—Fracktail, Super Paper Mario

Fracktail is a giant robotic snake-like dragon that is the first world boss in the game Super Paper Mario, found in Yold Desert, at the end of Yold Ruins. It has spiral eyes and magenta skin, and it can burrow into the sand and go underground. It will surprise Mario and appear out of the ground, and then fly in the air. Fracktail slightly resembles a Chinese dragon, and looks similar to Hooktail from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The repeating patterned segments of Fracktail's body, as well as its name are both references to a fractal, a geometric repetition of a pattern. It claims Mario has a Level 5 mustache.

History

Super Paper Mario

Fracktail before the battle
Dimentio electrocutes Fracktail

Fracktail was originally the robotic protector of the Pure Heart, who spent "thousands of years" (it is actually 1,500 years), protecting it from "lawless intruders." When it realizes that Mario is the hero meant to obtain the Pure Heart (after scanning his database, which made its eyes turn into the Internet connection symbol for the Wii Shop Channel), he was about to just let him pass. However, Count Bleck's minion, Dimentio blasts it with a spell, and causes it to short-circuit. Fracktail's system is corrupted and it starts speaking nonsense (for example, it says Mario's threat level is "jelly roll 1"), riffs on MS-DOS and Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me error messages, makes a reference to the The Legend of Zelda character Error (who stated "I AM ERROR"), and then yells "CTRL ALT DEL" (control, alt, delete). It then attacks Mario.

In order to defeat Fracktail, Mario must flip into 3D and then jump on top of its long back when the robot glides low. Fracktail will first fly into the background and circle around before digging, then flies to the right above the ground, and then flies low. The battle scene will then shift to the back of Fracktail's back as he flies. Players must then pick up a Frackle crawling around on its back using Thoreau and throw the Frackle at Fracktail's weak point which is its antenna. After taking three hits, Fracktail will perform an aerial loop. Mario must jump from the tail at the end of the loop back onto the head; failing to do so will result in falling to the ground and having to dodge Fracktail's attacks until the chance to jump onto its back arises again.

Fracktail must be hit in its antenna nine times, and upon being defeated, its personality briefly returns to normal. It apologizes for its error in attacking Mario and pleads that he save the world, and then it explodes.

Fracktail is depicted holding his Pure Heart on the walls of rooms 26-50 in the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials. At the bottom of the location is a stronger boss variation of Fracktail, named Wracktail.

Fracktail's appearance in Super Mario-kun

Fracktail appears in Super Mario-kun in the Super Paper Mario story arc in volume 37, having the same role as in the original game, though it takes a more organic appearance.

Fracktail presents itself as a "god" and Mario is initially scared, until it offers him the Pure Heart after it realizes Mario is the hero of the prophecy. Dimentio arrives and glitches Fracktail, causing it to mercilessly attack Mario. Mario tries everything (such as paper-izing himself and praying to it) but nothing works. After Fracktail destroys Peach's photo, Mario's precious possession, he attacks and defeats Fracktail. Dimentio, who was enjoying the battle, disappears, promising to return. Fracktail (who does not explode like in the game) un-glitches and gives the Pure Heart to Mario, unaware of what happened.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

There is a trophy of Fracktail in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Fracktail is the only boss from the Paper Mario series to have one, excluding Bowser.
