Fracktail, Super Paper Mario

Fracktail is a boss in the game Super Paper Mario, found in a desert. It has spiral eyes and red skin, and it can burrow into the sand and go underground. It will surprise Mario and shoot out of the ground, and then fly in the air. Fracktail slightly resembles a Chinese dragon.

In order to defeat Fracktail, Mario must jump on top of its long back while the robot flies into the air, then pick up a Frackle crawling around on its back and throw the enemies at the serpent's red orb on its antenna. It will then explode into bones.

Fracktail was originally the robotic protector of the Pure Heart, but Count Bleck's minion Dimentio short-circuited it and it attacked Mario. Upon being defeated, it returns to normal upon its final moments, apologizing for its error and pleading Mario to save the world.

A similar boss featured in the Pit of 100 Trials, Wracktail, looks very similar to Fracktail, despite being a skeleton of it. It is also much more powerful. Both are references to Hooktail, Gloomtail, and Bonetail from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

Tattle: That's Fracktail, the robotic guardian of the Pure Heart. It's quite enormous... Max HP is ??, Attack is 1. It can fly and swoop down with its big open mouth... But I think the antenna-like horn atop its head is its weak spot... I think you're going to need to use Thoreau to hit it...

Trivia

  • When searching for data, its eyes turn into the Internet connection symbol for the Wii Shop Channel.
  • When short-circuiting, the first thing Fracktail says is "I AM ERROR." This is a reference to the famous line spoken by the character Error in the game The Legend of Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
