| '''Beetles''' appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' as a [[list of species|species]] collected by various characters. [[Booster]] collects beetles, but he does not catch them himself, instead forcing his [[Snifster]]s to make a hobby of capturing the beetles for him. By buying a [[Beetle Box]] for 10 [[coin]]s and traveling to [[Booster Hill]], home of the [[Beetle Race]] [[minigame]], anyone can join in the fun and try to catch beetles along with the Snifsters. Each beetle can then be traded at [[Beetles Are Us]] for a predetermined number of coins. Golden Beetles are worth one [[Frog Coin]], male beetles are worth 50 coins, and female beetles are worth only one coin. A beetle also appears as a playable character in the [[Beetle Mania]] game that can be purchased from the [[Game Boy Toad]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario RPG)|Mushroom Kingdom]] for 500 coins. | | [[File:SMRPG Beetle.PNG|thumb|left]] |
