Parabuzzies (originally referred to as Para-Beetles) are flying Buzzy Beetles that first appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3. Mario and Luigi can hop on their back for a ride allowing him to traverse air levels (making them one of the very few "enemies" that cannot be defeated by jumping on them). They are found only in Sky Land's level 5-6. Jumping on a stationary Parabeetle will slightly lower it, though it will gradually rise upwards again. The mobile Para-Beetles soar quick through the skies, making it harder for them plumber to cross. Also there was a Green Para-Beetle that appeared via Game Genie Codes, the Green Para-Beetles are faster than their Red siblings.
