History

Super Mario series

Super Mario 3D Land

Para-Biddybuds make their first appearance in Super Mario 3D Land, where they're found 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 then that number are shown together or they appear individually.

Para-Biddybuds reappear in Super Mario 3D World. They act the same as they do in Super Mario 3D Land, appearing in groups that roam in a set pattern.

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.

Despite Para-Biddybuds not appearing in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a kart designed after a Para-Biddybud appears, known as the Biddybuggy. It has different color schemes depending on the character driving it.
