Para-Biddybuds (alternatively written as Parabiddybuds[1]), also known as Winged Biddybuds,[2] are variants of Biddybuds that first appear in Super Mario 3D Land. They resemble multicolored ladybugs with bird-like wings.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario 3D Land[edit]

A group artwork of Para-Biddybuds from Super Mario 3D Land.

Para-Biddybuds are enemies in Super Mario 3D Land. They are encountered in groups and fly in circles or in lines. Some groups are seen one above the other or one after the other. Mario can defeat them with any attack, just like Goombas. They generally appear in groups of five, though there are some levels in which less than that number are shown together or they appear individually.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury[edit]

Para-Biddybuds are enemies in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port. They behave identically as in Super Mario 3D Land. Cat variants appear in Lake Lapcat in the port's Bowser's Fury side-story.

Super Mario Maker[edit]

Para-Biddybuds are referenced in Super Mario Maker by appearing on the icon of the Event Course Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, which uses key art from the game on which it is based.

Mario Party: Island Tour[edit]

Many Para-Biddybuds populate the Star-Crossed Skyway board in Mario Party: Island Tour. However, they do not affect gameplay. A pink one also appears as a tile in the minigame Match Faker.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Despite Para-Biddybuds themselves not appearing in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a kart designed after a Para-Biddybud appears, known as the Biddybuggy. Said kart later reappears in Mario Kart Tour. It has five different color schemes depending on the character driving it, two of which appear in Tour. The Biddybuggy appears as a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

A Para-Biddybud Mii Racing Suit appears in Mario Kart Tour starting in the 2023 Doctor Tour. This suit later appears in the sixth wave of the Booster Course Pass DLC for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
