Honey is an obstacle in the Super Mario franchise that drastically reduces the jump height, and sometimes also the speed, of player characters.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Galaxy

Honey appears as a yellow goo-like substance in Super Mario Galaxy. It is found in the Honeyhive Galaxy, but only on a single path. It is very sticky, to the point where it causes Mario (or Luigi) to stick to it, making him able to do only low jumps. The honey path is part of the track Mario must travel across to reach the Power Star in the mission Honeyhive Cosmic Mario Race, where Cosmic Mario gets stuck in the honey.

Honeybees can be found gathering the honey in buckets, claiming it is heavy. Honey also appears on certain walls that Mario can stick to when in Bee form.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Honey reappears in Super Mario Bros. Wonder as part of the Wonder Effect used by Wonder Bowser Jr. when fought at the Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace, where it covers moving platforms to impede player characters' jumps and speed while occasionally being transformed into ice. The level's background also appears to be covered in honey when it appears on the moving platforms, but this has no effect on the player characters and Wonder Bowser Jr.

Mario Kart 7

Honey appears in Mario Kart 7 as large puddles in the Honeybee Hive battle course, where it drastically slows down the speed of any kart driving over it. Honey only appears on one of the seven rooms of the course.
