Template:Species-infobox Beezos (トンダリヤ, or "Tondariya" in Japan), also known as Shy Aways in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, are a sub-species of Shy Guys that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 2. This sub-species appears to use tridents as weapons. They also have insect like wings on their back, which allow them to fly.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 2
Beezos first appeared in this game, Super Mario Bros. 2. They appeared in three different colors: red, green and gray, which were all simple pallet-swaps. They attacked by charging towards the player in flight while wielding tridents as weapons.
They normally appeared in large groups, and seemingly had an infinite number due to their not disappearing until the player leaves the portion of the level they appear in.
There were two ways to defeat a Beezo. The players could throw Vegetables or other objects at one, or jump on them, picking it up, and throwing it.
Beezos reappeared in Super Mario Bros. 2's remake, Super Mario Advance, in which they acted the same, with the only difference being that they were then colored red and yellow. If the player defeats a single Beezo, the player would acquire 4000 points total.
Super Mario cartoons
Beezos made several appearances in The Super Mario Bros Super Show!, usually serving as guards. In the episode "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em", instead of working for King Koopa as usual, they worked for Queen Rotunda. Near the beginning of the episode, they attacked Mario and his friends, only to be defeated by vegetables.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Template:Smrpgenemy Beezos appeared in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars under the name "Shy Away". They could be found at Land's End and Bean Valley. Although they commanded impressive magical abilities, most Shy Aways choose to run away from intruders instead of fighting them in this game. Additionally, Shy Aways now show a love of watering plants, especially the kind that will attack others for them.
One specific Shy Away worked for Valentina during her reign in Nimbus Land. This Shy Away was tasked with blocking the entrance to Nimbus Land, preventing any interference to Valentina's plan. This Shy Away grew a Smilax to block the pipe leading to Nimbus Land. After Mario defeated this first Smilax, Shy Away reappeared and grew two more. Eventually, Shy Away created the Megasmilax, a gigantic Piranha Plant with magical abilities. Ultimately Mario prevailed over the plant monster, thus causing Shy Away to run away (and accidentally drop the important Seed item).
Shy Away retreats to Nimbus Land. Once there, he is ordered by Valentina to provide nutrients to Birdo. Mario meets up with Shy Away again, and the flying gardener tries to flee a second time. However, the door leading out of Birdo's room is locked, preventing Shy Away's escape. In fact, Birdo holds the key to the door. Thus Mario has to "play" with her (i.e. battle her) to receive the key and open the door.
Once Mario opens the door, Shy Away flies to the throne room, warning Valentina and Dodo of Mario's arrival. After warning her, Shy Away 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, Shy Away attempts to escape Nimbus Land for good (through an invisible path off the clouds), but Mario catches him, and he gives Mario the Fertilizer item. The Fertilizer and Seed can be used together in the greenhouse in Rose Town for a beanstalk leading to the Lazy Shell weapon and the Lazy Shell armor.
Trivia
