Tail Bob-ombs[1] are enemies in Super Mario 3D Land. They are Bob-ombs with raccoon tails that can descend slowly from the sky. Tail Bob-ombs cannot stand upright, and remain sitting down on the ground in the spot they land at and quickly explode. Jumping on or running into these enemies has little effect, and it merely shifts the Bob-omb's position. However, they can be blown up prematurely by throwing a fireball at them as Fire Mario. They can damage Mario (or Luigi) by being near the bros. when they self-destruct. Tail Bob-ombs behave in a similar way to Para-bombs in previous games. Tail Bob-ombs appear in World 7-4, Special 7-3, and Special 8-Crown.
