Para-Beetles (here known as Parabuzzies) appear in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''. They can be found in the [[Pirate's Grotto]] and in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]]. Like other Buzzy Beetles, they are immune to fire attacks, and flying allows them to evade ground attacks from [[Mario]] and his party. If hit with a single [[jump]], however, their wings will be knocked off and the Parabuzzy will become a normal Buzzy Beetle. Additionally, a fountain in [[Rogueport Sewers]] has two statues of Para-Beetles with their traditional platformer design. Unlike in their other appearances, Para-Buzzies are portrayed here as basically resembling regular Buzzies with wings. | |||

In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros.

Their skill is Support, which cures the team of Paralysis. Their second skill is Light Boost, which raises the attack of Light attribute team members if players clear a horizontal line of light orbs. Buzzy Beetles can turn into Para-Beetles if they are given four [[P-Wing]] transformation items. If a Para-Beetle is given six [[Super Mushroom]] transformation items, it becomes a Heavy Para-Beetle. | In ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros.
