They are small beetle-like insects with [[Mandibug]]-style faces that appear mostly in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]] and [[Gold Leaf Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and the [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]], the [[Puzzle Plank Galaxy]], and the [[Honeyhop Galaxy]] in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. When the player approaches one of them as regular [[Mario]], the Flipbug makes a frantic attempt to flee from him, and will then fall onto its back in fear, making it vulnerable to attack. If Mario touches one while they fly away from him, he remains unharmed, and could even [[spin]] them if so desired. However, if the player approaches one as [[Bee Mario]], they will assume an "angry" expression, unfold their wings, and slowly hover after him, which can cause damage. This implies that Flipbugs have a strong dislike of [[Honeybee]]s. |

| ==History==

| ===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
| |
| Flipbugs first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', first appearing as a very common enemy in the [[Honeyhive Galaxy]]. When [[Mario]] approaches one, it will panic at the sight of him and then attempt slowly flying away from him while flailing frantically, eventually tiring out and tipping onto its back for several moments. When upside-down, it is vulnerable to any attack, including simply walking into them, defeating them instantly. Even while they are fleeing, they can be touched without Mario taking damage, and can be attacked to flip them onto their backs early. If [[Bee Mario]] approaches, however, they calmly start slowly hovering towards him with an "angry" expression, damaging him if one touches him without him attacking it. This implies that Flipbugs have a strong dislike of [[Honeybee]]s. Attacking them in this state causes them to flip over as they otherwise would. In the [[Gusty Garden Galaxy]], some only appear when a [[stump]] is [[Ground Pound]]ed.

| |
| Flipbugs return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' with the same behavior, though this time they are often found hidden inside opaque [[crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|crystal]]s. Additionally, [[Yoshi]] is able to flip them automatically by hitting them with his tongue.
