[[File:DizzyYoshi.gif|thumb|A [[Yoshi (species)|Red Yoshi]] dizzy with dilated pupils after touching a Fuzzy]]
When a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] makes contact with or eats a Fuzzy, it gets dizzy, and the whole [[level]] is affected. While in this state, the Yoshi may have a hard time walking and aiming [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]], the music is slowed down and distorted, and it is especially difficult to understand the map well, as the whole background flashes rainbow colors, moves, and twists around; this is especially hazardous in areas with [[pit]]s. Fuzzies always appear in large groups and hover all over the field. A Yoshi can avoid the dizzy effects by [[crouch]]ing. The instant Fuzzies are eaten by a Yoshi, they make it produce a cloud of gas that can defeat enemies behind it instead of laying an egg.<ref>{{cite|author=MarioBrothBlog|date=June 10, 2021|url=x.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1403032561308295174|title=Video of the effect|publisher=X|accessdate=August 19, 2021}}</ref>

Fuzzies have their own level named after them: [[Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy]], which is also the first level to feature them. Fuzzies also appear in [[GO! GO! MARIO!!]], [[Beware The Spinning Logs]], and [[Fight Toadies w/ Toadies]] (the last of which appears only in the reissue).
