A '''Battle Beetle'''<ref name=ENG>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' instruction booklet|page=12}}</ref> is an [[List of enemies|enemy]] in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. These {{iw|wikipedia|Japanese rhinoceros beetle}}s<ref name=JPN>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land 2: 6-tsu no Kinka'' instruction booklet|page=16|date=1992|publisher=Nintendo|language=ja}}</ref> (identified as {{iw|wikipedia|Atlas beetle}}s internationally<ref name=ENG/>) walk forward until reaching a ledge, after which they fly straight up, then slowly hover down towards [[Mario]]. A Battle Beetle can be defeated from either being [[stomp]]ed or from a [[fireball]]. Battle Beetles look much like {{wp|Hercules beetle}}s, but are roughly Mario's size.

A Battle Beetle also appears in volume 7 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', where Mario gets robbed by it and, while engaging a battle with it, the Battle Beetle hits a branch from which a [[Heavy Zed]] falls, squashing and defeating it. In volume 9, another Battle Beetle appears and is defeated by [[Bunny Mario]].
