Fuzzlers[1] are enemies in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. These caterpillar-like creatures appear predominantly in Switchboard Falls.

Fuzzlers always appear on Switchboard tracks, and they roll along the tracks in a set path. Two or more Fuzzlers usually appear in a track network, each one going in a separate direction. When Fuzzlers collide, they start moving in the other direction. They can be defeated only with Invincible Mario, White Tanooki Mario, and Lucky Cat Mario. In the Bowser's Fury mode, Fuzzlers with cat-like ears and tails appear on Mount Magmeow.
