Crazee Dayzee

"This is a Crazee Dayzee. Crazee Dayzees look cute, but you won't think they're so cute after they attack you!"

- Goombario

Crazee Dayzees are enemies that have appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They have also appeared in the Paper Mario series and the Yoshi's Island sequel, Yoshi's Island DS.

Characteristics
Crazee Dayzees appear to be anthropomorphic flowers. They have four purple or yellow petals circling their face. Their face always has a big smile and rosy cheeks. Their bodies are small compared to their heads, and are green. They have two small green arms, and two purple or blue feet. The legs often move rapidly when the Dayzee runs.

Traits and Abilities
Unlike many enemies in the Mario series, Crazee Dayzees are rather timid. When in peril, they prefer to run away than face the danger. They have little physical strength, although they have enough power to push Baby Mario off Yoshi's back. However, they can sing powerful lullabies that put their enemies to sleep. In the Yoshi series, they dance along and sing, but the song does not affect Yoshi. Their only difference from Shy Guys in this series is that they are not defeated if swallowed and spat out.

Leadership and Allegiance
Crazee Dazyees, unlike many enemies in the Mario series, do not appear to have an allegiance with any character or group. However, in the distant past, when Mario and Luigi were babies, they were allied with Kamek, who was then the leader of the Koopa Troop. At this point, they may not have developed their lullaby-singing skills, as their only battle technique was to dance along passively.

In the Paper Mario series, Crazee Dayzees appear to have no allegiance, although they may be allied with the Koopa Troop in Paper Mario. In said game, they appeared as foes in Flower Fields. It is possible that they were under the control of Huff N. Puff at this time, though it is unlikely, as Crazee Dayzees are plant creatures, at type of organism that the Ruff Puff leader seems to dislike. If anyone, they are likely under the control of Bowser.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Crazee Dayzees appear on the Twilight Trail, only in the forest portion. They appear to have no allegiance here. Thus, it is unknown why they attack passerby. It is possible that they consider Mario and his partners a threat and fight them off. However, they attempt to begin a battle in the field by running towards the red plumber.

A similar oddity exist for the Crazee Dayzees in Super Paper Mario. Here, they appear in the Dotwood Tree. Again, they appear to have no allegiance. It is unknown why they attack the player.

Culture
Crazee Dayzees rarely appear as allies in the series. Instead, they appear as simple enemies existing to attack the player. However, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Luigi explains that during his adventures in the Waffle Kingdom, he came upon a civilized town of Dayzees called Jazzafrazz Town. They live in peace, and their most important activity appears to be the Jazzafrazz Town Drama Slam, where Dayzees show off their singing and dancing skills by putting on plays. The winner of this event earns the Dramalama Plaque, which was, at least once, a piece of the Marvelous Compass. An example of these civilized Dayzees is Luigi's friend Hayzee.
