Character Sheet: Beezo

BEEZO

Now, we have finished the television series, and we have SO many characters to cover, from all across the spectrum. There are a few characters here and there that might get a few upgrades to their movesets, mostly being the Donkey Kong cast (one example, I think Klump should absolutely have a Klaptrap gun now). But, there are so many that are so distinct from their game counterparts, I could only make a brand new slot for them. They are:

1.     Beezo

2.     Flurry

3.     Rex

4.     Tryclyde

5.     TV Mario

6.     TV Luigi

7.     Tommy Treehugger & Co-MC

8.     Evil Eric & Tammy Treehugger

9.     Princess Toadstool

Now, I said I was going to be covering the TV version of Mario, but I figured it was best to cover those that would be part of the main Mario roster first. So, today's character will instead be Beezo. You may remember Beezo as the sorta Shy Guy-looking enemy from Super Mario Bros. 2, with little fairy wings who flies forward with a spear out. Definitely not a character who gave us much to work with in the games, but, thanks to SMB2 being a major basis for the first season of Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Beezos acted frequently as major minions of King Koopa.

In the show, the Beezos fly and uses their spears, just like in the game, but they also make use of lances, swords, ropes, and nets, all of which can be useful here. It's also worth noting that they appear most prominently in the Gladiator-themed episode starring Brutius Grouchimus Maximus, meaning we could probably borrow some from him as well.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Spear

Obviously, their most important weapon has to be on full display here. It will be a major part of his moveset in various ways, but this one will pull specifically from the game. The Beezo will point his spear straight forward and thrust toward the nearest enemy, stabbing them with it.

Side B: Koopa Toss

This is a move Grouchimus is sure to use, but it works just as well here. The Beezo will throw a shell (stylized like the show) forward at high speed, resulting in a powerful collision. It might be fun to have the Koopa Troopa of the show emerge for a second after it stops.

Up B: Wings

Obviously we're going to use the wings here, as its their main form of aerial maneuvering. We'll also add some of the spear in here and have him swoop up quickly with the spear, doing damage with the upward movement.

Down B: Net

This will make use of the net used by the Beezos to catch Mario and his friends. When activated, a second Beezo will appear and the pair will hold the net between them, flying forward before tossing it down, trapping anyone underneath.

Final Smash: Subcon Armies

If I remember right, Wart had something like this, so my thought is that instead of the game versions of the enemy, Beezo will summon an army of their TV show variants and lead them into battle.

Entrance: It will fly on in its 8-bit form.

Taunts: Up, it will raise its spear to the sky and let out a cheer. Side, it will turn into its 8-bit version and move side to side. Down, it will pull a vegetable from the ground.

Thanks for reading! Next up, their Subcon companions, the Flurries!
