History

Super Mario 3D Land

Tail Boos first appear in Super Mario 3D Land in the level World 4-4.They follow the player and when the player looks at one to stop it, it will perform a tail whip as it stops. They can only be defeated from invincibility granted from either a Super Star or a Invincibility Leaf, just like normal Boos. Certain Tail Boos drop either a Super Leaf or a Statue Leaf upon defeat.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions

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.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey

Tail Boos reappear in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, where they are allies and enemies in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode.[2] They return as flying troopers, and they use Spin Cycle again. They are weak against Ninjis.
