{{quote|Buzzy Beetle Blocker...engage!|Buzzy Beetle|Paper Mario: Color Splash}} 
'''Buzzy Beetles''', also referred to as '''Buzzies''', are common, quadruped, turtle-like [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] enemies with [[Buzzy Shell|hard, outer shells that are often dark blue]]. Buzzy Beetles first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they are first found in underground levels, the common habitat trope for Buzzy Beetles, appearing in a wider variety of darker, interior areas ever since, such as tunnels, sewers, and ruins. Buzzy Beetles attack mainly by walking towards characters. If Buzzy Beetles approach a ledge, they usually walk right off.

Buzzy Beetles hide in their shells if [[jump]]ed on, and they can be kicked in a similar manner to a [[Koopa Shell]] to eliminate more enemies, destroy [[Brick Block]]s, and activate switches. Buzzy Beetles wear a shell that is resistant to [[fireball]]s, leaving them unaffected by it. In a way, they are the polar opposite of the [[Spiny|Spinies]]; enemies who are immune to stomps, but vulnerable to fireballs. Buzzy Beetles and their derivative species such as [[Spike Top]]s are also able to climb up walls and ceilings; Buzzy Beetles often use that vantage point to drop onto characters below in an ambush. Unlike [[Koopa Troopa]]s, Buzzy Beetles are quadrupedal in all of their appearances.

Despite having the word "beetle" in their name, Buzzy Beetles are not beetles; rather, they were named as such because their shells give them an almost insectoid appearance. More recent games confirm that Buzzy Beetles are in fact a type of Koopa.

Buzzy Beetles and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s are the only enemies from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' that have yet to appear in a 3D game of the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]. Similarly, Buzzy Beetles, along with [[Lava Bubble]]s and [[Cheep Cheep]]s, are also the only enemies from ''Super Mario Bros.'' to not appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:FirstBuzzyBeetle.png|thumb|Screenshot of Buzzy Beetles in World 4-2 of ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''Super Mario Bros.'' They are first seen in [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-2]], though it is technically [[World 3-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-4]], as throwing five [[fireball]]s at the [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowser]] at the end reveals it to be a Buzzy Beetle in disguise.<ref>{{cite|author=[[User:VideoGamePhenomHD|VideoGamePhenom]]|date=August 24, 2019|timestamp=0:22|url=youtu.be/uGUMpmPwl-U?feature=shared&t=22|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' - World 3-4|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> Buzzy Beetles can damage Mario or Luigi on contact. A Buzzy Beetle walks off of ledges, like with green [[Koopa Troopa]]s. A Buzzy Beetles hides in its shell when stomped and reemerges if left alone for a while, like Koopa Troopas, although Buzzy Beetles do not indicate when they are about to emerge. Their shells can be kicked in the same manner as [[Koopa Shell|Koopa Troopa shells]], also being able to destroy blocks, bounce off of walls, and defeat enemies along the way. Buzzy Beetles have a hard shell protecting them from any [[fireball]] attacks.<ref>{{cite|quote=His body is covered with a hard shell and can't be destroyed with a Fireball.|title=''The Official Nintendo Player's Guide|page=30|date=1987|author=Philips, Howard, et al.}}</ref> Buzzy Beetles are black in the overworld, but blue-gray in underground levels.

====''Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels''====
[[File:SMBLL Buzzy Beetle Artwork.png|thumb|left|A Buzzy Beetle from ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'']]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', Buzzy Beetles return and act just as they did in the previous game. They first appear in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-2]], the first underground level of the game, though only one of them appears in that level. They appear more frequently throughout the game and in more levels than the game's precedent. They are also found underwater occasionally in [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]], along with all the other enemies, specifically in [[World 9-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-1]] and [[World 9-4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-4]]. The Buzzy Beetles underwater are invulnerable as they cannot be jumped on, and they are colored black with gray outlines due to sharing Blooper's color palette. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, Buzzy Beetles replace all Goombas appearing in Worlds A-D, much like in Hard Mode of the original.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMB3 Buzzy Beetle.png|thumb|Upside-down Buzzy Beetles were introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']] 
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They behave no differently than before. Additionally, there is a certain type known as an '''Upside-down Buzzy Beetle''',<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb3/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|accessdate=August 13, 2022|archive=archive.today/2022.08.13-142617/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/smb3/?lang=en}}</ref> which walk on the ceiling and attack the player character by dropping from there and spinning along the ground in their direction. In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', when the [[Teki Power Up! Tokuten x2!!|red switch e-Reader card]] is scanned, all walking Koopa Troopas are replaced with Buzzy Beetles. In addition, there is a flying variation called [[Para-Beetle]], which are found only in one level. In the original version, they have the same sprites as in ''Super Mario Bros.'', albeit with a different palette, slightly different color mapping, and few minor pixel differences. In this game, Buzzy Beetles are an exclusive feature of cave-themed levels and no longer appear in other places. A variant called [[Buster Beetle]] is also introduced.

====''Super Mario World''====
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They are still resistant to fireballs, though [[Yoshi]] can eat and swallow them, unlike [[Koopa Shell]]s. Buzzy Beetles hide in their shells when jumped on and do not slide out as certain [[Koopa Troopa]]s do. The game introduces the [[Spike Top]] variety, which has a spike on top of its shell, and [[Bony Beetle]], the skeletal counterparts of Buzzy Beetles. After clearing the [[Special Zone]] for the first time, stomped Buzzy Beetle shells will not shake before the beetles start moving again.<ref>{{cite|url=x.com/MarioBrothBlog/status/1324554143021830146|title=Clearing the Special Zone in Super Mario World provides an extra bit of added difficulty. Normally, Buzzy Beetles shake before starting to move after being stunned. However, after beating the Special Zone, they start to move without shaking, providing no warning to the player.|publisher=Twitter|author=MarioBrothBlog|date=November 5, 2020|language=en|accessdate=July 9, 2024}}</ref>

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Buzzy Beetles are uncommon enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They appear only in [[World 5-C]] and {{world link|6|towern|World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)}}[[World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|2]]. A Buzzy Beetle can be kicked after being stomped and is unaffected by fire. A Buzzy Beetle hops briefly whenever a "[[paah]]" is played in the background. Spike Tops also return as enemies.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Buzzy Beetle Render.png|frame|left]]
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They cannot be swallowed by Yoshi like in ''Super Mario World'', but their shells can still be spit out like a Koopa Troopa shell. Several Buzzy Beetles walk along the ceiling in [[World 6-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-3]] but drop when approached,<ref>{{cite|timestamp=01:00|url=youtu.be/OzOHprWOXKA?feature=shared&t=60|title=''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'': World 6-3|publisher=YouTube|author=GamerJGB|date=August 6, 2012}}</ref> like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They hop to the electronic vocal "paah" in the background music. The Buzzy Beetles in [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-1]] turn around when they walk up to [[lava]].<ref>{{cite|timestamp=08:31|url=youtu.be/MygxyczHqbE?feature=shared&t=511|title=Evolution of - Buzzle Beetle in Super Mario Games|author=NintenU|date=January 21, 2019|publisher=YouTube}}</ref> Buzzy Beetles may transform from the blocks in the battle against [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] at {{world link|8|tower|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. [[Spike Top]]s and [[Para-Beetle]]s both return, the latter receiving the [[Heavy Para-Beetle]] variety for the first time.

[[Big Buzzy Beetle]]s were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|originally going to appear]] in this game, but they were removed from the final game, so they never appeared in any levels. However, through hacking methods, it is possible to use one in a level.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are found in numerous underground levels, including [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-1]] and {{world link|flower|A|World Flower-A}}.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. [[Bony Beetle]]s also make a return since their debut in ''Super Mario World'', now resembling an undead Buzzy Beetle. The [[Big Buzzy Beetle|large variety of Buzzy Beetle]], which first appeared in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', also appears.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
[[File:MusicNotes SMM.png|thumb|A Buzzy Beetle in ''Super Mario Maker'']]
Buzzy Beetles reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'' with the addition of a new [[Buzzy Shell]] which Mario can wear on his head, protecting him from enemies and traps from above. The player can also place the empty shell by shaking a Buzzy Beetle in the editor.

Mario is able to ride on Buzzy Shells by jumping and landing on them as they move, if they are shot by a [[Bill Blaster]]. By adding wings, Buzzy Beetles will slowly float from right to left (or left to right in some scenarios, such as being shot by a Bill Blaster) while maintaining Mario's ability to stand on them. Single winged Buzzy Beetles will rise when stood upon, while those with any number of enemies stacked upon them (including additional winged Buzzy Beetles) will maintain a constant altitude.

When placed in a dark area in the ''Super Mario Bros.'' style, instead of using a cyan or gray palette like in the original game, they use a palette resembling the underground palette for brown enemies (including them) from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', having a dark teal shell with light tan details. However, the rim and feet colors are switched from this, due to still using ''Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s mapping. The ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' graphics themselves are redrawn, having an outline to better fit with other sprites in the style.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', behaving identically as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and its follow-up games. They appear in [[Danger High and Low]] and [[Chase the Snaking Coins]].

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
[[File:SMM2screenshot12.png|thumb|200px|Buzzy Beetles in ''Super Mario Maker 2'']]
Buzzy Beetles return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', retaining their behavior in its predecessor. Furthermore, wearable [[Buzzy Shell]]s return, also retaining retaining their behavior; this time, however, they can now be worn by [[Luigi]], [[Toad]], and [[Toadette]]. Likewise, the player can also place the empty shell by tapping and holding a Buzzy Beetle from the pop-up menu and selecting that shell in the editor. There is also a new trait introduced in Version 2.0.0; unlike [[Costume Mario]], which cannot wear any Buzzy Shells in ''Super Mario Maker'' and were [[List of Super Mario Maker 2 pre-release and unused content|originally considered]] for ''Super Mario Maker 2'' before being scrapped from the game, [[Link]] can wear the those shells.

Buzzy Beetles are one of several enemies to not appear in the ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' game style.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBWBuzzyBeetles.jpg|thumb|Buzzy Beetles in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', where they are shown to now be able to swim in lava. Their snouts have been slightly redesigned to match those of [[Bony Beetle]]s.
{{br}}

===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
[[File:BeetleAnimeFilm.png|thumb]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', Buzzy Beetles appear olive green or brown in color. One makes brief appearance in the walking montage after [[Mario]] acquires the [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]], seen staring at the super-sized Mario in shock. Another one appears with a [[Big Buzzy Beetle|big-sized Buzzy Beetle]] in the montage after Mario acquires the [[Fire Flower]]. Mario shoots the big one with a [[fireball]], despite the fact that Buzzy Beetles are ordinarily immune to fire attacks in the games.

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
{{image|more=yes|section=y|Remove if they are not actually illustrated on the books}}
{{stub|section=yes}}
Some Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]'' series of gamebooks in the fourth book, ''[[Koopa Capers]]''. They appear in [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]'s secret camp in the Magma Pits.

===''Hotel Mario''===
[[File:HM Buzzy Beetle.png|frame]]
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[Hotel Mario]]''. They appear in [[Larry's Chillton Hotel]] and later [[Bowser's Seizures Palace Hotel]], sporting a clump of snow in the former to match the snowy aesthetic. Unlike in other appearances, they behave more like [[Goomba]]s except they will walk in Mario's direction when he arrives on their floor.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', a single Buzzy Beetle appears in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage, hopping on a [[Trampoline]]. Each hop, it goes progressively higher, until the fourth hop, where it does a flip and restarts the cycle. This Buzzy Beetle returns in the same capacity in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.

A Buzzy Beetle also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]. According to a [[List of Super Smash Bros. Brawl pre-release and unused content#scrapped enemies|datamine]], Buzzy Beetles (as well as [[Dry Bones]]) were meant appear as enemies in the Subspace Emissary before being removed from the final game.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
{{quote|XC Golf is really different from anything you've seen before. No two routes are the same! Of course, sometimes that means you really get into a pickle where the ball ends up. That's when you should think about a redo. Did you know about that? Just press {{button|switch|plus}} to open your golfwatch, and scroll over into the In Trouble? menu. One of the options is to rehit! Yeah, you'll take a one-stroke penalty, but sometimes it's worth it.|Buzzy Beetle|Mario Golf: Super Rush}}
The name "Buzzy" is sometimes mentioned on the scorecard in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]''. The only time that Buzzy Beetles physically appear in the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'']] series is as non-playable characters in [[Ridgerock Lake]] in ''[[Mario Golf: Super Rush]]''.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
Buzzy Beetles also appear in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. They are shell enemies like the Koopa Troopas, meaning they can be flipped over when they are jumped on or by a [[POW Block]]. However, unlike the Koopas, Buzzy Beetles do not spend a turn struggling on their back; they can right themselves on their very next turn, though they cannot attack on that turn. Fire attacks will not hurt them at all. However, if they are flipped on their back, they lose the fire immunity. Related enemies are [[Spike Top]]s, [[Para-Beetle#Paper Mario series|Parabuzzies]] ([[Para-Beetle]]s which now lose their wings when they are stomped), and [[Bony Beetle]]s. One of the new types of Buzzy Beetles are [[Spiky Parabuzzy|Spiky Parabuzzies]], which flies ''and'' have a spike on their back, making it hard to damage them. In ''Paper Mario'', ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', and ''Super Paper Mario'', Buzzy Beetles' eyes and entire face are visible. However, from ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'' to ''Paper Mario: The Origami King'', they resemble their appearance from ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and onward.
====''Paper Mario''====
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Buzzy Beetles appear in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]] and in [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]]. In Dry Dry Ruins, several Buzzy Beetles climb on the ceiling, like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They can drop on Mario to attack him, and he cannot jump on them while they are hanging from the ceiling. However, he can use a [[badge]] to [[Quake Hammer|cause an earthquake]], which causes the Buzzy Beetles to fall to the ground. Spike Tops, which are red in the game, are enemies fought inside [[Mt. Lavalava]], and [[Bony Beetle]]s are found in [[Bowser's Castle#Paper Mario|Bowser's Castle]]. A Buzzy Beetle named [[Chan]] appears as a student at the [[Toad Town Dojo]].

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], the first Buzzy Beetles in the game are fought in the [[Glitz Pit]]. They are red Spike Tops; however, as regular Spike Tops in the game are blue, they are called [[Spike Top#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Red Spike Top]]s in the game. Two of them build up the fighting team known as [[The Tiny Spinies]].

Regular Buzzy Beetles later appear as enemies in the cave under the well of the [[Creepy Steeple]] alongside Spike Tops. [[Para-Beetle]]s, now known as [[Para-Beetle#Paper Mario series|Parabuzzies]], appear in [[Pirate's Grotto]]. Spiky Parabuzzies are also introduced, which are found in [[Riverside Station]]. Most of these species can be found in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

The game also features [[Sky-Blue Spiny|Sky-Blue Spinies]]. It is implied that these are a cross between Buzzy Beetles and [[Spiny|Spinies]], as they are called "Käfer-Stachis" ("''Buzzy Beetle Spinies''") in the German version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.

Buzzy Beetles have very high defense and are immune to fire. Using special moves or some items such as [[Earth Quake]] will easily defeat them. The Buzzy Beetle and its species share the same stats and immunities.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
Buzzy Beetles reappear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. The game introduces a new variant, the [[Stone Buzzy|Stone Buzzies]]: Buzzy Beetles with stone shells that always take three hits to be defeated. They are found in the [[Downtown of Crag|Downtown]] and [[Gap of Crag]]. The game also features "dark" versions of several Buzzy Beetles variations, notably [[Dark Spike Top|Dark Spike Tops]] and [[Dark Stone Buzzy|Dark Stone Buzzies]], found in the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]].

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are encountered in cavern areas and in 2D underground segments. They are modeled after their appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' In the overworld, Buzzy Beetles can travel along the bottoms and sides of platforms, similar to a Spike Top. The Buzzy Beetle's only attack in this game is going into its shell and ramming into Mario. A Buzzy Beetle's shell toss attack sometimes gets Mario [[Dizzy]]. If Mario jumps on it but does not defeat it, it will hide inside its shell for a short time. When hiding, no attack will damage it. Mario can jump on it again to kick it at enemies behind it, damaging them. [[Spike Top]]s and [[Bony Beetle]]s also appear in this game, as well as the introduction of [[Shiny Buzzy Beetle]]s. A Buzzy Beetle may rarely drop a [[Flashy Shell]]. The only other enemies to appear in battles with Buzzy Beetles are [[Goomba]]s.

If a Buzzy Beetle is upside down, it will try to get back up. Unlike the Koopa Troopas, these Buzzy Beetles will always get back up as soon as they are flipped over, and rarely make the [[First Strike]]. However, five Buzzy Beetles in [[Drybake Stadium]] aim directly at Mario when he enters. They are also the last Buzzy Beetles encountered and the only fight to have a group of five.

A mini-boss, [[Big Buzzy Beetle]], also appears in the game, encountered at [[Hither Thither Hill]].

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
Buzzy Beetles return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They have the same behavior and appearance as they do in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''. They appear in [[Indigo Underground]] and [[Redpepper Volcano]]. A Buzzy Beetle also serves as the second-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #2|Roshambo Temple #2]]. [[Small Buzzy Beetle]]s appear in the [[Sacred Forest]], along with a [[Small Buzzy Beetle Gang]]. A [[Buzzy Beetle Tower]] that consists of a Buzzy Beetle, a Small Buzzy Beetle, a Big Buzzy Beetle, and a green [[Spike Guy]] appears in [[the Emerald Circus]]. [[Buzzy Beetle Gang]]s appear in the [[parallel world]] on [[Lighthouse Island]].

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:PMTOK Origami Buzzy Beetle Artwork.png|thumb|An origami Buzzy Beetle]]
Origami versions of Buzzy Beetles appear as enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', first appearing in [[Breezy Tunnel]]. As usual, they attack Mario with a Shell Shot move, flinging at him in their shells.

Regular Buzzy Beetles later appear as NPCs in [[Shangri-Spa]], and help battle the [[Folded Soldiers]] in [[Bowser's Castle]]. Sprites for Buzzy Beetles equipped with towels for cleaning Shangri-Spa exist, but go [[List of Paper Mario: The Origami King pre-release and unused content|unused]] in the final game.

A Buzzy Beetle appears in the dungeon of [[Peach's Castle]] alongside other minions at the beginning of the game after Mario is sent there as well by origami Peach.

In [[Scuffle Island]], a [[Paper Macho Soldier|Paper Macho]] version called the [[Paper Macho Buzzy Beetle]] is fought as the seventh and final opponent of the island. In Bowser's Castle, a different kind of Paper Macho Buzzy Beetle called the [[Paper Mistake Buzzy Beetle]] is fought as a boss.

===''Mario Party'' series===
Buzzy Beetles' appearances in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]] are restricted mostly to nonessential roles in minigames.

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', Buzzy Beetles make a cameo appearance in the 2-vs-2 mini-game, [[Slot Trot]]. They appear as one of the images on the slots. Their appearance here is similar to the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series appearance, except for their claws and paws, which are not white. Similarly, in ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Buzzy Beetles make a cameo in the [[Memory Mash]] minigame as pictures of a possible match, using the same sprite as in ''Mario Party 6''.

In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Buzzy Beetles have their first tangible ''Mario Party'' role in the [[List of minigames in Mario Party 8#Battle_minigames|Battle Minigame]], [[Glacial Meltdown]]. A [[Lakitu]] throws them onto the ice, oddly instead of their species' normal [[Spiny]] accomplices, making them both obstacles and weapons for the players to use to knock the opponents off the ice.
[[File:Goomba Spotting Buzzy Beetle.png|thumb|A Buzzy Beetle between a stack of Goombas in the ''Mario Party 9'' minigame Goomba Spotting]]
''[[Mario Party 9]]'' is the Buzzy Beetles' next, albeit smaller, tangible role in a ''Mario Party'' game. They appear in the minigame [[Goomba Spotting]], as a trick in order to lead the player into miscounting, since only the number of Goombas is counted at the end of the minigame. However, a Buzzy Beetle still makes a cameo on one of the puzzles in [[Jigsaw Jumble]].

Buzzy Beetles only make a few cameos in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'': in the [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]] minigames as well as walking in the rocks of [[Bowser's Peculiar Peak]] board.

In ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', Buzzy Beetles retain the same cameos in ''Mario Party 6''{{'}}s [[Slot Trot]] and ''Mario Party 9''{{'}}s Jigsaw Jumble. Buzzy Beetles also retain their role in the ''Mario Party 9'' minigame Goomba Spotting, as well as in the minigame's reappearance in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', a Buzzy Beetle makes a cameo appearance in the minigame [[Absent Minded]], where it is one of the characters that can be chosen as a guess.

Buzzy Beetles can sometimes appear in the ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'' minigame [[Which Door Has More?]], and artwork of the creatures can appear in the minigames [[Big-Top Quiz]], [[Match Makers]], and [[Puzzle Pandemonium]]. A Buzzy Beetle also appears as a selectable reaction from the reactions list.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]''. They are encountered in the lower half of [[Mount Brrr]]. Each time it takes damage, it will hide in its shell. While the Buzzy Beetle is in its shell, the damage it takes is reduced to 0. The only way to get the Buzzy Beetle out of hiding is to hammer the shell and then dodge it when it comes back towards the bro who hit it. When it hides in its shell, it has an attack where it can spin so much that, if jumped on it when it spins hard, Mario and Luigi become [[dizzy]], and [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]] loses most of his copies. They can also attack by walking towards one of the bros., occasionally getting into their shell. The attack can be countered with a hammer, though attacking them when they are in their shell causes the shell to get knocked away, and into the bro that hit it. If the [[Trio Move#Trio Hammer|Trio Hammer]] is used near them, they are flipped over. When they are flipped, the player can do a [[First Strike]] to them, which also prevents them from hiding in their shell at least once. Oddly, in this game, they are not fireproof when Mario and Luigi use the [[Fire Flower]] [[Bros. Attack]] on them, though they take half damage from fire. Their paper form does not appear in this game.

====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
[[File:MLSSBMBuzzyBeetle.png|thumb]]
Buzzy Beetles are enemies and recruitable allies exclusively in the ''[[Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser]]'' mode of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. Buzzy Beetles are melee troopers, and attack by ramming enemies with their shells. Buzzy Beetles have high defense, and their [[Special Skill (Mario & Luigi series)|Special Skill]], Rock Solid, allows them to increase their defense, depending on how filled the meter that appears becomes. They are strong against [[Para-Beetle]]s.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
Buzzy Beetles reappear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'', as enemies and recruitable allies in the ''[[Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' mode. They are melee troopers, and are strong against Para-Beetles. Their Special Skill is changed to Mega Tackle.
{{br}}

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
Buzzy Beetles appear as enemies and potential allies in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. They have the Dark attribute, and their skill involves reducing enemy damage for three turns.

Enemy Buzzy Beetles have two skills that they can use. The first skill, called Light Bind, paralyzes all the player's teammates who have Light as their main attribute or sub-attribute for two turns. The second skill, called Beetle Guard, protects the Buzzy Beetle and its allies from all status defects (such as defense reductions and turn delays) for a few turns.

The player can transform a Buzzy Beetle into a [[Bony Beetle]] by using four [[Boo Mushroom]]s on it. Alternatively, the Buzzy Beetle can transform into a [[Para-Beetle]] when given four [[P-Wing]]s.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Buzzy Beetles are assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. In both stage mode and versus mode, their effect is to transform an object, mainly a virus, into a [[shell]] when the stage starts, where the chance of activation is higher at higher levels (20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% from levels 1 to 5 respectively).

===''Mario Kart'' series===
{{multiframe|[[File:MKT 217CB.png|50px]][[File:MKT 217HB.png|50px]]|align=right|The Buzzy Beetle badges in ''Mario Kart Tour''|size=110}}
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', the Buzzy Beetles themselves do not appear in the game, but they make cameo appearances on two badges, one on a colored Common Challenges badge and another on a red Expert Challenges badge. Additionally, a Buzzy Beetle appears on a painting in the [[Prado Museum]] in [[Tour Madrid Drive|Madrid Drive 3]]. This painting reappears in {{classic|Tour|Madrid Drive}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
{{br}}

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
Two Buzzy Beetles stacked on top of each other can be seen in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' as a part of [[Bowser]]'s army. During the Koopa Troop's attack on the [[Snow Kingdom (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)|Snow Kingdom]] they have [[Bill Blaster]]s on their shells, similar to the ''Super Mario Maker'' games. More are later seen during Bowser's wedding to Princess Peach and the final battle in Brooklyn.

===Unused appearances===
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
One piece of concept artwork for the [[Broodals]] from ''[[The Art of Super Mario Odyssey]]'' labeled "Powered-Up Regular Enemy Designs" depicts [[Hariet]] as a Buzzy Beetle with a unique set of dark blue, braid-like plaits that [[Bob-omb]]s are attached to who wears a dress patterned after [[Buzzy Shell]]s to indicate Buzzy Beetles' appearances in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]]. This design, along with the rest, were scrapped because they are too similar to the [[Koopalings]].
