'''Buzzy Beetles''' are common, quadruped, turtle-like [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] enemies with [[Buzzy Beetle Shell|hard, outer shells that are often dark blue]]. Buzzy Beetle are first introduced in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] franchise 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, 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. In a way, they are the polar opposite of the [[Spiny|Spinies]]; enemies who are immune to jumps, 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 remain quadrupedal for all of their appearances in the ''Mario'' franchise. | |||

Buzzy Beetles and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s are the only enemies from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' that have yet to appear in a 3D ''Super Mario'' game, though, in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', similar enemies known as [[Goombeetle]]s appear, which wear helmets that are designed similarly to Buzzy Beetle shells. Buzzy Beetles are also the only enemies from ''Super Mario Bros.'' to not appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' | |||

Buzzy Beetles | Buzzy Beetles first appear as enemies in [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-2]], an underground level of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its ports and remakes, including ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''. They are common enemies in the level, and their main method of attacking is walking into Mario. If they approach a ledge, they fall off as green [[Koopa Troopa]]s. Similar to Koopa Troopas, they hide in their shell when jumped on. Their shells can be kicked in the same manner as Koopa Troopa shells, where they can break blocks and defeat enemies as well as rebound off walls. Due to their hard shells, Mario and Luigi cannot defeat them with fireballs. Buzzy Beetles then later appear in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]], [[World 6-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-2]], [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 7-1]],[[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-1]], [[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-2]], and [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]] all except World 8-4 being overworld levels, making World 4-2 the only underground level they appear in. In World 5-2, three of them appear in a consecutive line. A single Buzzy Beetle appears in World 7-1 on the steps before the [[Flagpole]]. When players complete the game and play the new quest option, which serves as the game's Hard Mode, all [[Goomba]]s are replaced with Buzzy Beetles. | ||
In [[World 3-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-4]], a Buzzy Beetle is disguised as one of the seven [[Bowser Impostor]]s in the castle levels, being the first Buzzy Beetle players encounter in the game. While in Bowser form, this Buzzy Beetle can be attacked with fireballs, which requires five fireballs to defeat it, as with all other Bowser Impostors. | |||

[[File: | [[File:SMB2_Buzzy_Beetle.png|thumb|left|A Buzzy Beetle, from ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'']] | ||
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels]]'', the Japan-exclusive sequel to ''Super Mario Bros.'', 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]]. When underwater, Buzzy Beetles cannot be jumped on, making them impervious. | ||
===='' | ====''Super Mario Bros. 3''==== | ||
[[File: | [[File:SMA4 Hidden Block.png|200px|thumb|Buzzy Beetles in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'']] | ||
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Buzzy Beetles return, acting the same way as they did before. Here, Buzzy Beetles can also climb and walk on the ceiling. To attack intruders, they can drop, and spin along the ground to attack. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', when the 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 a single missing pixel on the top of the shell on one frame. In this game, Buzzy Beetles are an exclusive feature of cave-themed levels and no longer appear in other places. | |||
====''Super Mario World''==== | ====''Super Mario World''==== | ||
Buzzy Beetles | Buzzy Beetles also appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', still as typical cave enemies. They are still resistant to fireballs; however, [[Yoshi]] can swallow them whole, unlike Koopa Troopas' shells, which Yoshi cannot immediately swallow. They hide in their shells when jumped on, as opposed to sliding out, as the Koopas sometimes do when stomped. [[Spike Top]]s, Buzzy Beetles with a spike on their back, which cannot be jumped upon, are introduced in this game. Yoshi or a successful [[Spin Jump]] will protect Mario and Luigi from getting hit by the spikes. This game also introduces [[Bony Beetle]]s, which are undead skeletons of a Buzzy Beetle. | ||
====''New Super Mario Bros.''==== | ====''New Super Mario Bros.''==== | ||
Buzzy Beetles | Buzzy Beetles reappear as enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', although they are very rare in this game. In fact, they only appear in two levels, [[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]], where during the start of the level, the beetle is flipped over. They behave similar to their appearance back in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. As in ''Super Mario Bros.'', they can be kicked when stomped on, and are impervious to fire. [[Spike Top]]s reappear in this game also. | ||
When a "bah" is heard in the music in this game and future installments, they will do a short jump, similar to [[Goomba]]s. | |||

Buzzy Beetles | Buzzy Beetles later reappear in the sequel, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. In [[World 6-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-3]], a big group of Buzzy Beetles can be seen on the ceiling, and will fall on [[Mario]] and the group, as they did in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In both games, Buzzy Beetles hop to the electronic vocal "bah" in the background music. They also appear in [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-1]], and these ones don't walk off ledges, unlike normal Buzzy Beetles, mainly because they walk off ledges that lead to a body of lava. [[Kamek]] may also transform blocks into them during his boss fight in {{world-link|8|tower|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-Fortress}}. [[Spike Top]]s also reappear again. [[Para-Beetle]]s also make a reappearance, and a new sub-species called [[Heavy Para-Beetle]]. They only appear in [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]]. | ||
Unlike in ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi can't completely eat Buzzy Beetles. However, he can spit out their shells in the same manner as with a Koopa Troopa shell. | |||

Buzzy Beetles | Buzzy Beetles also appear in the Nintendo [[Wii U]] title, ''[[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 Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen''=== | |||
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen]]'', two Buzzy Beetles (although gold in color) made a brief appearance in the movie where they attempted to attack the heroes but were defeated by [[Mario]] when he used a [[Fire Flower]] to shoot them with a fireball, despite the fact that Buzzy Beetles are ordinarily immune to fire attacks in the games. | |||

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 can't attack on that turn. Fire attacks won't 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, unlike the other games, where most of its face is covered revealing glowing eyes. | ||

In Dry Dry Ruins, several Buzzy Beetles climb on the ceiling, like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They can drop on Mario to attack them, and he cannot jump on them while they are hanging from the ceiling. However, he can use a badge to 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]]. | ||

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.

Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' | Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' where they are inside cave places and in 2D underground segments. Their appearance is similar to that of their ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' counterparts. In the overworld they are able to 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 [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Flashy Shell sticker]]. Buzzy Beetles are aided by nobody except [[Goomba]]s. | ||

===='' | ===''Mario & Luigi'' series=== | ||
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''==== | |||
Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', being encountered in the lower half of Mount Brrr. Each time it takes damage, it will hide in its shell. While the Buzzy Beetle's 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. Buzzy Beetles are located in [[Mount Brrr]]. 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]], as they take half damage from fire. Their paper form does not appear in this game. | |||

Buzzy Beetles appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'' after being absent in the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|original game]]. They appear as enemies and recruitable allies exclusively in ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser''. They are melee troopers, and attack by ramming enemies with their shells. Buzzy Beetles have high defense, and their 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. | |||

Buzzy Beetles appear solely in the [[List of minigames in Mario Party 8#Battle_minigames|Battle Minigame]], [[Glacial Meltdown]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. A [[Lakitu]] throws them onto the ice making them both obstacles and weapons for the players to use to knock the opponets off the ice. It is unknown why the Lakitu threw Buzzy Beetles instead of its species' normal [[Spiny]] accomplices. | |||

Mario is able to ride on Buzzy Beetle Shells by jumping and landing on them as they move, if they are shot by a [[Bill Blaster]].
