'''Bee Mario''' is a transformation in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and it was revealed in E3 2007. When [[Mario]] touches a round floating mushroom with yellow and black stripes, he will turn into Bee Mario. It is known that when Mario puts on this suit, he will be able to fly like a [[bee]] for a short time (and will look like a bee as well). It is rumored that Mario will use this transformation for the first time in the [[Honeybee Galaxy]]. It will also let [[Mario]] land on flower petals that he would normally sink through and climb up honeycombs. It has been revealed that Bee Mario will be able to defeat enemies with his stinger. Bee Mario, however, will transform back into Mario either after taking damage, or after touching water.

'''Bee Mario''' is a form of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] that debuts in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. When Mario takes this form, his hat becomes a brown helmet with yellow antennae, his overalls turn yellow with brown stripes, his shoes turn reddish-brown (Luigi's color scheme is reversed from this), and he grows a stinger (although it cannot damage enemies and is simply for decoration) and small wings, which allow Mario to take flight in a similar manner to a [[honeybee]] for a short time.

[[File:SMG Bee Mario Fly Meter.png|left|thumb|200px|Bee Mario's flight meter.]]
In ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Mario (or Luigi) take the Bee form by obtaining a [[Bee Mushroom]]. When Mario flies, his fly gauge will decrease unless he refills it by collecting coins, clinging to honeycombs, or landing. The fastest way to refill the gauge while flying is to stomp on a non-playable character (including enemies) or a [[Koopa Shell|shell]]. Mario is also able to climb honeycombs and walk on flower petals and clouds. Mario will lose this form by taking damage or touching water, though it is possible for him to go underwater due to a [[List of Super Mario Galaxy glitches#Bee Mario underwater| glitch]] in the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]]. Bee Mario is unable to hit ? Blocks, use advanced jump moves, and pick up shells. Also, his Spin radius will become smaller and [[honey]] with a yellow trail will replace the regular blue cosmic-looking spin trail.
 
Bee Mario (and '''Bee Luigi''') can be used in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]], the [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]], the [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], the [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]], and the [[Honeyclimb Galaxy]]. This ability returns in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', only usable in [[Honeybloom Galaxy]], [[Honeyhop Galaxy]], and in the game's credits after collecting 120 [[Power Star|stars]].
 
When in Bee Mario form, if Mario is behind an object, his shadow is not in the shape of Bee Mario, but as normal Mario. This applies with all of Mario's forms in the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games.
 
===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''===
Bee Mario also appears as a costume in the [[Wii]] version ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''.

The same costume appears in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]''.
 
===''Mario Tennis Open''===
In ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'', a Bee Mario racket and a Bee Mario costume can be unlocked. The costume is obtained by giving eight characters a star rank, while the racket randomly appears in the shop after a tennis match and can be purchased for 1,300 coins for [[Mii]]s to use.
 
===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', a Bee Mario costume, Bee Mario golf ball, and Bee Mario golf club set can be unlocked. The golf ball and clubs appear in the shop after playing rounds, and the costume becomes available when the player succeeds 20 times in Endless Shot Practice.

Bee Mario is a form of Mario and Luigi that debuts in Super Mario Galaxy. When Mario takes this form, his hat becomes a brown helmet with yellow antennae, his overalls turn yellow with brown stripes, his shoes turn reddish-brown (Luigi's color scheme is reversed from this), and he grows a stinger (although it cannot damage enemies and is simply for decoration) and small wings, which allow Mario to take flight in a similar manner to a honeybee for a short time.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Bee Mario's flight meter.

In Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario (or Luigi) take the Bee form by obtaining a Bee Mushroom. When Mario flies, his fly gauge will decrease unless he refills it by collecting coins, clinging to honeycombs, or landing. The fastest way to refill the gauge while flying is to stomp on a non-playable character (including enemies) or a shell. Mario is also able to climb honeycombs and walk on flower petals and clouds. Mario will lose this form by taking damage or touching water, though it is possible for him to go underwater due to a glitch in the Sea Slide Galaxy. Bee Mario is unable to hit ? Blocks, use advanced jump moves, and pick up shells. Also, his Spin radius will become smaller and honey with a yellow trail will replace the regular blue cosmic-looking spin trail.

Bee Mario (and Bee Luigi) can be used in the Honeyhive Galaxy, the Gold Leaf Galaxy, the Sea Slide Galaxy, the Sand Spiral Galaxy, and the Honeyclimb Galaxy. This ability returns in Super Mario Galaxy 2, only usable in Honeybloom Galaxy, Honeyhop Galaxy, and in the game's credits after collecting 120 stars.

When in Bee Mario form, if Mario is behind an object, his shadow is not in the shape of Bee Mario, but as normal Mario. This applies with all of Mario's forms in the Super Mario Galaxy games.
