Stingby

Stingbies are enemies appearing in Super Mario 3D Land for the Nintendo 3DS. They're small bees with large eyes and their stinger is located on their face.

''Super Mario 3D Land
Stingbies make their debut in Super Mario 3D Land. They are common in levels taking place in the sky or over large pits. Stingbies fly at a certain height and cannot move up or down, rather they patrol the area in search of Mario or Luigi. When a Stingby spots Mario or Luigi, they will slowly chase after them. Due to their flying limitations though, a Stingby cannot move up or down to chase the plumbers. These enemies can be easily defeated by any form of attack.

''Mario Kart 7
Stingbies make another appearance in Mario Kart 7. They serve as enemies in the battle course, Honeybee Hive. They have a darker color than in Super Mario 3D Land.

Trivia

 * They slightly resemble Diggas from Super Mario Galaxy 2.
