Sprixie

Sprixies are fairy-like creatures appearing in the upcoming Super Mario 3D World. They are the inhabitants of the Sprixie Kingdom, ruled by the Sprixie Princess. The name Sprixie is a portmanteau of "sprite" and "pixie," which are considered synonymous with "fairy". In addition, the design of the Sprixies also resembles that of Subcons, from Super Mario Bros. 2.

In Super Mario 3D World, Bowser enters the Sprixie Kingdom and captures the Sprixie Princess, as well as several other Sprixies in order to steal their treasure. Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad journey into the Sprixie Kingdom to defeat Bowser and save the Sprixies.

Trivia

 * The red Sprixie's dress is similar to Ribbon's dress in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
 * The Cyan Sprixie is somewhat similar to Cirno, an ice fairy from the Danmaku Video Game series "Touhou Project", at least in colour scheme.
 * The Sprixies share the same colors with the Star Pieces from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
 * Sprixies also bear resemblances to six Maidens from The Legend of Zelda series. Both Sprixies and Maidens are captured by main villains, led by the princess, their number being seven (including the princess herself), and some even share colors to each other.
