Sprixies are fairylike creatures appearing in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They are the inhabitants of the Sprixie Kingdom, ruled by the seven Sprixie Princesses. Sprixies bear some resemblance to the Subcons from both Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2.
Sprixies appear in various levels and areas of each world, providing assistance to Mario and company throughout the game. In certain areas, some appear with a pair of binoculars that (when viewed) shows the direction of the Goal Pole, similar to Binoculars in Super Mario 3D Land.
Sprixies also own and host the stamp-providing Sprixie Houses, the Mystery Houses, and the Lucky Houses.
