| | A '''Fuzzy''' is a floating, furry, spore-like creature found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', and is the sole member of the [[Dudim Phreykunoutonthis]] enemy group. When [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] makes contact or eats a Fuzzy, he gets dizzy, and the whole level is affected. While in this state, Yoshi may have a hard time walking and aiming eggs, the music is slowed down and distorted, and it will be especially difficult to understand the map well, as the whole background will flash rainbow colors, move and twist around. Fuzzies always appear in large groups and hover all over the field. Yoshi can avoid the dizzy effects by [[crouch]]ing. |

|
| ==History==
| | They have their own level named after them, "[[Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy]]", which is also the first level to feature them. Fuzzies also appear in "[[GO! GO! MARIO!!]]", "[[Beware The Spinning Logs]]", and "[[Fight Toadies w/ Toadies]]" (the latter being in the [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]]). Their effects there are more hazardous, due to the abundance of abysses in those levels. |

| Fuzzies are enemies in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and its remake. They are always found in groups. Fuzzies first appear in [[Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy]] and return in [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]], [[Beware The Spinning Logs]], and [[Fight Toadies w/ Toadies]], the latter appearing only in the remake. Should a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] touch a Fuzzy, the screen becomes distorted,<ref>{{cite|quote=Touch a floating Fuzzy and it'll definitely put a wrinkle in your reality.|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson|date=1995|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=33}}</ref> showing bright colors as well as a twisted display; this likely references the effects caused by psychedelic drugs such as {{wp|LSD}} or {{wp|psilocybin mushroom}}s. Yoshi fumbles around in this state, also struggling to utilize [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]], and the music becomes distorted. Should a Fuzzy be eaten, it produces a cloud of gas that can defeat enemies behind it.<ref>{{cite|author=MarioBrothBlog|date=June 10, 2021|url=x.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1403032561308295174|title=Video of the effect|publisher=X|accessdate=August 19, 2021}}</ref>
