'''Stingbies''' are somewhat recurring [[bee]] enemies introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. In the [[Super Mario (series)|mainline games]], Stingbies idly hover above the ground until a player character enters their proximity, at which point they target them with the damaging {{wp|stinger}} on their face. They fly slowly, but are persistent.

The enemies are roughly the same size as [[Goomba]]s and consist of one striped body segment covered in hair. They have a single pair of black cartoonish legs. The stinger on their face incidentally makes them reminiscent of {{wp|bee fly|bee flies}}, which have a long proboscis. Their English name is a portmanteau of "sting" and "bee," and is pronounced "sting-bee."<ref>When choosing the correct answer on the second question of a ''Super Mario 3D World''-themed [[Minor threats of the Mushroom Kingdom trivia quiz|skill quiz]] on [[Play Nintendo]], a message is displayed saying "''Yep. Sting + Bee = Stingby.''"</ref>
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:Stingby.png|frame|left]]
Stingbies make their debut in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', and are first encountered in [[World 2-4 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 2-4]]. They are common in levels taking place in the sky or over large pits. Stingbies fly at a certain height and cannot move up or down; rather, they patrol the area to find Mario or Luigi. When a Stingby spots [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], they angrily start to slowly chase after them. These enemies can be easily defeated by any form of attack.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:StingbySM3DW.jpg|thumb|Stingbies in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Stingbies are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and [[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury|its port]]. They behave the same as they do in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. Stingbies first appear in [[World 1 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 1]] in the level [[Switch Scramble Circus]] and later appear in [[Conkdor Canyon]] from [[World 2 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 2]], [[Switchboard Falls]] in [[World 3 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 3]], [[Piranha Creeper Creek]] in [[World 4 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 4]], [[Deep Jungle Drift]] in [[World 6 (Super Mario 3D World)|World 6]], and [[Rolling Ride Run]] and [[Honeycomb Starway]] in [[World Star (Super Mario 3D World)|World Star]]. Cat variants appear in [[Lake Lapcat]].

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
While Stingbies themselves do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', mosquito-like variants known as [[Urban Stingby|Urban Stingbies]] do. They can be found in the [[Metro Kingdom]] during the night. When an Urban Stingby sees Mario, it charges at him, disappearing if it hits a wall.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Stingbies are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They can placed in stages in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style only. [[Mega Stingby|Mega Stingbies]] are generated by giving a Stingby a Super Mushroom. Stingbies chase players who are nearby, but can only move horizontally.

===''Mario Kart 7''===
[[File:Honey House.png|thumb|Two Stingbies in ''Mario Kart 7'']]
Stingbies make another appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They serve as enemies in the battle course, [[Honeybee Hive]]. They have a darker color than those in ''Super Mario 3D Land''. They travel in lines through the stage and spin out any fast-moving karts they touch.
{{br|left}}

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Stingbies return with the inclusion of [[Conkdor Canyon]] from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as a bonus stage in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. Here, they behave just as they did in their previous ''Super Mario'' 3D platform game appearances, chasing the protagonist when they spot him. [[Captain Toad]] is able to defeat Stingbies with an airborne stomp or a well-timed [[spin]]. These enemies do not return in the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] versions since the level is not included in them.

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up of ''[[Minecraft]]'', Bees are replaced by Stingbies.

===''Dr. Mario World''===

Stingbies appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as obtainable assistants and are a clear reward bonus for completing the first area of [[World 14 (Dr. Mario World)|World 14]] and [[World 27]]. They also appear in the background of [[World 12 (Dr. Mario World)|World 12]] when an area has been cleared. In stage mode, their effect can only be used in timed stages, as it grants a chance that the timer is increased by 8 seconds, where the chance of activation is 30% at the first level and 80% at the maximum level (8% and 40% respectively prior to version 2.3.0). In versus mode, their effect is to grant a chance to automatically send two rows of viruses to the opponent's field when the stage shrinks to eight rows from the grey [[Empty Block]]s, where it is a 10% chance at the first level and 30% chance at the maximum level.

===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
Stingbies make their ''Paper Mario'' debut in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami variants of them serve as enemies in [[Spring of Jungle Mist]]. Unlike their previous appearances, they can now move up and down, without being held back by a certain height.

===''Super Mario Party Jamboree''===
{{New subject|section=y}}
A [[Mega Stingby]] appears in ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' as a fightable mini-boss in the [[Mega Wiggler's Tree Party]] board. Its boss [[minigame]] is quite similar to that of [[Mega Goomba's Ladder Leap]] from ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' as the players must [[jump]] up the platforms to stomp on its head, scoring a [[point]] in the process.<ref>https://youtu.be/Din4nyglnjU?si=-YYIvBk5rdJd3gxh</ref>
