[[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.

===''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]]''.

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

The enemies are roughly the same size as Goombas 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 bee flies, which have a long proboscis. Their English name is a portmanteau of "sting" and "bee," and is pronounced "sting-bee."[1]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

Stingby.png

Stingbies make their debut in Super Mario 3D Land, and are first encountered in 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.

While Stingbies themselves do not appear in Super Mario Odyssey, mosquito-like variants known as 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[edit]

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]

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 can defeat a Stingby with an airborne stomp. These enemies do not return in the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS versions since the level is not included in them.

Minecraft[edit]

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

Dr. Mario World[edit]

“Stingby's skill grants an 8% chance of 8 more seconds in timed stages. That's a ton of vitamin bee!”
Blue, official Dr. Mario World social media accounts[2][3]

Stingbies appear in Dr. Mario World as obtainable assistants and are a clear reward bonus for completing the first area of World 14 and World 27. They also appear in the background of 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 Blocks, where it is a 10% chance at the first level and 30% chance at the maximum level.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

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[edit]

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.[4] Regular Stingbies can also appear in the minigame Camera-Ready, where they can be photographed chasing other non-playable characters, and Which Door Has More?, where they are one of the species that can appear in the rooms.
