|---|---|
 Sprite from Paper Mario | |
| First appearance | Paper Mario (2000) |
A Bzzap! is a bee enemy found mainly in Flower Fields in Paper Mario. It attacks by stinging its enemies. A Bzzap!'s sting sometimes poisons its target. They usually are found flying around in the open, where they swoop down in an attempt to sting Mario as a First Strike. A Bzzap! can also attack by summoning small bees to shrink Mario. They have high attack power, but it makes up for their absurdly low HP of 3.
Bzzaps! also appear at the end of Forever Forest in a beehive. Near the beehive is an HP Plus Badge. They are off the forest's main path in a second exit. By hitting the tree they are hanging on, Mario can coax the Bzzaps! out of hiding.
Bzzaps! and a smaller variant were going to appear in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but they were taken out of the game for unknown reasons.
