'''Stingers''' are large wasps or bees (similar to [[Bzzap!]]s) found in [[Land's End]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Stingers are more of an annoyance than a real threat, with them having a weak physical attack, unfortunately they may also use attacks called "[[Thornet]]" (which poisons) and "[[Funguspike]]" (which changes a party member into a [[Mushroom]]). Stingers usually fight either with other Stingers or random monsters (usually [[Fink Flower]]s), if their allies are defeated they will usually run-away rather than fight.

Trivia[edit]

  • Stinger's Japanese thought is a reference to a line spoken by Jonathan Joestar in the 1987 manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood. The choice of reference plays on Stinger's Japanese name, which itself plays off the word "beat." Meanwhile, Stinger's thought in the English SNES version is a nod to the 1990 Madonna song "Vogue".[2]
