Honey Queen, originally referred to as Queen Bee in Super Mario Galaxy, is a character introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. She is an extremely large bee who is the queen of the Honeybees. Honey Queen has a gigantic stinger poking out of the very bottom of her body. She has large wings on her back that reverberate back and forth quickly enough to the point of being nearly invisible. She has two feet with high heeled shoes on them sticking out right above her stinger and two arms with white gloves protruding from her sides. There is always a cape draped over her neck and part of her back which is fastened by a pink jewel right in the middle of her chest. Honey Queen wears a brown bonnet that covers her whole head except for her eyes, mouth and nose (the latter of which is purple). She has long eyelashes, black beady eyes with pink eyeshadow, and plump, pink lips. On top of her head, she wears a crown bejeweled with blue gems all around. Honey Queen speaks using nosism in the first Super Mario Galaxy, referring to herself as "we" and "our".
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Galaxy
Queen Bee is a supporting character in Super Mario Galaxy. She rules over the Honeyhive Galaxy and helps Mario out in missions there. She first appears in the mission Bee Mario Takes Flight on the Queen Bee Planet where she tells Mario that she is plagued by a terrible itchiness and asks him to stop it. The itchiness is, in reality, caused by five Star Chips that have lodged in the hair on her back. Mario must become Bee Mario with a nearby Bee Mushroom and use his new powers to climb around her back and collect the Star Chips. After collecting all five chips, a Launch Star appears and sends Mario to the final planet and the Power Star. In the second mission Trouble on the Tower, if the player manages to go to the back of the main planet (where the hollow trunk to the slide is located), a Honeybee tells Mario/Luigi that the queen is having a nice rest.
Queen Bee reappears in the mission Big Bad Bugaboom at the end of the tunnel with three Mandibugs in it. She tells him that the neighbors are giving them trouble again and asks him to stop them, making a Launch Star appear that launches him to Bugaboom's planet. At the end of the game Queen Bee makes a final small appearance in the end-of-game party celebrating Mario's victory over Bowser along with Dino Piranha and a bunch of Goombas and Toads.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Queen Bee is a supporting character in Super Mario Galaxy 2. She appears in the Honeyhop Galaxy. This time she takes her residence on top of the Queen Bee Planet in the level The Sweetest Silver Stars where she, once again, rules over the Honeybees. When Mario goes onto her planet she tells him that she is plagued by an itchiness and asks him if he could help her out. He, once again, gets a Bee Mushroom and goes on her back to find the cause of the itching to be one of the Silver Stars. After getting all five stars, a Power Star will be formed which he can go get.
While Queen Bee only appears in one galaxy in the game, she is mentioned by several of her Honeybee minions in the Honeybloom Galaxy in the mission Bumble Beginnings where they are searching for a Power Star to bring back to their queen. Once Mario finds the star, they praise him for finding it while they could not.
Super Mario-kun
Queen Bee also appears in the Super Mario-kun manga. Her role is the same as in Super Mario Galaxy, although she is very ill.
Mario Kart series
Mario Kart 7
Honey Queen is an unlockable playable character in Mario Kart 7. Honey Queen is unlocked by winning the 150cc Banana Cup. She is significantly shrunken down from Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel to fit in karts. Honey Queen has one of the best speed and weight boosts, due to being a heavyweight character. Honey Queen has her own battle course, the Honeybee Hive, and a signature kart, the Bumble V. Additionally, her Birthday Girl and Peach Parasol are colored purple, akin to Daisy and Rosalina, also using their signature colors for these items. Her emblem consists of a small bee with a crown in the place of its head.
Mario Kart Tour
While Honey Queen does not appear in Mario Kart Tour, her emblem appears on a badge.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Honey Queen is a master spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. She runs a Dojo where spirits can learn the "Big-Bee Style", which increases defense, jump, and weight, but decreases offense and move speed.
Dr. Mario World
Honey Queen appears as one of the randomly obtained assistants in staffing in Dr. Mario World. She was added to the game's pool of assistants in the October 4th, 2019 update. Her stage mode effect is to transform an object (mainly viruses) into a skill charger, where it is 10% at the first level and 50% at the maximum level. Her versus mode effect is to also transform a random object (mainly viruses), though the chance it activates is greater, at 30% at the first level and 70% at the maximum level.

Queen Bee | When Queen Bee has a request, it's hard not to oblige. She's quite comfortable in her home in the Honeyhive Galaxy, except for a persistent itch on her back that she just can't seem to scratch. Mario can help when he "powers up" into Bee Mario and crawls around on her back. In the process of helping Queen Bee, Mario finds five Star Chips, which will create a Launch Star that leads him to a Power Star! |
