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.

| |
| Making their game debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', one Big Buzzy Beetle acts as a mini-boss of [[Hither Thither Hill]], the third boss battle of [[World 1 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 1]]. [[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.

| 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 POW Block [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|card]].

| Big Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. 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. Big Buzzy Beetles are encountered in [[Rising Tides of Lava]], and they are one of the few enemies that do not reappear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. | | Big Buzzy Beetles reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', this time as enemies and platforms.They appear in [[Rising Tides of Lava]] from [[Peach's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. U)|Peach's Castle]]. Mario can jump and stand on top of a Big Buzzy Beetle's shell, even while floating on [[lava]] when it rises, showing to be immune to lava. Stomping them will make them retrieve in their shells and automatically when it rises up. |

| | On a side note, these Big Buzzy Beetles are smaller in size when compared to the ones that would've been in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. |
| 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. Big Buzzy Beetles are no longer immune to lava like in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''; they simply sink into the lava to be consistent with other enemies.
