'''Beezos''' (トンダリヤ, or "Tondariya" in Japan), also known as '''Shy Aways''' in [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], are a sub-species of [[Shy Guy]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. This sub-species appears to use tridents as weapons. They also have insect like wings on their back, which allow them to fly.


The Beezos attack by charging towards the player. They normally appear in large groups. There is an seemingly infinite number of Beezos and thus, they won't disappear until the player leaves the portion of the level they appear in.

Shy Aways live at [[Land's End]], as well as [[Bean Valley]]. Although they command impressive magical abilities, most Shy Aways choose to run away from intruders instead of fighting them. Additionally, Shy Aways now show a love of watering plants - they will often plant other monsters to fight for them in order to avoid battle.


One specific Shy Away worked for [[Valentina]] during her reign in [[Nimbus Land]]. This Shy Away was tasked with blocking the entrance to Nimbus Land, preventing any interference to Valentina's plan. Thus, Shy Away traveled to Bean Valley, growing a [[Smilax]], effectively blocking the pipe leading to Nimbus Land. After [[Mario]] defeats the first Smilax, Shy Away reappears and grows two more. Eventually, Shy Away creates the [[Megasmilax]], a gigantic [[Piranha Plant]] with magical abilities. Ultimately Mario prevails over the plant monster, thus causing Shy Away to run away (and accidentally drop his important Seed).

Thus Mario has to "play" with her (i.e. battle her) to receive the key and open the door.

Eventually Mario and company catch up with Valentina and Dodo. The villainous duo are then soundly defeated by the hero plumber and his allies. Afterwards, Mario can find Shy Away hiding on an invisible path off the edge of Nimbus Land. Hoping to avoid a fight, Shy Away gives Mario the [[Fertilizer]] and then runs away.
If Mario gives the Seed and Fertilizer to the [[Gardener]] in [[Rose Town]], Mario will receive the [[Weapons (SMRPG)|Lazy Shell]] weapon, [[Mario]]'s ultimate weapon, and the Lazy Shell armor, the best defensive armor in the game.

Beezos first appeared in this game, Super Mario Bros. 2. They appeared in three different colors: red, green and gray, which were all simple pallet-swaps. They attacked by charging towards the player in flight while wielding tridents as weapons.

The two new-colored Beezos debuted in Super Mario Advance.

They normally appeared in large groups, and seemingly had an infinite number due to their not disappearing until the player leaves the portion of the level they appear in.

There were two ways to defeat a Beezo. The players could throw Vegetables or other objects at one, or jump on them, picking it up, and throwing it.

Beezos reappeared in Super Mario Bros. 2's remake, Super Mario Advance, in which they acted the same, with the only difference being that they were then colored red and yellow. If the player defeats a single Beezo, the player would acquire 4000 points total.

Beezos made several appearances in The Super Mario Bros Super Show!, usually serving as guards. In the episode "Love 'Em and Leave 'Em", instead of working for King Koopa as usual, they worked for Queen Rotunda. Near the beginning of the episode, they attacked Mario and his friends, only to be defeated by vegetables.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Template:Smrpgenemy Beezos appeared in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars under the name "Shy Away". They could be found at Land's End and Bean Valley. Although they commanded impressive magical abilities, most Shy Aways choose to run away from intruders instead of fighting them in this game. Additionally, Shy Aways now show a love of watering plants, especially the kind that will attack others for them.

One specific Shy Away worked for Valentina during her reign in Nimbus Land. This Shy Away was tasked with blocking the entrance to Nimbus Land, preventing any interference to Valentina's plan. This Shy Away grew a Smilax to block the pipe leading to Nimbus Land. After Mario defeated this first Smilax, Shy Away reappeared and grew two more. Eventually, Shy Away created the Megasmilax, a gigantic Piranha Plant with magical abilities. Ultimately Mario prevailed over the plant monster, thus causing Shy Away to run away (and accidentally drop the important Seed item).

Shy Away retreats to Nimbus Land. Once there, he is ordered by Valentina to provide nutrients to Birdo. Mario meets up with Shy Away again, and the flying gardener tries to flee a second time. However, the door leading out of Birdo's room is locked, preventing Shy Away's escape. In fact, Birdo holds the key to the door. Thus Mario has to "play" with her (i.e. battle her) to receive the key and open the door.

Once Mario opens the door, Shy Away flies to the throne room, warning Valentina and Dodo of Mario's arrival. After warning her, Shy Away flees for a third time (and is followed by Valentina and Dodo, who also do not wish to fight).
