'''Fuzzies''', also called '''Fuzzles''',<ref>''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 28, p. 15</ref> are small, black-furred creatures with unusual, spiky bodies. They possess two strabismus eyes and large teeth. Despite displaying some level of intelligence and the ability to speak, Fuzzies are, for the most part, erratic creatures. Fuzzies made their debut in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

Fuzzies first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as particularly rare enemies found circling blocks or the wire-like constructs floating in mid-air. They first appear in the same level where [[ON/OFF Switch]]es first appear, [[Donut Plains 3]]. Fuzzies do not directly attack [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and only do damage if their paths happen to intersect. The ones circling around blocks can be defeated, either by [[Yoshi]] or by tossing (or kicking) a [[Koopa Shell]] at them. [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] can also use his Body Press against them. Fuzzies are among the few enemies not shown during the game's end credits.

Although absent from the first ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Fuzzies, along with bigger versions called [[Big Fuzzy|Big Fuzzies]], neither of which were named in the Prima Games guidebook, reappear in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' where they are found in Worlds 7 and 9. They act the same way as they did in ''Super Mario World''. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'' though, they can be defeated by being frozen and shattering the block of ice they are trapped in or blasting them with [[fireball]]s as [[Fire Mario]]. Fuzzies can also be found on wires and are mostly in sky levels. They appear in [[World 7-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-3]], [[World 9-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-5]], and [[World 9-8 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-8]]. They are usually found in big groups, and they also do flips when they jump from one wire onto another.

Fuzzies reappear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. In this game, they have the ability to move without the aid of a line. They are generally found in [[Shadow-Play Alley]] and moving through and around [[Clear Pipe]]s. Like in previous games, they are almost invincible, as they can only be defeated by a [[Super Star]], [[Lucky Cat Mario]], or a [[Potted Piranha Plant]]. [[Fuzzy Horde]]s also make an appearance in [[Fuzzy Time Mine]]. They have a regional variant that features cat ears and a tail found in ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', specifically in [[Risky Whisker Island]]. Here, a potted Cat Piranha Plant must be taken around the lighthouse to eat the Cat Fuzzies and award Mario with a [[Cat Shine]].

Fuzzies reappear once again in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they can be found in the [[Metro Kingdom]], [[Lake Kingdom]], [[Wooded Kingdom]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]], [[Moon Kingdom]], and the [[Darker Side]]. They can travel on electrical wires and [[track]]s. In the Lost Kingdom, Mushroom Kingdom, and Moon Kingdom, they can be found in 8-bit segments, using their sprites from ''Super Mario World''. They can also come out of the wall, connected in a line. This makes them the only enemies in the 8-bit segments that do not originate in ''Super Mario Bros.''

Fuzzies make a return appearance in ''[[Paper Mario]]'', which reveals a large group of them inhabiting the woods behind [[Koopa Village]]. Fuzzies attack by draining [[Heart Point|HP]] from [[Mario]]. Outside of battle, they move about by hopping, and can secrete webs from their bodies to hang from in a similar manner to {{wp|silkworm}}s or {{wp|spider}}s. When Mario first reaches Koopa Village, he finds it under attack by a horde of Fuzzies who are harassing the [[Koopa Troopa]] inhabitants of the village. After Mario defeats the apparent leader of the Fuzzies, who stole the Blue Shell of [[Kooper]], the Fuzzies "promise" to behave and stop attacking the village, at least for a while. A Fuzzy can also be fought in [[Shy Guy's Toy Box]] if [[Princess Peach]] tells [[Bowser]] that a Fuzzy is one of Mario's worst fears, [[Kammy Koopa]] then warps one into the Toy Box to guard a [[treasure chest]] and defeat Mario.

There is a piece of [[Toad Town News]] that warns their invasion in Koopa Village.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', a Fuzzy appears on the logo for the sponsor [[Lists of sponsors|Fuzzy Battery]].

Fuzzies once again appear as cameos in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' on Fuzzy Battery signs, which can be seen in [[DS Waluigi Pinball|Waluigi Pinball]] and the new [[New York Minute]] courses.
