Tailies are enemies appearing in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. They are green pitcher plant-like enemies that hang from the ceiling with vines attached. The player is able to pull these vines downwards and gain momentum to swing forward, which will defeat the enemy. They also periodically release Spike Balls. Yoshis can swallow these Spike Balls and spit them back out at Tailies or at other enemies.
During the Wonder Effect quiz in Taily's Toxic Pond, for every question, there are three different colored Tailies present, one for each answer, and the player needs to pull on the corresponding colored vine to answer correctly. If three questions are answered right, the player is rewarded a Wonder Seed.
Their internal name suggests they were originally conceptualized as monkeys before being redesigned into their current pitcher plant-like appearance.
