A Fuzzy is a floating, furry, spore-like creature found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, and is the sole member of the Dudim Phreykunoutonthis enemy group. When Yoshi makes contact or eats a Fuzzy, he gets dizzy, and the whole level is affected. While in this state, Yoshi may have a hard time walking and aiming eggs, the music is slowed down and distorted, and it will be especially difficult to understand the map well, as the whole background will flash rainbow colors, move and twist around; this is especially hazardous in areas with pits. Fuzzies always appear in large groups and hover all over the field. Yoshi can avoid the dizzy effects by crouching. If they are eaten by Yoshi, they make him produce a cloud of gas that can defeat enemies behind him instead of laying an egg[1].
They have their own level named after them, "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy", which is also the first level to feature them. Fuzzies also appear in "GO! GO! MARIO!!", "Beware The Spinning Logs", and "Fight Toadies w/ Toadies" (the latter being in the remake).

Trivia
- A Sammer Guy in Super Paper Mario is called "Staggering Dizzy Fuzzy" as a reference to Fuzzies.
- The effects of touching Fuzzies may parody the stereotypical visual, mental, and physical effects of popular psychedelic drugs such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms. This is even referenced in the German translation for "Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy", "Lustiges Sporen Drama" (German for "Funny Spore Drama").
- Fuzzies were meant to appear in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, as indicated by sprites appearing in the same code as elements from Sky Garden. With GameShark codes, the player can make them appear on the track.
