Beezos, also known as Shy Aways in the original version of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, are a species of Shy Guys that first appeared in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. Beezos use bidents as weapons and have insect-like wings on their back, which allow them to fly. The name is likely a portmanteau of "bee" and "bozo".
History
Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2
Beezos first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2, allied with Wart and the mysterious 8 bits. They are present in two different varieties, those being a red type, and a type that appears green or gray depending on location. They attack by flying towards the player. The red type will dive at Mario while the gray/green type charges straight forward at set heights. Beezos first appear in World 1-2.
Beezos normally appear in large groups and seemingly have an infinite number due to not disappearing until the player leaves the portion of the level they appear in.
There are two ways to defeat a Beezo. The player can throw vegetables or other objects at one, or jump on one, pick it up, and throw it. Unlike other enemies, players do not stay on Beezos they land on, and must move along with them so they do not fall off.
Beezos reappear in Super Mario Bros. 2's enhanced re-releases, Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance, in which they act the same, with the only difference being that they are recolored: the red ones became yellow, while the gray/green ones became red, with their original red and gray robe colors being used on their shoes respectively. In the latter version, which only has yellow Beezos, defeating a single Beezo gives 4000 points. Much like Shy Guys, their artwork still colors their shoes white.
The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!
Beezos make several appearances in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, usually serving as guards, and attacking in large swarms. In the episode "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em", instead of working for King Koopa as usual, they work for Queen Rotunda. Near the beginning of the episode, they attack Mario and his friends, only to be defeated by vegetables. In the episode "The Fire of Hercufleas", the Beezos steal the "Great Balls of Fire" from Hercufleas. When the Mario Brothers, Toad, Princess Toadstool, and Hercufleas go to get the "Great Balls of Fire" back, the Beezos get stuck in a bowl of melted marshmallows.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Template:Quote2 Beezos appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, originally under the name "Shy Away". They are found at Land's End and Bean Valley. Although Beezos command impressive magical abilities, most choose to run away from intruders instead of fighting them in this game. Additionally, Beezos now show a love of watering plants, especially the kind that attacks others for them.
One specific Beezo works for Valentina during her reign in Nimbus Land. This Beezo is tasked with blocking the entrance to Nimbus Land, preventing any interference to Valentina's plan. This Beezo grows a Smilax bud to block the pipe leading to Nimbus Land. After Mario defeats this first bud, Beezo reappears and grows two more. Eventually, Beezo creates Megasmilax, a gigantic Piranha Plant. Ultimately, Mario prevails over the plant monster, thus causing Beezo to run away and accidentally drop the important Seed.
Beezo retreats to Nimbus Land. Once there, he is ordered by Valentina to provide nutrients to Birdo. Mario meets up with Beezo again, who tries to flee a second time. However, the door leading out of the room is locked, preventing Beezo's escape. Once Mario opens the door by defeating Birdo, Beezo flies to the throne room, warning Valentina and Dodo of Mario's arrival. After warning her, Beezo flees for a third time and is followed by Valentina and Dodo, who also do not wish to fight.
After Valentina and Dodo are defeated, Beezo attempts to escape Nimbus Land for good (through an invisible path off of the clouds), but Mario catches him, and he gives Mario the Fertilizer.
The Flying Snifit of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story is similar to Beezo, both in appearance and affinity to gardening.
In the Nintendo Switch remake of the game, they are properly called Beezos.

Trivia
- The Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic manual contains entries for both a red and gray Beezo.[5] However, the accompanying screenshot appears somewhat pink-tinted due to the low quality. The Super Mario Bros. 2 manual labels it as pink and retains the screenshot,[1] although some copies of the former also change the color of the artwork to somewhat match,[15] which was kept in the Super Mario USA manual.[6]
- Despite the artwork showing a mouth on the Beezo's mask, this feature does not appear in the enemy's sprites in any version of Super Mario Bros. 2; it does, however, appear in Super Mario RPG.
- Concept artwork for the 1993 Super Mario Bros. film shows a neon sign in Dinohattan saying "Beezo Blast". It is not present in the final film.
