'''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 subterranean levels, the common habitat trope for Buzzy Beetles. Ever since, Buzzy Beetles can be found in a wider variety of darker, interior locations such as tunnels, sewers, ruins, etc. Buzzy Beetles attack mainly by walking towards characters. If Buzzy Beetles approach a ledge, they fall off of it with a few exceptions.

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.
Buzzy Beetles hide in their shells if [[jump]]ed on, and, like a [[Koopa Shell]], they can be kicked to eliminate more enemies, destroy [[Brick Block]]s, or activate switches. The shell of the Buzzy Beetle is strong enough to resist [[fireball]]s, and as such, they cannot be defeated by fire.

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, and that more recent games even confirm that Buzzy Beetles are indeed a type of Koopa.
