'''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.
'''Stingbies''' are [[bee]]-like enemies with large eyes, having their stinger located on their face. Their name is pronounced like "sting-bee".<ref>When choosing the correct answer on the second question of a ''Super Mario 3D World''-themed [https://play.nintendo.com/activities/skill-quizzes/minor-mario-enemies-trivia/ skill quiz] on [[Play Nintendo]], a message is displayed saying "''Yep. Sting + Bee = Stingby.''"</ref>
{{br|left}}


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.

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.

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.

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.

==Profiles==
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> Regular Stingbies can also appear in the minigame [[Camera-Ready]], where they can be photographed chasing other non-playable characters.
