Tail Bullet Bills[1] are enemies in Super Mario 3D Land. They are Bullet Bills with striped tails that are launched from Bill Blasters, like with Bullet Bill in general, and fly in the direction they are fired from; unlike normal Bullet Bills, they will briefly slow and do a spin attack with their tails after traveling some distance. A Super Leaf can sometimes be obtained from defeating a Tail Bullet Bill, or Statue Leaves in Special World levels.

Profiles[edit]

  • North American website bio: "Some Bullet Bills managed to grab a Super Leaf to gain the powers of the Tanooki tail. After launching out of a cannon, they can surprise nearby adventurers by swinging their tails at will."
  • European website bio: "These Bullet Bills have grown tails, and can use them to launch a spinning attack on Mario!"
