This article is about the dizzying Fuzzies from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. For the small, black enemies seen in some Mario platformer games with the same name, see Fuzzy.

A Fuzzy is a floating, furry, spore-like creature found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, and is the sole member of the Dudim Phreykunoutonthis enemy group. When Yoshi makes contact or eats a Fuzzy, he gets dizzy, and the whole level is affected. While in this state, Yoshi may have a hard time walking and aiming eggs, the music is slowed down and distorted, and it will be especially difficult to understand the map well, as the whole background will flash rainbow colors, move and twist around. Fuzzies always appear in large groups and hover all over the field. Yoshi can avoid the dizzy effects by crouching.

They have their own level named after them, 'Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy', which is also the first level to feature them. Fuzzies also appear in 'GO! GO! MARIO!!', 'Beware The Spinning Logs', and 'Fight Toadies w/ Toadies' (the latter being in the remake). Their effects there are more hazardous, due to the abundance of abysses in those levels.

Trivia[edit]

• A Sammer Guy in Super Paper Mario is called 'Staggering Dizzy Fuzzy' as a reference to Fuzzies.
• The effects of touching Fuzzies may parody the stereotypical visual, mental and physical effects of popular psychedelic drugs such as LSD or psilocybin mushrooms.

• Fuzzies were meant to appear in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, as indicated by sprites appearing in the same code as elements from Sky Garden. With GameShark codes, the player can make them appear on the track.

Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy is the seventh level in World 1 found in the game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, in which the player controls Red Yoshi for the first time. This level features the introduction of Tap-Taps, trademark enemies to the Yoshi franchise, as well as Fuzzies. It also features a new mini-game and minor enemies such as Mildes.

Overview[edit]

The player starts off in a jungle area with some branches extending out of the ground, that act as platforms. These lead to some Tap-Taps and a series of wooden platforms, with dirt near them. One of the dirt blocks contains a Key, which unlocks a Door that allows the player to play a minigame. After the wooden platforms is the Middle Ring. Not long after the Middle Ring, the player will encounter Fuzzies, which if touched will cause Yoshi to become dizzy and will affect his movement. After this section will be a platform, with two Mildes, which leads to the next room.

In the next room are several platforms that go down when the player stands on them, if they Ground Pound them the platform gets destroyed, at the end of the room is the goal roulette. Above the branch extending out of the path is some dirt that contains a spring ball, which is used to access a secret area. In the secret area are several Mufti Guys, Crazee Dayzees, an Eggo-Dil and a Chomp Rock. The Chomp Rock needs to be used to reveal an invisible Winged Cloud that contains a seed that creates a Beanstalk that leads to some cloud platforms that have Red Coins and another Winged Cloud on them.
