Three Biddybuds can be seen briefly walking by towards the beginning of The Super Mario Bros. Movie. They appear upon Mario's first meeting with Toad, causing a concerned and frightened Mario to jog away from them and follow Toad. They are featured in promotional posters for the film, including Mario's standalone poster. Unlike in the games, these Biddybuds are not part of the Koopa Troop, but are instead part of the Mushroom Kingdom's wildlife.
