Tail Bowser

A Tail Bowser is a variant of and homage to Fake Bowser, introduced in Super Mario 3D Land. Rather than being identical clones of Bowser, Tail Bowsers have spiked Tanooki tails. They could still be mistaken for a powered-up form of Bowser due to the game's tail theme. However, they show their true forms once defeated.
Like Fake Bowsers, Tail Bowsers are formed by transforming a standard Koopa Troop enemy, such as a Goomba or Magikoopa. Uniquely, they are powered by a Super Leaf.
In Super Mario 3D Land, Tail Bowsers are fought on special collapsible bridges in castles, and jump and breathe fire. This alludes to the Fake Bowser battles in Super Mario Bros.. Unlike some Fake Bowsers and the real Bowser in that game, they do not throw hammers.
A Tail Bowser later appears in Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Tail Bowsers also appear in some fangames and fan fictions, where they are often conflated with Fake Bowsers.
