 ==History==
 ===''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''===
-Heavy Zeds can be used as platforms. When [[Mario]] approaches a Heavy Zed, it wakes up, and he can then stand on top of it to be carried to another area. A similar role is served by other owls in later games, such as [[Hoot]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and the [[owl]]s from ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]''.

A similar role is served by other owls in later games, such as [[Hoot]] from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and the [[owl (species)|owls]] from ''[[Wario Land II]]'' and ''[[Wario Land 3]]''.
 ===''Super Mario-kun''===
 A singular Heavy Zed appears in volumes 7 and 10 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. While fighting a [[Battle Beetle]], Mario avoids its punch which hits a branch from which a sleeping Heavy Zed falls, without waking up, squashing the Battle Beetle. While keeping it awake, Mario and [[Carrot]] fly on its back to reach the [[Big Bird]]'s nest. Later, seeing them in difficulty, the Heavy Zed brings a [[Bell (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|bonus bell]] and, by hitting it, summons a [[Fire Flower]] from the [[Goal (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins)|Mario Catcher minigame]]. With the flower, Mario beats the Big Bird and the three then look for the Golden Coin inside the Big Bird's eggs. The Heavy Zed finds it, but falls asleep. In volume 10, after Mario manages to break [[Wario]]'s hypnosis on the Mario Land inhabitants, [[Luigi]] collects the inhabitants and, riding the Heavy Zed, they reach Mario in time to cheer for him as an audience during the final battle.
