| | '''Butterflies''' are flying insects that appear in many [[Mario series|''Mario'' games]], though they typically aren't really important. In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', [[Yoshi]] could eat yellow butterflies to get [[coin]]s. Blue Butterflies had [[Blue Coin]]s, and green ones had [[1-Up Mushroom]]s. They usually appear in groups. There are also many creatures that have the similar appearance to a butterfly, such as [[Tippi]] from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' (who is occasionally actually classified as a butterfly, though [[Francis]] once refers to her as a "digibutterfly"). |

| '''Butterflies''' appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] as both ambient and interactable creatures. Various species are based on butterflies, the most recurring of which are [[Flutter]]s.

| ==History==
| |
| ===''Super Mario Bros. Print World''===
| |
| Butterflies first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Print World]]'' as one of the selectable borders.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario'' series===
| | In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', there are a few stages (as well as outside [[Princess Peach's Castle]]) where there are butterflies flying around. When [[Mario]] [[punch]]es one of them, one of two things will happen: The butterfly will either turn into a [[1-Up Mushroom]] or become a large metal ball and chase Mario until it hits him, or hits something in its way. |
| ====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====

| [[File:SM64-Butterflies.png|thumb|left|Mario with two butterflies in ''Super Mario 64'']] | |
| Butterflies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' are seen flying around in a few stages, as well as outside the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]. They appear in groups of three and have two variations: In the first variation, one butterfly turns into a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]] upon being hit by [[Mario]], and the other two do not transform into anything. In the second variation, one butterfly turns into a 1-UP Mushroom, and the other two transform into bombs similar to a [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]] or [[Metal ball|iron ball]] and chase Mario until they hit him or something else. In either situation, the butterflies explode.<ref>{{cite|author=MrRobertZ|date=August 21, 2006|url=youtu.be/jBHOsaD1ivM|title=Super Mario 64 - Convert All Butterflies|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 14, 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=UncommentatedPannen|date=October 26, 2018|url=youtu.be/h8BHEMo-zOM|title=Butterfly Triplets|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=August 31, 2020}}</ref> Exploding butterflies can be found only on [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] and [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. In this game, butterflies are violet with white spots on their wings.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
| | Butterflies also made a small appearance in ''[[Mario Party]]''; they are shown on the [[mini-game]] [[Ground Pound (mini-game)|Ground Pound]]. They later appear in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' in the mini-game [[Butterfly Blitz]]. They have a small but major role; they are worth points when [[characters]] catch them. There are three kinds of butterflies that give players points to win; Yellow Butterflies are worth at least one point, Red Butterflies are worth two points, and Blue Butterflies are worth a whopping three points. |
| Butterflies in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' can be eaten by a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to get different items. Yellow butterflies yield regular [[coin]]s, blue butterflies yield [[Blue Coin]]s, and green butterflies yield 1-Up Mushrooms. In this game, butterflies are usually found fluttering around in groups, and they are rarely by themselves like in ''Super Mario 64''. | |
|
| |
|
| ====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
| | A butterfly also made a very breif appearance in the [[Mario Party 8]] minigame, At The Chomp Wash, when a [[Chain Chomp]] sees it chases it into several buckets of paint. |
| [[File:Butterfly (SMG).png|thumb|A butterfly in a pre-rendered cutscene in ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
| |
| Butterflies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' appear throughout various [[Galaxy|galaxies]], mostly for ambient purposes. However, the player can point the [[Star Pointer]] at butterflies and collect one [[Star Bit]] per butterfly by moving the pointer around while still touching it, but this does not work while Mario or [[Luigi]] is on the [[Comet Observatory]]. If Mario or Luigi sleeps near butterflies, they will sit on Mario's or Luigi's head.

| ====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''==== | | ==See Also== |
| Butterflies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' are shimmering and golden, and they appear on the [[Sky Station Galaxy#Starting Planet|Starting Planet]] in the [[Sky Station Galaxy]] (three also appear on the [[Sky Station Galaxy#Peewee Geo Planet|Peewee Geo Planet]] later in the galaxy), but only while Co-Star Mode is active. The player can use the [[Co-Star Luma]] to [[spin]] the butterflies in the same way as they would any other object. When spun, each butterfly releases three Star Bits, after which they disappear. They also disappear the second that Co-Star Mode is deactivated, though when it is used again, they return. If spun by the Co-Star Luma, they are gone for good. These golden butterflies also appear on the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Earth Planet|Earth Planet]], the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Yoshi Tower Planet|Yoshi Tower Planet]], the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Fossil Planet|Fossil Planet]], the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Solar System Planet|Solar System Planet]], and the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy#Cone Planet|Cone Planet]] in the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]]. A different variety of butterfly also appears on the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy#Stone Mountains Planet|Stone Mountains Planet]] in the [[Fluffy Bluff Galaxy]]. These particular butterflies are purple and are present for decoration only.

| [[File:SMO Lost Kingdom butterfly.jpg|thumb|250px|Mario hunting down the glowing butterfly in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]
| |
| The [[Lost Kingdom]] in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' is home to a large number of multicolored butterflies; they are mostly found in colonies and scatter slightly when Mario invades them. Apart from the ornamental butterflies, there is also a considerably larger, glowing butterfly that holds a [[Power Moon]]. It is always found east from [[Rocky Mountain Summit]], resting on the edge of a narrow cliff jut. It flies away if Mario comes close to it, returning to the same spot after Mario leaves; however, it does not react to being approached by [[Cappy]]. This butterfly is theorized to be an adult [[Tropical Wiggler]].<ref>{{cite|quote=失われた国「ロス島」に生息する不思議な蝶です。一説によると、同じくロス島に生息する「シマハナチャン」の成虫だとも言われているんです。|translation=It's a mysterious butterfly that inhabits the Lost Kingdom "Forgotten Isle".

| | |
| ===''Mario Party 4''===
| |
| Butterflies in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' appear in yellow, red, and blue varieties in the minigame [[Butterfly Blitz]], where they are worth one point, two points, and three points, respectively.
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''===
| |
| Butterflies in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' are yellow and appear sporadically, and if [[clap]]ped, they turn into one [[banana|beat]] each.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', among the yarn bows scattered throughout the course [[Knitty-Knotty Windmill Hill]], there are two that begin flying like butterflies when licked. Shortly afterwards, they attach themselves to a surface; licking them again in this state causes Yoshi to unravel the block of yarn that surface pertains to, revealing items.
| |
| | |
| ===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', there are five colorful butterfly crafts that are made of cut paper with drawn faces and black pipe cleaner antennae in [[Spring Sprung Trail]], which the pink [[Blockafeller]] requests. Their wings are pink, light yellow, light green, and light blue. Some grassland courses also have yellow butterfly crafts used as props by [[Shy Guy]]s hiding behind some cardboard bushes.
| |
| | |
| ===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
| |
| Butterflies appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' as wildlife in the [[Mushroom Forest]]. Some of them appear in their design from ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
