Relatives

Fuzzlers[1] areenemies inSuper Mario 3D World andSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. These relatives betweenFuzzies andWigglers appear in only one course—theWorld 3 courseSwitchboard Falls. They are made up of yellow, orange, and golden spiky balls that damage the player upon contact. Fuzzlers always appear onSwitchboard tracks, and they roll along thetracks in a set path. Two or more Fuzzlers usually appear in a track network, each one going in a separate direction. When Fuzzlers collide, they start moving in the other direction. They can be defeated only withInvincible Mario,White Tanooki Mario, andLucky Cat Mario. In theBowser's Fury campaign, Fuzzlers with cat-like ears and tails appear onMount Magmeow. Several cat Fuzzlers can briefly be seen without their spikes rendering in the cutscene that plays upon the player activating the "Hurry! Steer the Switchboards!"Cat Shine on Mount Magmeow.
