Skeeters[1] are giant water strider enemies that are introduced in Super Mario 64 . They appear in a few of the 3D games of the Super Mario franchise. Like real water striders, they usually skim on the surface of water.

Skeeters have had distinct designs throughout all four of their Super Mario-series appearances, though their abilities and basic shape have remained largely the same. In addition to skating on water, they can also walk on land, though they move a bit slower.

History[edit ]

Super Mario series[edit ]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit ]

A Skeeter in Super Mario 64, its first appearance

In Super Mario 64, Skeeters appear frequently in Wet-Dry World, where one is seen on the entrance painting. They are found floating aimlessly on the water, and they appear as big cyan-colored pond skaters with yellow suction cup-like webbed feet and vermillion-colored antennae on their backs, with bulging, sad red eyes. They can be defeated by most methods of attack, and they release three coins upon defeat. They can be lowered onto platforms, where they will slowly skitter about and home in on Mario if they see him, acting just like a Scuttle Bug. If struck by one, Mario will lose two wedges of his health.

In Super Mario 64 DS , Skeeters are now blue, and their yellow webbed feet are slightly larger and also cover their ankles; the antennae on their heads are red instead of vermillion, and they have black eyes that are now positioned flat on their faces, instead of bulging out. Skeeters now also appear in Dire, Dire Docks, where five of them can be found. Their other attributes remain unchanged from the original.

Super Mario Sunshine[edit ]

Skeeters reappear in Super Mario Sunshine , where they are referred to as Pondskaters[2] or Blue Spiders.[3] [4] They are found exclusively in the lake of Bianco Hills. These ones sport a different design, with no antennae, shorter and thicker legs, and a blue and yellow color scheme. When they are jumped on, Mario propels upward to a height rivaling the Rocket Nozzle. Pondskaters stop moving temporarily if sprayed with FLUDD. Pondskaters can be defeated only by a Yoshi, by either eating them or spraying juice at them to turn them into platforms, which will remove the Pondskaters after the platform disappears.

New Super Mario Bros.[edit ]

While Skeeters themselves do not appear in New Super Mario Bros. , a bomb-dropping variant of the same name was introduced.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit ]

Super Mario Galaxy 2 redesigned the appearance of Skeeters

Skeeters in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and its Nintendo Switch port were given an overhauled appearance consisting of flat purple bodies without antennae, yellow legs and feet, and visible eyelids on top of their eyes. They always home in on Mario or Luigi, and they can be stomped for a coin or hit with a spin to release three Star Bits. When the water is frozen in Cosmic Cove Galaxy, they will be frozen as well.

Skeeters appear in the following list of galaxies and missions. If no mission is stated, Skeeters appear during all missions:

Mario Party 3[edit ]

In Mario Party 3 , an immobile Skeeter is in the background of Woody Woods, and a large mechanical Skeeter is one of the vehicles in Ridiculous Relay.

Mario Kart World[edit ]

Skeeters return in Mario Kart World , where they use their Super Mario Galaxy 2 design but with a Ground Pound symbol-like starburst pattern on the back, their bodies are slightly larger, and their eyes are now teal-colored. As in the mainline games, Skeeters occur on the surface of water and propel themselves forward by flexing their legs. They cause racers to briefly get knocked over on contact, although they can be jumped over with a well-timed Charge Jump. Mario Kart World is the first new game to include Skeeters in fifteen years, since the release of Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear in aquatic areas such as the lake in Acorn Heights and at Toad's Factory. Skeeters are found in the following routes:

Missions[edit ]

Skeeters are featured in the following missions:
