“This is a Crazee Dayzee. Crazee Dayzees look cute, but you won't think they're so cute after they attack you!”
Goombario, Paper Mario

Crazee Dayzees are flower-like enemies that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

HistoryEdit

Yoshi's Island seriesEdit

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3Edit

Crazee Dayzees' first appearance is in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where they act as minor recurring enemies throughout the game and can have either white or yellow petals. Crazee Dayzees behave identically to Shy-Guys in terms of behavior—however, they can survive being swallowed and spat out, unless they collide with another enemy. An uncommon variation with purple petals that spits out bubbles known as Bubble Dayzee can also be found in some levels.

Yoshi's Island DSEdit

Crazee Dayzees reappear in Yoshi's Island DS, where they act as they did in the previous game. They are found in many levels, including Ba-dum BUM!, Hit the M Blocks!, Mario's Fleet Feet, Baby Mario and Baby Peach: Dynamic Duo and Donuts and Eggs. Notably, the Bubble Dayzees do not appear in this game.

Yoshi's New IslandEdit

Crazee Dayzees reappear in Yoshi's New Island and behave identically as in the first two games.

Paper Mario seriesEdit

Crazee Dayzees in the Paper Mario series all have lavender petals and purple feet, potentially inspired by Bubble Dayzee's design.

Paper MarioEdit

In Paper Mario, Crazee Dayzees first appear as enemies in Flower Fields, where they attack Mario on sight and often fight alongside Bzzaps! and Ruff Puffs. They typically attack by singing, putting Mario to sleep. They will flee from battle when Mario gets their HP low enough. A rare variant known as the Amazy Dayzee first appears in this game, which has higher HP, and much higher attack in comparison.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year DoorEdit

Crazee Dayzees, along with Amazy Dayzees, make a return appearance in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. In this game, they can be found along the Twilight Trail near Twilight Town. Like in the previous installment, they attack by singing, putting Mario or his partner to sleep (while also piercing defense), and flee from battle at low HP. Amazy Dayzees also appear in the lower levels of the Pit of 100 Trials and alongside other enemies in Twilight Trail. Starting with Twilight Trail, Crazee Dayzees can start appearing in the audience; if one sings, it will put a large swath of audience members to sleep for a short period. A Crazee Dayzee with green petals and blue feet, known as Hayzee, appears as Luigi's ally. He joined Luigi on his adventure to assemble the Marvelous Compass after being impressed by Luigi's portrayal of "grass" in a play. Hayzee is from a town of Crazee Dayzees known as Jazzafrazz Town, which is the first time that a Crazee Dayzee is shown to be an ally, rather than just a simple enemy.

Super Paper MarioEdit

Crazee Dayzees return in Super Paper Mario. They can be found in the Dotwood Tree and rooms 26 and 58 of the Flipside Pit of 100 Trials. When they sing, a musical note fires from them towards the player like a projectile and puts them to sleep when hit. Its stronger variety, the Amazy Dayzee, also returns.

MinecraftEdit

In the Super Mario Mash-up for Minecraft, Cornflowers are replaced by Crazee Dayzees.

Super Smash Bros. UltimateEdit

A Crazee Dayzee appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

  • Shogakukan guide: 白と黄色のパソジーさんは、口笛を吹きながらスキップをしているだけ。紫のパソジーさんは、シャボン玉を吹いている。これに当たるとはじかれるが、食べればシャボン玉を吹けるようになる。[1] (The white and yellow Crazee Dayzees whistle as they merely skip along. The purple Crazee Dayzees blow soap bubbles. These cause bouncing when hit, but eating them will allow soap bubbles to be blown.)
  • Player's Guide: This space cadet likes to hum "If you're going to Yoshi's Island, wear some flowers in your hair."[2]
  • Shogakukan guide (Game Boy Advance version): しろ黄色きいろのものは、口笛くちぶえをふきながらスキップしているだけ。むらさきのパンジーさんがふくシャボンだまべると、ジャボンだまがふける。[3] (The white and yellow ones whistle and just skip along. The purple Crazee Dayzees blow soap bubbles which if eaten, allow soap bubbles to be blown.)

Yoshi's New IslandEdit

  • Shogakukan guide: 花のような敵で、ゆっくりと地上を歩く。中には、泡を吐き出してくるものもいる。正面から泡に触れると後方に押し戻されるが、ダメージは受けない。[4] (They are flower-like enemies, and they walk slowly on the ground. Some of them spit out bubbles. If you touch the bubbles from the front, you will be pushed backward, but you will not be damaged.)

Log This fleet-footed flower foe is super-cute, and it sings one hypnotically sleepy lullaby.
Tattle That's a Crazee Dayzee. It may look totally cute, but it's a serious foe. Max HP is 7, Attack is 2, and Defense is 0. What you gotta worry about is its lullaby. That tune will totally zonk you out. If you manage to guard well, though, you might not pass out. Try to learn the timing. Oh, and when its HP runs low, it runs away, so try to KO it in one fell swoop.
