'''Biddybuds''' are common [[enemies]] appearing in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]''. They resemble multicoloured ladybugs and act like regular [[Goomba]]s, though they don't chase [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] when they're in sight, making them more like Goombas from the 2D games. They bear a small resemblance to the [[Stu]]s of ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and a high resemblence to [[Dotty|Dotties]].

Biddybuds first appear in [[World 1-3 (Super Mario 3D Land)|World 1-3]]. They appear in five different colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and pink.

They also have a sub-species called [[Para-Biddybud]]s, which have wings and fly, similar to a [[Paragoomba]]. They are a common enemy, but not as common as Goombas are.
