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 also appear in GO! GO! MARIO!!, Beware The Spinning Logs, and Fight Toadies w/ Toadies (the last of which appears only in the reissue). įuzzies have their own level named after them: Touch Fuzzy, Get Dizzy, which is also the first level to feature them. The instant Fuzzies are eaten by a Yoshi, they make it produce a cloud of gas that can defeat enemies behind it instead of laying an egg. A Yoshi can avoid the dizzy effects by crouching. Fuzzies always appear in large groups and hover all over the field.
While in this state, the Yoshi may have a hard time walking and aiming eggs, the music is slowed down and distorted, and it is especially difficult to understand the map well, as the whole background flashes rainbow colors, moves, and twists around this is especially hazardous in areas with pits. When a Yoshi makes contact with or eats a Fuzzy, it gets dizzy, and the whole level is affected. A Red Yoshi dizzy with dilated pupils after touching a Fuzzy
