Biddybud
Template:Species-infobox Biddybuds are common enemies appearing in Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario 3D World, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. They resemble multicolored ladybugs and act like regular Goombas, though they don't chase Mario and Luigi when they're in sight, making them more like Goombas from the 2D games.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario 3D Land
Biddybuds first appear in World 1-3. They appear in five different colors: red, blue, green, yellow, and pink. They mainly appear in groups of two to five and walk in a set pattern, often circular. Mario can defeat them with any type of attack. They also have a sub-species called Para-Biddybuds, which have wings and fly, similar to a Paragoomba. They are a common enemy, but not as common as Goombas are.
Super Mario 3D World
Biddybuds also appear in Super Mario 3D World. They look and behave exactly like they do in Super Mario 3D Land, though they are less common than they were originally. They also appear in larger groups than in Super Mario 3D Land.
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
While Biddybuds themselves do not appear in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a kart called the Biddybuggy based on them and their flying counterparts appears in the game.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Biddybuds reappear as enemies in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, acting as the same way in the past games.
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Biddybuds appear in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam as enemies. They appear in Sunbeam Plains and later Mount Brrr. They always battle in stacks. Biddybuds can attack by walking into one of the Mario Bros. in a straight line, or they can attack by walking in a stack, occasionally stumbling, causing them to slow down briefly. If they are jumped on while walking in a stack, every Biddybud in the stack will take damage. If the player uses the Dropchopper, the entire stack of Biddybuds will all take damage in one piece.
Mario Tennis Aces
Biddybuds reappear in Mario Tennis Aces as nonplayable characters in the game's Adventure Mode.
