Queen Bee first appears in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' where she is a non-playable character. She rules over the Honeyhive Galaxy and helps Mario out in missions there. She first appears in the mission [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Bee Mario/Luigi Take Flight|Bee Mario Takes Flight]] on the [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Queen Bee Planet|Queen Bee Planet]] where she tells Mario that she is plagued by a terrible itchiness and asks him to stop it. The itchiness is, in reality, caused by five [[Star Chip]]s that have lodged in the hair on her back. Mario must become [[Bee Mario]] with a nearby [[Bee Mushroom]] and use his new powers to climb around her back and collect the Star Chips. After collecting all five chips, a [[Launch Star]] appears and sends Mario to the [[Honeyhive Galaxy#Starting Planet|final planet]] and the [[Power Star]].

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

The Queen Bee in Super Mario Galaxy
Screenshot from Super Mario Galaxy

Queen Bee is a supporting character in Super Mario Galaxy. She rules over the Honeyhive Galaxy and helps Mario out in missions there. She first appears in the mission Bee Mario Takes Flight on the Queen Bee Planet where she tells Mario that she is plagued by a terrible itchiness and asks him to stop it. The itchiness is, in reality, caused by five Star Chips that have lodged in the hair on her back. Mario must become Bee Mario with a nearby Bee Mushroom and use his new powers to climb around her back and collect the Star Chips. After collecting all five chips, a Launch Star appears and sends Mario to the final planet and the Power Star. In the second mission Trouble on the Tower, if the player manages to go to the back of the main planet (where the hollow trunk to the slide is located), a Honeybee tells Mario/Luigi that the queen is having a nice rest.

Queen Bee reappears in the mission Big Bad Bugaboom at the end of the tunnel with three Mandibugs in it. She tells him that the neighbors are giving them trouble again and asks him to stop them, making a Launch Star appear that launches him to Bugaboom's planet. At the end of the game Queen Bee makes a final small appearance in the end-of-game party celebrating Mario's victory over Bowser along with Dino Piranha and a bunch of Goombas and Toads.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Queen Bee

Queen Bee is a supporting character in Super Mario Galaxy 2. She appears in the Honeyhop Galaxy. This time she takes her residence on top of the Queen Bee Planet in the level The Sweetest Silver Stars where she, once again, rules over the Honeybees. When Mario goes onto her planet she tells him that she is plagued by an itchiness and asks him if he could help her out. He, once again, gets a Bee Mushroom and goes on her back to find the cause of the itching to be one of the Silver Stars. After getting all five stars, a Power Star will be formed which he can go get.

While Queen Bee only appears in one galaxy in the game, she is mentioned by several of her Honeybee minions in the Honeybloom Galaxy in the mission Bumble Beginnings where they are searching for a Power Star to bring back to their queen. Once Mario finds the star, they praise him for finding it while they could not.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Queen Bee also appears in the Super Mario-kun manga. Her role is the same as in Super Mario Galaxy, although she is very ill.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart 7[edit]

Honey Queen battling on Honeybee Hive, in Mario Kart 7

Honey Queen is an unlockable playable character in Mario Kart 7. Honey Queen is unlocked by winning the 150cc Banana Cup. She is significantly shrunken down from Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel to fit in karts. Honey Queen has one of the best speed and weight boosts, due to being a heavyweight character. Honey Queen has her own battle course, the Honeybee Hive, and a signature kart, the Bumble V. Additionally, her Birthday Girl and Peach Parasol are colored purple, akin to Daisy and Rosalina, also using their signature colors for these items. Her emblem consists of a small bee with a crown in the place of its head.

Mario Kart Tour[edit]

While Honey Queen does not appear in Mario Kart Tour, her emblem appears on a badge.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Honey Queen is a master spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She runs a Dojo where spirits can learn the "Big-Bee Style", which increases defense, jump, and weight, but decreases offense and move speed.

Dr. Mario World[edit]

Honey Queen appears as one of the randomly obtained assistants in staffing in Dr. Mario World. She was added to the game's pool of assistants in the October 4th, 2019 update. Her stage mode effect is to transform an object (mainly viruses) into a skill charger, where it is 10% at the first level and 50% at the maximum level. Her versus mode effect is to also transform a random object (mainly viruses), though the chance it activates is greater, at 30% at the first level and 70% at the maximum level.
