60.
Mario is required to bring either a Tail, Shiny Tail, or some type of baseball bat to the final battle with Bowser, as he is required to deflect the Chain Chomp during the fight's fourth phase.

- “Counters enemy attacks with a swipe of the tail. Lasts until you take damage.”
- —In-game description, Paper Mario: Color Splash
Tails reappear as a type of Battle Card in Paper Mario: Color Splash. They now turn Mario into Raccoon Mario in between turns, and they can last multiple turns until he takes damage. There is no Shiny variant, but it does more damage than the standard Tail did in Sticker Star. Tails first appear in Fort Cobalt and can be bought for 80 coins afterwards. Tails are needed to defeat Ludwig, as Mario must equip one and counter the cannonballs launched by his Super Ludship to damage and destroy the ship.
Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Mario is able to use one to swing at a 2×2 enemy formation to inflict damage. They can be purchased for 240 coins at Shogun Studios. Later on, they can be purchased at Toad Town for 360 coins.
