Honey Queen, also known as Queen Bee (referred to as Honey Queen in *Mario Kart 7*), is a recurring character in the *Super Mario* series. She is the ruler of all the Honeybees, an extremely large bee, over ten times the size of a regular bee, who always speaks using the first person plural. She first appeared in *Super Mario Galaxy*, and reappeared in *Super Mario Galaxy 2*. In both games, she rules over the bees in the Honeyhive, Honeybloom, and Honeyhop Galaxies. She often requests Mario's help with various problems, such as an itch on her back, which is actually caused by Star Chips lodged there. In *Mario Kart 7*, she makes her debut as a playable character under the name Honey Queen as a heavy-weight racer with high speed and weight boosts. Additionally, Honey Queen appears as a spirit in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, where she runs a dojo and teaches spirits the 'Big-Bee Style,' which increases defense, jump, and weight while decreasing offense and movement speed. Overall, Honey Queen is a unique and prominent character in the Mario universe, known for her immense size, regal bearing, and her multiple roles across the games.
