In ''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!'', a large Buzzy Beetle appears during a walking montage scene. It walks forward with a smaller Buzzy Beetle behind it. However, [[Mario]] uses the power of the [[Fire Flower|flower]] he had recently acquired to throw a [[fireball]] at it. This defeats the Buzzy Beetle, although Buzzy Beetles are impervious to fireballs in the games. | In the 1986 anime ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', a large Buzzy Beetle appears during a walking montage scene.

[[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 is upside-down, the Big Buzzy Beetle can ram into Mario again and bring itself up. It has 40 [[Heart Point|HP]], and drops an [[MAX UP Heart|HP-Up Heart]] upon defeat. It is also the only optional boss in the game. | ||

Big Buzzy Beetles | Big Buzzy Beetles first appear in the ''Super Mario'' series in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They are found in [[Rising Tides of Lava]] from [[Peach's Castle (world)|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]]''. | ||
