Bee Mario is a form ofMario andLuigi that debuts inSuper Mario Galaxy. When Mario takes this form, his hat becomes a brown helmet with yellow antennae, his overalls turn yellow with brown stripes, his shoes turn reddish-brown (Luigi's color scheme is reversed from this), and he grows a stinger (although it cannot damage enemies and is simply for decoration) and small wings, which allow Mario to take flight in a similar manner to ahoneybee for a short time.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy /Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
InSuper Mario Galaxy andSuper Mario Galaxy 2, Mario (or Luigi) take the Bee form by obtaining aBee Mushroom. When Mario flies, his fly gauge will decrease unless he refills it by collecting coins, clinging to honeycombs, or landing. The fastest way to refill the gauge while flying is to stomp on a non-playable character (including enemies) or ashell. Mario is also able to climb honeycombs and walk on flower petals and clouds. Mario will lose this form by taking damage or touching water, though it is possible for him to go underwater due to a glitch in theSea Slide Galaxy. Bee Mario is unable to hit ? Blocks, use advanced jump moves, and pick up shells. Also, his Spin radius will become smaller and honey with a yellow trail will replace the regular blue cosmic-looking spin trail.
Bee Mario (andBee Luigi) can be used in theHoneyhive Galaxy, theGold Leaf Galaxy, theSea Slide Galaxy, theSand Spiral Galaxy, and theHoneyclimb Galaxy. This ability returns inSuper Mario Galaxy 2, only usable inHoneybloom Galaxy,Honeyhop Galaxy, and in the game's credits after collecting 120stars.
When in Bee Mario form, if Mario is behind an object, his shadow is not in the shape of Bee Mario, but as normal Mario. This applies with all of Mario's forms in theSuper Mario Galaxy games.

| Do you hear that buzzing? Whatever could it...bee? Bee Mario! Finding a Bee Mushroom allows Mario to buzz around in the air, land on flowers, and stick to walls covered in honey. Oh, this is the bee's knees! However, Bee Mario can't sting his foes. But that's fine—you don't really want to be that kind of bee, do you?(American English) | ||
