Fuzzy (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)

Red Yoshi dizzy with dilated pupils after touching a Fuzzy.

Red Yoshi encountering a series of Fuzzies.

A Fuzzy is a floating, furry, spore-like creature found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and the sole member of the Dudim Phreykunoutonthis enemy group. When Yoshi made contact or ate a Fuzzy, he would get dizzy, and the whole level would suffer the effects. While in this state, Yoshi may have a hard time walking and aiming eggs, and it will be especially difficult to understand the map well, as the whole background will flash rainbow colors, move and twist around. Fuzzies always appear in large groups and hover all over the field.

They 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!!" and "Beware the Spinning Logs", and their effects there are more hazardous, due to the abundance of abysses in those levels.

Trivia

• A Sammer Guy in Super Paper Mario is called "Staggering Dizzy Fuzzy" as a reference to Fuzzies.
• Oddly, Yoshi can avoid the dizzy effects by crouching.
• The effects of touching Fuzzies may parody the stereotypical visual, mental and physical effects of popular psychedelic drugs such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms.
