Para-Biddybuds (alternatively written as Parabiddybuds[1]), also known as Winged Biddybuds,[2] are variants of Biddybuds that first appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They resemble multicolored ladybugs with bird-like wings.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
Para-Biddybuds are enemies in Super Mario 3D Land. They are encountered in groups and fly in circles or in lines. Some groups are seen one above the other or one after the other. Mario can defeat them with any attack, just like Goombas. They generally appear in groups of five, though there are some levels in which less than that number are shown together or they appear individually.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]
Para-Biddybuds are enemies in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port. They behave identically as in Super Mario 3D Land. Cat variants appear in Lake Lapcat in the port's Bowser's Fury side-story.
Super Mario Maker[edit]
Para-Biddybuds are referenced in Super Mario Maker by appearing on the icon of the Event Course Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which uses key art from the game on which it is based.
Mario Party series[edit]
Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]
Many Para-Biddybuds populate the Star-Crossed Skyway board in Mario Party: Island Tour. However, they do not affect gameplay. A pink one also appears as a tile in the minigame Match Faker.
Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]
Para-Biddybuds reappear in Super Mario Party Jamboree in the minigame Squeaky Shakedown where they are present in the background, and can occasionally appear in the minigame Camera-Ready. They are also featured in the Paratroopa Flight School mode and appear in Sky Battle (where the main objective is to try to gather as many of them as possible and steal them from the other player) and Free Flight.
Mario Kart series[edit]
Despite Para-Biddybuds themselves not appearing in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a kart designed after a Para-Biddybud appears, known as the Biddybuggy. Said kart later reappears in Mario Kart Tour. It has five different color schemes depending on the character driving it, two of which appear in Tour. The Biddybuggy appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
A Para-Biddybud Mii Racing Suit appears in Mario Kart Tour starting in the 2023 Doctor Tour. This suit later appears in the sixth wave of the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Wave 5 of the Booster Pass also introduced the course Squeaky Clean Sprint, a bathroom-themed course that features an alarm clock styled after a Para-Biddybud as part of its scenery.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker[edit]
Para-Biddybuds are enemies in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and its Nintendo Switch and Nintendo 3DS. They appear in certain stages such as Drop-Road Dash. Para-Biddybuds can be defeated from a turnip or being landed on.
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]
Para-Biddybuds are usable troops in the Bowser Jr.'s Journey mode in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey. Red, green, yellow, and blue color variants can be used, and each has a different Special Skill. Despite their coloration, blue Para-Biddybuds are referred to as purple in this game. They are flying troopers. Red Para-Biddybuds have Dive Attack and are strong against Fawfulcopters, green Para-Biddybuds have Super Stomp, yellow Para-Biddybuds have Cranium Crush, and purple Para-biddybuds have Mega Tackle and are strong against Shy Guys and Bandits. All four variants are weak against red Koopa Troopas and Fly Guys.
Profiles and statistics[edit]
Super Mario 3D Land[edit]
- North American website bio: "These colorful critters often come in fives, bobbing along and minding their own business. If you manage to stomp on all five without hitting the ground, a 1UP is all yours."
- European website bio: "These enemies are always found floating together in long rows, determined to get in Mario's way."
