The '''Beetle'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000229072052/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/donkeykong64/cc.html Donkey Kong 64 Banana Guide on Nintendo.com], ''Nintendo''. Retrieved November 24, 2014.</ref> is a large, green beetle in purple racing gear that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. She is raced twice, first by [[Tiny Kong]] in [[Angry Aztec]] and later by [[Lanky Kong]] in [[Crystal Caves]]. In Angry Aztec, when Tiny plays [[Saxophone Slam]] from a nearby [[Music Pad]] while in her [[Mini-Monkey]] form, this summons [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]], who picks up Tiny and drops her into a tower where the Beetle is. The race involves Tiny and the Beetle racing down a large slide. When the race starts, Tiny can kick the Beetle to slow her and receive a headstart. The Beetle is almost the width of the slide, making her hard to avoid, and if the Beetle knocks into Tiny, she loses three DK Coins. To win against the Beetle, Tiny has to not only come in first but also collect at least 50 [[DK Coin]]s. In Crystal Caves, Lanky races the Beetle by using his [[OrangStand Sprint]]. In both races, winning earns the respective [[Kong]] a [[Golden Banana]].
