'''Fuzzies''', also called '''Fuzzles''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 28|page=15|date=September 1991}}</ref> are small, black-furred creatures with unusual, spiky bodies. They possess two strabismus eyes and large teeth, and are often found on [[track]]s. Despite displaying some level of intelligence and the ability to speak, Fuzzies are, for the most part, erratic creatures. Fuzzies made their debut in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SMW Artwork Fuzzy.png|thumb|left|A Fuzzy, as originally depicted for ''Super Mario World'']]
Fuzzies first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as particularly rare enemies found circling blocks or on [[track]]s. They first appear in the same level where [[ON/OFF Switch]]es first appear, [[Donut Plains 3]]. Fuzzies do not directly attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and only do damage if their paths happen to intersect. The ones circling around blocks can be defeated, either by [[Yoshi]] or by tossing (or kicking) a [[Koopa Shell]] at them. [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] can also use his Body Press against them. Fuzzies are among the few enemies not shown during the game's end credits.


'''Fuzzies''', also called '''Fuzzles''',<ref>''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 28, p. 15</ref> are small, black, furred parasitic creatures, capable of sucking away enemies' [[Heart Point|health]]s with a bite, possessing two strabismus eyes and large teeth; despite displaying some level of intelligence and the ability to speak, Fuzzies are, for the most part, wild and uncivilized beings. Fuzzies have the ability to secrete webbing-like strands from their bodies, though this ability has largely been phased out in modern times.

Although absent from the first ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Fuzzies, along with bigger versions called [[Big Fuzzy|Big Fuzzies]], neither of which were named in the Prima Games guidebook, reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' where they are found in Worlds 7 and 9. They act the same way as they did in ''Super Mario World''. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'' though, they can be defeated by being frozen and shattering the block of ice they are trapped in or blasting them with [[fireball]]s as [[Fire Mario]]. Fuzzies can also be found on tracks and are mostly in sky levels. They appear in [[World 7-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-3]], [[World 9-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-5]], and [[World 9-8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-8]]. They are usually found in big groups, and they also do flips when they jump from one wire onto another. They make a zing noise whenever they jump off wires.

==History==
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
===''Super Mario'' series===
[[File:Fuzzy Artwork - Super Mario Galaxy 2.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
====''Super Mario World====
Fuzzies appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', marking their first appearance in a 3D ''Super Mario'' title. They first appear in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], moving up and down the orange poles that Mario or Luigi can climb. Fuzzies are also found in the [[Flipsville Galaxy]], where they can be defeated with a [[Spin Drill]]. They look very similar to how they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', though they leave behind black smoke clouds as they move.
[[Image:FuzziesSMW.png|thumb|right|128px|Two Fuzzies from ''Super Mario World''.]]
 
Fuzzies first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as particularly rare enemies that can't die; found circling the wire-like constructs floating in midair or blocks. Fuzzies would not directly attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and would only hit them if they got in their way. Only the ones circling around blocks could be eaten by [[Yoshi]].
====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
Fuzzies later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Mario must avoid them on tightropes in this game. They are invincible unless Mario (or Luigi) touches them while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]].
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Fuzzies appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', acting the same way as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They can be defeated by shooting them with a [[fireball]], using a [[Super Star|Star]], using a [[Super Leaf]] tail whack, or using a [[Gold Flower]]. They appear in [[World 2-A (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 2-A]] and [[World 4-C]], the latter of which marking their first appearance underground in the ''Super Mario'' series.


====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii====
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:3D Fuzzy.png|thumb|right|A Fuzzy from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
Fuzzies, along with their larger cousins, return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', acting the same as they did previously. They first appear in [[Fuzzy Clifftop]] of [[Rock-Candy Mines]].
[[File:Fuzzy giant.png|thumb|left|A '''Mega Fuzzy'''.]]
Fuzzies, along with bigger versions called Mega Fuzzies, reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' where they are found in Worlds 7 and 9. They act the same way as they did in ''Super Mario World''.

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:FuzzyGalaxy2.png|thumb|120px|A Fuzzy in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
Fuzzies reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. In this game, they have the ability to move without the aid of a track or pole. They are generally found in [[Shadow-Play Alley]] and moving through and around [[Clear Pipe]]s. Like in previous games, they are almost invincible, as they can only be defeated by a [[Super Star]], [[Lucky Cat Mario]], or a [[Potted Piranha Plant]]. [[Fuzzy Horde]]s also make an appearance in [[Fuzzy Time Mine]], which instantly defeat the player upon contact. They have a regional variant that features cat ears and a tail found in ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', specifically in [[Risky Whisker Island]]. Here, a potted Cat Piranha Plant must be taken around the lighthouse to eat the Cat Fuzzies and award Mario with a [[Cat Shine]].
Fuzzies appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They first appear in the [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], moving up and down the orange poles that Mario or Luigi can climb. Fuzzies are also found in the [[Flipsville Galaxy]] where they can be defeated with a [[Spin Drill]]. They look very similar to how they did in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', though they strangely leave behind black smoke clouds as they move.


A species that behaves like Fuzzies by latching onto characters and draining their HP are known as [[Slurple]]s. Slurples also appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', as well as its prequel, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.
====''Super Mario Run''====
Fuzzies appear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' as enemies moving in trails.


====''Super Mario 3D''====
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
Fuzzies are scheduled to appear in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] game, ''[[Super Mario 3D]]''.
Fuzzies reappear once again in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they can be found in the [[Metro Kingdom]], [[Lake Kingdom]], [[Wooded Kingdom]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Moon Kingdom]], and the [[Darker Side]]. They can travel on electrical wires and tracks, including those of [[spark pylon]]s. In the Lost Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom, and Moon Kingdom, they can be found in 8-bit segments, using their sprites from ''Super Mario World''. Some tracks go into and out of 8-bit segments, and Fuzzies can follow the track across both dimensions. They are the only enemies in 8-bit segments that do not originate in ''Super Mario Bros.'' Fuzzies in this game are invincible, able to ignore all attacks.

[[File:PMFuzzy.png|right|frame]]
Fuzzies make a return appearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', which reveals a large group of them inhabit the woods behind [[Koopa Village]]. Fuzzies attack as "vampires" in this series as they attack by draining [[HP]] from [[Mario]]. When Mario first reaches Koopa Village, he will find it under attack by a horde of Fuzzies who are harassing the [[Koopa Troopa]] inhabitants of the village. After Mario defeats the apparent leader of the Fuzzies, who had stolen the Shell of [[Kooper]], after the battle, the Fuzzies promised to behave and stop attacking the village, at least, for a while. A Fuzzy Can also be fought in [[Shy Guys Toy Box]] if [[Princess Peach]] tells [[Bowser]] that a Fuzzy is one of Mario's worst fears, [[Kammy Koopa]] will than warp one (possibly the leader face earlier in the game) into the Toy Box to guard a [[Treasure Chest]] and defeat Mario, However by this point in the game the [[Player]] should have no trouble defeating it.
[[File:PaperFuzzyBoss.png|thumb|left|A Fuzzy from ''Paper Mario''.]]
Fuzzies make a return appearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', in which a large group of them inhabit the woods behind [[Koopa Village]]. Fuzzies attack by draining [[Heart Point|HP]] from [[Mario]]. Outside of battle, they move about by hopping, and can secrete webs from their bodies to hang from in a similar manner to {{wp|silkworm}}s or {{wp|spider}}s. When Mario first reaches Koopa Village, he finds it under attack by a horde of Fuzzies who are harassing the [[Koopa Troopa]] inhabitants of the village. After Mario defeats the apparent leader of the Fuzzies, who stole the Blue Shell of [[Kooper]], the Fuzzies "promise" to behave and stop attacking the village, at least for a while. A Fuzzy can also be fought in [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] if [[Princess Peach]] tells [[Bowser]] that a Fuzzy is one of Mario's worst fears; [[Kammy Koopa]] then warps one into the Toy Box to guard a [[treasure chest]] and defeat Mario.
 
Two variants also appear: the [[Green Fuzzy|Green Fuzzies]] of [[Forever Forest]], also known as Forest Fuzzies, and the [[Jungle Fuzzy|Jungle Fuzzies]] of [[Lavalava Island]]. A similar enemy known as the [[Swoopula]] also acts and attacks like a Fuzzy.
 
There is a piece of [[Toad Town News]] that warns of their invasion in Koopa Village.
 
Also, an [[List of Paper Mario pre-release and unused content#Unused Enemy Palettes|aqua colored Fuzzy]] was intended to appear, but it never made it into the final version.

[[File:TheFuzz.png|thumb|The Fuzz fighting team ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.]]  
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' Fuzzies first appear in [[Shhwonk Fortress]] and later, one appears as a member of the [[The Fuzz|Fuzz]] fighting team in the [[Glitz Pit]]. They also appear in the first floors of the [[Pit of 100 Trials]]. They attack the same ways as they did in the previous games. Two subspecies called [[Green Fuzzy]] and [[Flower Fuzzy]] are introduced in this game.
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', Fuzzies appear as semi-common enemies, first appearing in [[Shhwonk Fortress]] and later, one appears as a member of [[The Fuzz]] fighting team in the [[Glitz Pit]]. They also appear in the first floors of the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. They have the same parasitic method of attack as in the previous game. Green Fuzzies also reappear, and the Jungle Fuzzies from the previous game are replaced by the similar [[Flower Fuzzy|Flower Fuzzies]]. A new type of Fuzzy is introduced as a mini-boss, called the [[Gold Fuzzy]], and the [[Fuzzy Horde]]s, a large group of Fuzzies, are also introduced in this game.


====''Super Paper Mario====
====''Super Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Fuzzies appear as enemies on the [[Planet Blobule]], where unlike their previous appearances, instead of draining HP they attack other creatures by bouncing into them. The most dangerous type of Fuzzy called [[Dark Fuzzy]] is introduced in this game.

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:FuzzbushFuzzy.png|thumb|150px|Fuzzies and a Fuzzbush in battle.]]
Fuzzies make another appearance in the Nintendo 3DS game ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are one of the few enemies in the game to retain their appearance from the first three ''Paper Mario'' games. They only appear in level 4-5, [[Whiteout Valley]], where they ride the ski lift bar, coming from the front and back. Once a Fuzzy reaches Mario, it jumps up and falls onto Mario unless he either swings his chair out of the way or jumps to knock the Fuzzy away while it sits directly above Mario's head. Fuzzies often appear in groups of 2-4. In battle, all a Fuzzy can do is simply bounce and slam into Mario. However, if a Fuzzy is hit and not defeated, it multiplies into two Fuzzies, similar to their multiplication powers in previous ''Paper Mario'' titles.
Fuzzies appeared in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' as projectiles that were spawned by the [[Fuzzbush]], suggesting a possible relation. Unlike other Fuzzies, these could poison Mario or Luigi. Since they were just projectiles, they weren't technically enemies in this game.


==Sub-species==
====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
*[[Dark Fuzzy]]
[[File:PMCS Fuzzy.png|thumb|left|100px|Fuzzy sprite from ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'']]
*[[Flower Fuzzy]]
Fuzzies return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', keeping their appearance and attack from the previous game. They can be found in [[The Golden Coliseum]], [[Redpepper Volcano]], [[Toad Trainworks]], and [[Sunset Express]]. If jumped on or hit by Mario's hammer outside battle as a [[First Strike]] attack, they are defeated without having to start a battle. A Fuzzy is the first-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #5|Roshambo Temple #5]]. [[Fuzzy Stack]]s can be encountered in Redpepper Volcano and Toad Trainworks.

|tattle=This is a Fuzzy. Why do Fuzzies always [[Jump]] up and down? They need to chill out! The problem with Fuzzies is their quickness. It's really tough to time their attacks. If they latch on to you, watch out! They'll absorb your HP.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
[[File:Buzz a Fuzzy.png|thumb|Fuzzies as seen in ''Mario Party: Island Tour'']]

Fuzzy, Paper Mario

Fuzzies, also called Fuzzles,[1] are small, black-furred creatures with unusual, spiky bodies. They possess two strabismus eyes and large teeth, and are often found on tracks. Despite displaying some level of intelligence and the ability to speak, Fuzzies are, for the most part, erratic creatures. Fuzzies made their debut in Super Mario World.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World[edit]

A Fuzzy, as originally depicted for Super Mario World

Fuzzies first appear in Super Mario World as particularly rare enemies found circling blocks or on tracks. They first appear in the same level where ON/OFF Switches first appear, Donut Plains 3. Fuzzies do not directly attack Mario or Luigi and only do damage if their paths happen to intersect. The ones circling around blocks can be defeated, either by Yoshi or by tossing (or kicking) a Koopa Shell at them. Caped Mario can also use his Body Press against them. Fuzzies are among the few enemies not shown during the game's end credits.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

Although absent from the first New Super Mario Bros., Fuzzies, along with bigger versions called Big Fuzzies, neither of which were named in the Prima Games guidebook, reappear in the game New Super Mario Bros. Wii where they are found in Worlds 7 and 9. They act the same way as they did in Super Mario World. Unlike in Super Mario World though, they can be defeated by being frozen and shattering the block of ice they are trapped in or blasting them with fireballs as Fire Mario. Fuzzies can also be found on tracks and are mostly in sky levels. They appear in World 7-3, World 9-5, and World 9-8. They are usually found in big groups, and they also do flips when they jump from one wire onto another. They make a zing noise whenever they jump off wires.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Fuzzies appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, marking their first appearance in a 3D Super Mario title. They first appear in the Honeybloom Galaxy, moving up and down the orange poles that Mario or Luigi can climb. Fuzzies are also found in the Flipsville Galaxy, where they can be defeated with a Spin Drill. They look very similar to how they did in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, though they leave behind black smoke clouds as they move.

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Fuzzies later appear in Super Mario 3D Land. Mario must avoid them on tightropes in this game. They are invincible unless Mario (or Luigi) touches them while invincible.

New Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Fuzzies appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, acting the same way as in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They can be defeated by shooting them with a fireball, using a Star, using a Super Leaf tail whack, or using a Gold Flower. They appear in World 2-A and World 4-C, the latter of which marking their first appearance underground in the Super Mario series.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

Fuzzies, along with their larger cousins, return in New Super Mario Bros. U and its Nintendo Switch port New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, acting the same as they did previously. They first appear in Fuzzy Clifftop of Rock-Candy Mines.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Fuzzies reappear in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. In this game, they have the ability to move without the aid of a track or pole. They are generally found in Shadow-Play Alley and moving through and around Clear Pipes. Like in previous games, they are almost invincible, as they can only be defeated by a Super Star, Lucky Cat Mario, or a Potted Piranha Plant. Fuzzy Hordes also make an appearance in Fuzzy Time Mine, which instantly defeat the player upon contact. They have a regional variant that features cat ears and a tail found in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, specifically in Risky Whisker Island. Here, a potted Cat Piranha Plant must be taken around the lighthouse to eat the Cat Fuzzies and award Mario with a Cat Shine.

Super Mario Run[edit]

Fuzzies appear in Super Mario Run as enemies moving in trails.

Super Mario Odyssey[edit]

Fuzzies reappear once again in Super Mario Odyssey, where they can be found in the Metro Kingdom, Lake Kingdom, Wooded Kingdom, Lost Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom, Moon Kingdom, and the Darker Side. They can travel on electrical wires and tracks, including those of spark pylons. In the Lost Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom, and Moon Kingdom, they can be found in 8-bit segments, using their sprites from Super Mario World. Some tracks go into and out of 8-bit segments, and Fuzzies can follow the track across both dimensions. They are the only enemies in 8-bit segments that do not originate in Super Mario Bros. Fuzzies in this game are invincible, able to ignore all attacks.

Super Mario Adventures[edit]

In Super Mario Adventures, a Fuzzy makes a small appearance, being among the monsters sent by Bowser to attack Princess Toadstool's Castle.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario[edit]

Fuzzies make a return appearance in Paper Mario, in which a large group of them inhabit the woods behind Koopa Village. Fuzzies attack by draining HP from Mario. Outside of battle, they move about by hopping, and can secrete webs from their bodies to hang from in a similar manner to silkworms or spiders. When Mario first reaches Koopa Village, he finds it under attack by a horde of Fuzzies who are harassing the Koopa Troopa inhabitants of the village. After Mario defeats the apparent leader of the Fuzzies, who stole the Blue Shell of Kooper, the Fuzzies "promise" to behave and stop attacking the village, at least for a while. A Fuzzy can also be fought in Shy Guy's Toy Box if Princess Peach tells Bowser that a Fuzzy is one of Mario's worst fears; Kammy Koopa then warps one into the Toy Box to guard a treasure chest and defeat Mario.

Two variants also appear: the Green Fuzzies of Forever Forest, also known as Forest Fuzzies, and the Jungle Fuzzies of Lavalava Island. A similar enemy known as the Swoopula also acts and attacks like a Fuzzy.

There is a piece of Toad Town News that warns of their invasion in Koopa Village.

Also, an aqua colored Fuzzy was intended to appear, but it never made it into the final version.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

The Fuzz
The Fuzz fighting team Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Fuzzies appear as semi-common enemies, first appearing in Shhwonk Fortress and later, one appears as a member of The Fuzz fighting team in the Glitz Pit. They also appear in the first floors of the Pit of 100 Trials. They have the same parasitic method of attack as in the previous game. Green Fuzzies also reappear, and the Jungle Fuzzies from the previous game are replaced by the similar Flower Fuzzies. A new type of Fuzzy is introduced as a mini-boss, called the Gold Fuzzy, and the Fuzzy Hordes, a large group of Fuzzies, are also introduced in this game.

Super Paper Mario[edit]

In Super Paper Mario, Fuzzies appear as enemies on the Planet Blobule, where unlike their previous appearances, instead of draining HP, they attack other creatures by bouncing into them. The most dangerous type of Fuzzy (called a Dark Fuzzy) is introduced in this game. Flower Fuzzies, repurposed as Pink Fuzzies, also return from the previous game.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

Fuzzies make another appearance in the Nintendo 3DS game Paper Mario: Sticker Star. They are one of the few enemies in the game to retain their appearance from the first three Paper Mario games. They only appear in level 4-5, Whiteout Valley, where they ride the ski lift bar, coming from the front and back. Once a Fuzzy reaches Mario, it jumps up and falls onto Mario unless he either swings his chair out of the way or jumps to knock the Fuzzy away while it sits directly above Mario's head. Fuzzies often appear in groups of 2-4. In battle, all a Fuzzy can do is simply bounce and slam into Mario. However, if a Fuzzy is hit and not defeated, it multiplies into two Fuzzies, similar to their multiplication powers in previous Paper Mario titles.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]

Fuzzies return in Paper Mario: Color Splash, keeping their appearance and attack from the previous game. They can be found in The Golden Coliseum, Redpepper Volcano, Toad Trainworks, and Sunset Express. If jumped on or hit by Mario's hammer outside battle as a First Strike attack, they are defeated without having to start a battle. A Fuzzy is the first-round opponent in Roshambo Temple #5. Fuzzy Stacks can be encountered in Redpepper Volcano and Toad Trainworks.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

Origami Fuzzies appear as enemies in Paper Mario: The Origami King. However, Mario cannot enter battle with them, and they instead only act as obstacles in the overworld. Mario will lose HP if he collides with them, but can defeat them by hitting them with the Hammer.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Fuzzies and a Fuzzbush in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

Fuzzies appear in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions as projectiles that are spawned by the Fuzzbush. They appear purple in the original Game Boy Advance version while they are reverted to their current design in the Nintendo 3DS remake. Unlike other Fuzzies, these can poison Mario and Luigi.

While Fuzzies do not appear in any other game of the Mario & Luigi series, they were given a variant in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Paper Fuzzies.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

Buzz a Fuzzy
Fuzzies as seen in Mario Party: Island Tour

Fuzzies once again make an appearance in Mario Party: Island Tour, in the minigame Buzz a Fuzzy. The player has to use the suctions to capture as many Fuzzies as they can. A Fuzzy also appears as one of the tiles in the minigames Match Faker and Tap Dash.

Mario Party 10[edit]

In Mario Party 10, Fuzzies appear in multiple minigames, some appear in Airship Central to take away Mini Stars; they also appear as obstacles in Fuzzy Fliers, and as a selectable enemy in Meanie Match.

Mario Party: Star Rush[edit]

Fuzzies appear in the minigame, Dodge Fuzzy, Get Dizzy in Mario Party: Star Rush as the primary obstacles. They move in a rail, where players need to spin past them to progress. If players get hit by them, they get stunned momentarily.

Super Mario Party[edit]

Fuzzies appear in Super Mario Party as non-playable characters. They are featured in the Fuzzy Flight School minigame, where the players must dodge them in their planes. A Fuzzy can also appear in Absent Minded as one of the characters that can be selected.

Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]

Fuzzies appear as obstacles in the Super Mario Party Jamboree Duel minigame Fuzzy Heights. Here, players compete to see who can travel further up a vertical track. Should they touch a Fuzzy, a player will lose distance and be briefly stunned. Fuzzies are also present in the minigame Wario's Buzzer Beater. Here, they are found on tracks, and players must guess which track has the most Fuzzies to earn points.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

In Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a Fuzzy appears on the logo for the sponsor Fuzzy Battery. Fuzzies physically appear in Tour Rome Avanti in the Booster Course Pass for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. They function identically to their Mario Kart Tour appearance.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

Fuzzies in Mario Kart Tour

Fuzzies once again appear as cameos in Mario Kart Tour on Fuzzy Battery signs, which can be seen in Waluigi Pinball and the new New York Minute courses. They make their first physical appearance within the series in Rome Avanti R/T while they ride along tracks. They also appear inside a yellow pipe section in Piranha Plant Pipeline and in Piazza Navona in Rome Avanti 3.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

Fuzzies appear in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS ports in Clear Pipe Puzzleplex, Biddybud Snow Stroll, Poison Canal Cannon Run, Shadow-Play Alley and Clear Pipe Cruise. They can only be defeated using a Super Pickax or an Invincibility Mushroom, and unlike most enemies in that game, do not react in any way to the touch screen / pointer interaction.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

Fuzzies appear in Dr. Mario World as assistants. Their stage mode effect is to grant a chance that the first three capsules will be of matching color, where both halves will be changed to the same color based on the left half's color. The effect has a 40% chance to activate on the first level and an 80% chance to activate at the maximum level. Their versus mode is to instead clear a column on the user's side of the stage if the opponent uses a skill. Two of them are rewarded as assistants, where each are obtained by clearing the first areas of World 22 and World 29.

WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]

Fuzzies appear in WarioWare: Get It Together! in the New Super Mario Bros. U microgame where players must avoid them to collect coins. If they have attacks, they can be defeated. They are also present in level 2 of the Super Mario World microgame.

Isn't that the worst? I mean, EW! Doesn't that just sound totally gross? Anyway, guard against them by pressing A Button the MOMENT they release you. The timing is pretty hard to master, so, uh, practice up! These things really suck... HP.
