'''Big Buzzy Beetles''' are giant versions of [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. They first appeared in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and reappeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:MegaBuzzyBeetle NSMBW.png|thumb|left|The big, unused Buzzy Beetle]]
A giant Buzzy Beetle appears as an [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content#Enemies_2|unused enemy]] in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', suggesting that they were going to appear during gameplay but were either never implemented into any level or removed before the final release.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====

While not as large as the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' design, Big Buzzy Beetles did eventually appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They are found in [[Rising Tides of Lava]] from [[Peach's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Peach's Castle]], where they act as both enemies and platforms. Mario can jump and stand on top of a Big Buzzy Beetle's shell while it is floating on [[lava]] when it rises, showing them to be immune to lava. When not floating on lava and when it is not stomped on, it just retreats into the shell. They are one of the few enemies that do not reappear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Big Buzzy Beetles are present yet again in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Buzzy Beetle with a [[Super Mushroom]], and thus the implication of Big Buzzy Beetles within the game.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Debuting in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', one Big Buzzy Beetle acts as a mini-boss of [[Hither Thither Hill]], the third boss battle of [[Decalburg]]'s [[World 1 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|first world]]. [[Mario]] must defeat it to continue his adventure. In battle, the Big Buzzy Beetle can go into its shell and ram into Mario, just like normal Buzzy Beetles. However, the Big Buzzy Beetle is impervious to all attacks (except for [[Ice Flower]]s, which will damage it), with its only weak spot being its underbelly. The boss must be flipped over by either successfully jumping on it or by using a [[POW Block]] [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|sticker]]. When it's upside-down, the Big Buzzy Beetle can ram into Mario again and bring itself up. It has 40 [[Heart Point|HP]], and drops an [[HP-Up Heart]] upon defeat. It is also an optional mini-boss, the only one in the game.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
A single Big Buzzy Beetle appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', serving as the [[Buzzy Beetle Tower]] base in [[The Emerald Circus]]. It can be flipped over by using a [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)#POW Block|POW Block card]].
