Buzzar is a giant vaulter/baled eagle who lives on Mt. Rugged and is one of the six optional Mini-Bosses of Paper Mario.

Summery[]

There's not that much personal info known about Buzzar, he is first seen on a nest of a hill as Mario and Co. crosses the bridge, he will spot Mario and ask one of the three questions, if Mario says he's Mario, Buzzar will attack him, if Mario says that he's Princess Peach, then he will mock Mario saying that he will not fall for that and will attack him, if Mario says that he's Luigi, then Buzzar will let Mario pass. If Buzzar is battled, then after his defeated he will fly away, he's not seen again until the Parade during the credits where Buzzar is shown to have chicks.

Attacks[]

Buzzar's main attack is swooping down at Mario. Along with that, he also throws feathers at him and picks Mario up with his talons, dropping him after he flies really high. Buzzar can also blows wind at Mario and his partner, damaging both of them.

Strategy[]

Despite being a Mini-Boss, Buzzar can be difficult to fight due to his semi-high attack power, his ability to injure a Party Member and his fairly high HP. Because of this, its recommended for Mario to fight Buzzar after completing Chapter 2 and defeating Tutankoopa.

When Buzzar preforms the grab attack, the Player must press A as fast as they can to have Buzzar drop Mario, or else he will be drop and take 4 points of damage, tho it is possible to block it, same also goes for the wind attack, for an easy battle, Player scan put Buzzar to sleep, allowing free hits on the Mini-Boss.

Trivia[]

  • When Buzzar is first seen on Mt. Rugged, he's sitting on a nest full of eggs, and in the credits, the nest of eggs Buzzar sits on hatch into chicks. So Buzzar might actually be a Female.
    • Another (and most likely) possibility is that Buzzar might actually have a wife that lay eggs, so Buzzar's most likely watching over his wife's eggs.
  • Buzzar doesn't have a personal affiliation with Bowser. He's most likely a bounty hunter or mercenary who happened to catch Mario on a wanted poster.
  • Buzzar is the only non-Blooper Mini-Boss of Paper Mario to not be a larger/stronger version of regular enemies. Anti-Guy is a stronger version of Shy Guys, and Kent-C-Koopa is a larger version of Koopas.
  • When Buzzar asks Mario what his name is, Players can answer Luigi and they won't have to fight him. He can be seen on his nest and can be optional fought at any time in the game as long as Mario tells Buzzar that he's Luigi.
  • Buzzar is the first of the three Mini-Bosses in Paper Mario who can be optionally fought in a Chapter, the second being Anti-Guy of Chapter 4 and the third being Kent-C-Koopa of Chapter 6.
    • Councidently, both Mini-Bosses are from Chapters labeled in evens.
