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.

In [[World 3-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-4]], a Buzzy Beetle is disguised as one of the seven [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowsers]] in the castle levels, so this is technically the first level where they appear. While in Bowser form, this Buzzy Beetle can be attacked with fireballs, which requires five fireballs to defeat it, as with all other fake Bowsers. | In [[World 3-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-4]], a Buzzy Beetle is disguised as one of the seven [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowsers]] in the castle levels, so this is technically the first level where they appear.

Buzzy Beetles are uncommon enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They appear in only two levels; they are first encountered in [[World 5-C]] and make their last appearance in {{world link|6|towern|World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)}}[[World 6-Tower 2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|2]]. Spike Tops also return as enemies. Buzzy Beetles can be kicked when stomped on, and are impervious to fire. When a "[[paah]]" plays in the background music and future installments, Buzzy Beetles will do a short jump. | Buzzy Beetles are uncommon enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''.

Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'', they cannot be swallowed by Yoshi, though he can spit out their shells in the same manner as with a Koopa Troopa shell. 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 "paah" in the background music. They also appear in [[World 8-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-1]], and these ones do not walk off ledges, unlike normal Buzzy Beetles, mainly because they walk off ledges that lead to a body of lava. [[Kamek|Magikoopa]] may also transform blocks into them during his boss fight in {{world link|8|tower|World 8-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}. [[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]]. | Buzzy Beetles are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

[[Big Buzzy Beetle]]s were [[List of New Super Mario Bros.

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. | Buzzy Beetles also appear in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]].

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]]. | In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Buzzy Beetles appear in the [[Toad Town Tunnels]] and in [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]].
