'''Applebies''' are a species of ground-dwelling creatures that originate from the [[Wario Land (series)|''Wario Land'' series]]. They are introduced in ''[[Wario Land 3]]'' and serve as relatively common enemies throughout the game. One member of the Appleby species also appears in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' as a playable character and a boss in story mode. | |||
Applebies are usually found looking out of holes in either walls or the ground, which generally leaves their bodies partially obscured. In the instances their full body is visible (when knocked out of a hole), their lower body is seen to end in a tail, with no hind limbs. Applebies greatly resemble {{wp|Mexican mole lizard|mole lizards}} in appearance and habitat. | |||
In each game incarnation, Applebies are associated with apples in some way, which is where they received their name from. | In each game incarnation, Applebies are associated with apples in some way, which is where they received their name from. | ||

In this game, Applebies are stationary enemies. They will look around from above, and if they see Wario, they will emerge from the hole to throw an apple and then make a face, before retracting back into it. When an apple is caught by Wario, he will eat it and become [[Fat Wario]]. If Wario is above an Appleby, they will not see him and thus will not pop out. If Wario bumps into them, they will retract into their hiding hole without throwing an apple. They can be defeated by using a [[Dash Attack]], a [[Ground Pound|Smash Attack]], or touch them with an invincible reaction like [[Vampire Wario]]. Besides Appleby, the [[Doughnuteer]] can also cause the Fat Wario reaction, though they use doughnuts instead. | |||
Applebies appear in the following levels, in the following quantities: | |||

An Applely appears in ''Dr. Mario 64''. In Story mode, Wario faces him as his fourth opponent. During the events of the pursuit of [[Mad Scienstein]] by both [[Dr. Mario]] and Wario, Appleby is happily holding an apple over his head until Mad Scienstein knocks it off, followed by Dr. Mario kicking it away as he runs, causing him to be saddened. Wario, who is not far behind, is revealed to have eaten the apple that flew off (though he didn't become Fat Wario), causing Appleby to be angry at him for his actions, thus triggering the battle. As an opponent in Vs. mode, Appleby has the second-lowest AI level, tying with [[Silky]], [[Jellybob (Wario Land 3)|Jellybob]], and [[Octo]]. | |||
