Template:Species-infobox Tail Boos[1] are Boos with Tanooki tails granted by Super Leaves that appear in Super Mario 3D Land. Their tails are white and grey, unlike Tanooki Mario and other Tanooki-tailed enemies, who have brown and beige tails.

Tail Boos first appear in World 4-4. When Mario looks at one to stop it, it will perform a tail whip as it stops. They can only be defeated by Invincible Mario, just like normal Boos. Some of them drop a Super Leaf or a Statue Leaf upon defeat.

Tail Boos reappear as both enemies and usable minions in the Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser mode of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions. Tail Boos are flying troopers, and attack by running into enemies. Their special attack, Spin Cycle, allows them to attack enemies by spinning their tails.

Tail Boos also appear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, where they are allies in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode.[2]
