'''Beezos''', also known as '''Shy Aways''' in the original version of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', are a species of [[Shy Guy]]s that first appeared in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Beezos use bidents as weapons and have insect-like wings on their back, which allow them to fly. The name is likely a portmanteau of "bee" and "bozo".
==History==
===''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''===

Beezos first appeared in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', allied with [[Wart]] and the mysterious [[8 bits]]. They are present in two different varieties, those being a red type, and a type that appears green or gray depending on location. They attack by flying towards the player. The red type will dive at [[Mario]] while the gray/green type charges straight forward at set heights. Beezos first appear in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 1-2]].

Beezos normally appear in large groups and seemingly have an infinite number due to not disappearing until the player leaves the portion of the level they appear in.

There are two ways to defeat a Beezo. The player can throw [[vegetable]]s or other objects at one, or jump on one, pick it up, and throw it. Unlike other enemies, players do not stay on Beezos they land on, and must move along with them so they do not fall off.

Beezos reappear in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''{{'}}s [[Reissue|enhanced re-releases]], ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', in which they act the same, with the only difference being that they are recolored: the red ones became yellow, while the gray/green ones became red, with their original red and gray robe colors being used on their shoes respectively. In the latter version, which only has yellow Beezos, defeating a single Beezo gives 4000 [[point]]s. Much like Shy Guys, their artwork still colors their shoes white.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
[[File:SMBSSBeezo.jpg|thumb|A Beezo, dressed as a knight, from the ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode, "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em".]]
Beezos make several appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', usually serving as guards, and attacking in large swarms. In the episode "[[Love 'Em and Leave 'Em]]", instead of working for [[Bowser|King Koopa]] as usual, they work for [[Queen Rotunda]]. Near the beginning of the episode, they attack Mario and his friends, only to be defeated by vegetables. In the episode "[[The Fire of Hercufleas]]", the Beezos steal the "[[Great Balls of Fire]]" from Hercufleas. When the Mario Brothers, Toad, Princess Toadstool, and Hercufleas go to get the "Great Balls of Fire" back, the Beezos get stuck in a bowl of melted marshmallows.

{{quote|Look what [[Mario|you]] did! Smilax's been whacked. Oooh, I'm going to get it! [[Valentina|Queen Valentina]] told me to keep everyone out of [[Nimbus Land]]. What should I do? I know—I'll run away!|Beezo|''[[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Super Mario RPG]]''}}
Beezos appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', originally under the name "Shy Away". They are found at [[Land's End]] and [[Bean Valley]]. Although Beezos command impressive magical abilities, most choose to [[flee|run away]] from intruders instead of fighting them in this game. Additionally, Beezos now show a love of watering plants, especially the kind that attacks others for them.

[[File:SMRPG Shy Away Smilax.png|thumb|left|The Beezo watering Smilax]]
One specific Beezo works for [[Valentina]] during her reign in [[Nimbus Land]]. This Beezo is tasked with blocking the entrance to Nimbus Land, preventing any interference to Valentina's plan. This Beezo grows a [[Smilax]] bud to block the pipe leading to Nimbus Land. After Mario defeats this first bud, Beezo reappears and grows two more. Eventually, Beezo creates [[Smilax|Megasmilax]], a gigantic [[Piranha Plant]]. Ultimately, Mario prevails over the plant monster, thus causing Beezo to run away and accidentally drop the important [[Seed (Super Mario RPG)|Seed]].

Beezo retreats to Nimbus Land. Once there, he is ordered by Valentina to provide nutrients to [[Birdo]]. Mario meets up with Beezo again, who tries to flee a second time. However, the door leading out of the room is locked, preventing Beezo's escape. Once Mario opens the door by defeating Birdo, Beezo flies to the throne room, warning Valentina and [[Dodo]] of Mario's arrival. After warning her, Beezo flees for a third time and is followed by Valentina and Dodo, who also do not wish to fight.

After Valentina and Dodo are defeated, Beezo attempts to escape Nimbus Land for good (through an invisible path off of the clouds), but Mario catches him, and he gives Mario the [[Fertilizer]].

The [[Flying Snifit]] of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' is similar to Beezo, both in appearance and affinity to gardening.

In the Nintendo Switch [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] of the game, they are properly called Beezos.

==Trivia==
*The ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' manual contains entries for both a red and gray Beezo.<ref name=DDP/> However, the accompanying screenshot appears somewhat pink-tinted due to the low quality. The ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' manual labels it as pink and retains the screenshot,<ref name=SMB2>''Super Mario Bros. 2'' English instruction booklet. {{media link|Gray Beezo SMB2 manual.jpg|Page 24 (early copies).}}</ref> although some copies of the former also change the color of the artwork to somewhat match,<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet. {{media link|Beezopink.png|Page 24 (later copies).}}</ref> which was kept in the ''Super Mario USA'' manual.<ref name=SMUSA/>
*Despite the artwork showing a mouth on the Beezo's mask, this feature does not appear in the enemy's sprites in any version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''; it does, however, appear in ''Super Mario RPG''.
*Concept artwork for the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]] [[:File:DinohattenConcept.jpg|shows a neon sign]] in [[Dinohattan]] saying "Beezo Blast". It is not present in the final film.
