In both of these games, Bee Flies are rather rare and can technically deal no damage, since they flee when approached. However, they can be jumped on.  


Bē first appeared in ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'', where they could be found in one [[Tree Zone]] level and two [[Macro Zone]] stages. These black flies typically remained in one place when undisturbed, but they, upon [[Mario]]'s approaching, would quickly fly off in a diagonal manner (much like the flies of the [[Real World]]). Their runaway flight was just as fast as Mario's top running speed, making a [[Fire Flower]] or [[jump|pounce from above]] almost completely necessary to destroy them, and even then no special reward was given for doing so, making them more or less pointless foes.

They typically remain in one place when undisturbed, but they quickly fly off in a diagonal manner when approached by [[Mario]]. Their runaway flight is just as fast as Mario's top running speed.


As stated above, Bē managed to reappear in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'', likely as a clever reference to that game's predecessor. Here they were found in the first three stages of the [[S.S. Teacup]], all of which were notable for taking place outside of the area's eponymous [[:Category:Watercraft|ship]]. In ''Wario Land'', Bē's actions were for the most part the same, although [[Wario (series)|''Wario'' series]] mechanics made them even easier to destroy. They were also given an animation when idle and flew away in a more realistic, curved style. They would not move if Wario would crouch, which makes it possible for Wario to jump on them. If Wario manages to jump on one, a [[10 Gold Coin]] would appear.

If Wario manages to jump on one, a [[10-Coin|10 Gold Coin]] appears. They are said to be companions of their ''Super Mario Land 2'' counterparts.<ref name=DaijitenWario/>


==Trivia==
Although the sprites of Bee Flies are nearly identical in ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' and ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'', artwork from each game reveals a distinct difference which is not conveyed by their in-game sprites: Bee Flies from ''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' have a proboscis, but their counterparts from ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' have a tongue sticking out of a regular mouth instead.
*Although Bē were, like many other of ''Super Mario Land 2''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s insect [[enemies]], placed in locations that were supposed to make Mario feel tiny in their initial appearance, they were found in normal-sized stages in ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'', literally making them gigantic flies.

First appearance Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (1992)
Latest appearance Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (1994)

Bee Flies[1] are large flies found in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. In both of these games, Bee Flies are rather rare and can technically deal no damage, since they flee when approached. However, they can be jumped on.

Bee Flies first appear in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, where they can be found in the Tree Zone level The Exit and the Macro Zone levels In the Syrup Sea and Fiery Mario–Special Agent. They typically remain in one place when undisturbed, but they quickly fly off in a diagonal manner when approached by Mario. Their runaway flight is just as fast as Mario's top running speed.

Bee Flies reappear in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, behaving similarly to their previous incarnation. They are found in the first three stages of the SS Tea Cup. They are also given an animation when idle and fly away in a curved angle. They do not move if Wario crouches, which makes it possible for Wario to jump on them. If Wario manages to jump on one, a 10 Gold Coin appears. They are said to be companions of their Super Mario Land 2 counterparts.[2]

Although the sprites of Bee Flies are nearly identical in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins and Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, artwork from each game reveals a distinct difference which is not conveyed by their in-game sprites: Bee Flies from Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins have a proboscis, but their counterparts from Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 have a tongue sticking out of a regular mouth instead.
