History
Super Mario series
Super Mario 3D Land
![](https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/thumb/9/98/SM3DL_4-1.png/180px-SM3DL_4-1.png)
Para-Biddybuds make their first appearance in Super Mario 3D Land, where they are found in groups and fly in circles or in lines. Some groups are seen one above the other or one after the other. Mario can defeat them with any attack, just like Goombas. They generally appear in groups of five, though there are some levels in which less than that number are shown together or they appear individually.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

Para-Biddybuds reappear in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They act the same as they do in Super Mario 3D Land, appearing in groups that roam in a set pattern. Cat variants appear in Lake Lapcat.
Super Mario Maker
While Para-Biddybuds do not physically appear as enemies in Super Mario Maker, they appear on the icon of the Event Course Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which uses key art from the game on which it is based.
Mario Party: Island Tour
Many Para-Biddybuds populate the Star-Crossed Skyway board in Mario Party: Island Tour. However, they do not affect gameplay. A pink one also appears as a tile in the minigame Match Faker.
Mario Kart series

Despite Para-Biddybuds themselves not appearing in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a kart designed after a Para-Biddybud appears, known as the Biddybuggy. Said kart later reappears in Mario Kart Tour. It has five different color schemes depending on the character driving it, two of which appear in Tour. The Biddybuggy appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
A Para-Biddybud Mii Racing Suit appears in Mario Kart Tour starting in the 2023 Doctor Tour.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Para-Biddybuds appear in certain stages in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports, such as Drop-Road Dash. They can be defeated by having turnips thrown at them, or carefully landing on their heads.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey
Para-Biddybuds appear in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey, appearing as usable troops, thus marking their Mario & Luigi series debut. Red, green, yellow, and blue color variants can be used, and each has a different Special. Despite their coloration, blue Para-Biddybuds are referred to as purple in this game. They are flying troopers, and red Para-Biddybuds are strong against Fawfulcopters, while the purple variants are strong against Shy Guys and Bandits. All four variants are weak against red Koopa Troopas and Fly Guys, however.
