'''Para-Beetles''' (known as '''Parabuzzies''' in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'') are flying [[Buzzy Beetle]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In most games, they lack visible legs, though occasionally they are shown dangling from beneath.

Para-Beetles are found only in [[World 5-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-6]] in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. They can be stood on by the player character to lift them into the air,<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 13|page=48|date=June 1990|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|quote=These flying Para-Beetle pests will give you a lift if you jump on their backs.}}</ref> so [[jump]]ing on a Para-Beetle does not defeat it, as it would for most other enemies. If stepped on, a Para-Beetle lowers slightly before fluttering upwards diagonally.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/t_L0tc1F95Q?feature=shared&t=11|title=''Super Mario Bros. 3'' - World 5-6|author=[[User:VideoGamePhenomHD|VideoGamePhenom]]|publisher=YouTube|language=en|timestamp=0:11|date=September 8, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/UKU8FzwEt0s?feature=shared&t=20|title=''Super Mario Advance 4 - Super Mario Bros. 3'' - World 5-6|author=VideoGamePhenom|date=October 26, 2019|publisher=YouTube|language=en|timestamp=0:20}}</ref> Para-Beetles are unaffected by [[fireball]] attacks, but they can be defeated from either a tail swipe from [[Raccoon Mario]]'s tail, a [[Super Star]]s, or a [[hammer]]. In the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remake]], Para-Beetles appear throughout the [[World-e]] stage, [[Para Beetle Challenge]].
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can hop on their back for a ride, allowing them to traverse air levels and making them one of the very few enemies that cannot be defeated by jumping on them. They are immune to fireballs, but vulnerable to [[Raccoon Mario]]'s tail attacks, [[Super Star]]s and [[hammer]]s. They are found only in [[Sky Land]]'s [[World 5-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-6]], as well as in the e-reader level [[Para Beetle Challenge]] in the GBA remake.

[[Jump]]ing on a stationary Para-Beetle will slightly lower it, though it will gradually rise upwards again, somewhat making a zig-zag. The mobile Para-Beetles soar quickly through the skies, forcing the player to jump from Para-Beetle to Para-Beetle. Green Para-Beetles were [[List of Super Mario Bros. 3 pre-release and unused content|originally]] going to appear in the game (as well as in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance remake]]), where they were shown to be faster than normal Para-Beetles.

Para-Beetles return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', only within [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]]. Besides being slower, slightly larger, and receiving a larger variant, [[Heavy Para-Beetle]], Para-Beetles have little difference than in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. If players jump on eight Para-Beetles in succession (including Heavy Para-Beetles) without touching the ground, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] drops from the sky.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/bGYse6kneMA?feature=shared&t=1902|author=Mario Party Legacy|title=''New Super Mario Bros.

Para-Beetles return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they are slower and larger than they are in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. There is also a huge new derived species known as the [[Heavy Para-Beetle]]. If Mario steps on a regular Para-Beetle, it will start to rise to the top of the screen; if Mario jumps on a Heavy Para-Beetle, it will start to fall slowly. They only appear in [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]]. If players jump on eight Para-Beetles consecutively without touching the ground, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] falls from the sky.

Para-Beetles reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', behaving the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They appear in the [[Soda Jungle]] level [[Flight of the Para-Beetles]]. In ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', they appear in [[Para-Beetle Parade]], where they are seen carrying [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant]]s, and [[P Switch]]es.

Para-Beetles can appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' if the player applies [[wings]] to a [[Buzzy Beetle]]. With Para-Beetles now being literal winged Buzzy Beetles, they no longer have a unique appearance, though their behavior goes unchanged regardless. Heavy Para-Beetles now ascend like Para-Beetles when stood on,<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/ZIo8bvXeti4?feature=shared&t=2|timestamp=0:02|title=Tips, Tricks and Ideas with Buzzy Beetles in ''Super Mario Maker''|author=Ceave Gaming|date=January 16, 2016|publisher=YouTube|language=en}}</ref> no longer moving the opposite direction.
Para-Beetles reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'' if the player applies [[wings]] to a [[Buzzy Beetle]]; it will fly in a straight line and allow itself to be stood upon and rode like a platform, thus behaving in a similar manner. In the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' styles, Para-Beetles resemble their ''Paper Mario'' appearance; however, they still behave like they normally do in platformers. Unlike in previous games, even large Para-Beetles will ascend when stood upon.
 
Unlike Para-Beetles in other games, they can lose their wings and become normal Buzzy Beetles by having [[Yoshi]] lick one and spit it back out. Although called Para-Beetles by the game itself, they count towards the "defeat Buzzy Beetles" [[Super Mario Maker 2#Clear conditions|clear condition]] in ''Super Mario Maker 2'' and do not have a clear condition of their own.

In ''[[Super Mario Momotarō]]'', a female Para-Beetle is the first creature who joins [[Mario]] to rescue [[Princess Peach]] after Mario gives some food to the starving Para-Beetle. During the final battle, she aids Mario by knocking out [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]] with a powerful tackle and later using the same move on [[Bowser]]. After the final battle, she helps Mario return the treasures that Bowser had stolen back to their rightful owners. She is based off of the bird from {{wp|Momotarō}}.

Para-Beetles act as [[Bowser's Minions|minions]] of [[Bowser|King Koopa]] in "[[True Colors]]", where they are sent down alongside [[Paragoomba]]s to attack the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. Mario, Luigi and [[Toad]] also ride on them in "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]".

Para-Beetles make a couple of appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they either fly around in numbers, acting as minions in [[Koopa Troop|Bowser's army]] as shown in "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]" and "[[True Colors]]", or serve as rideable creatures for Mario, Luigi and [[Toad]] to ride on, as in the episode "[[7 Continents for 7 Koopas]]".

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and its [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch remake]], Parabuzzies 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]]. They are depicted as Buzzy Beetles with wings, unlike before. Like other Buzzy Beetles, they have high Defense and are immune to fire attacks, and flying allows Parabuzzies to evade ground attacks. A single [[jump]] can knock off a Parabuzzy's wings, turning it into a [[Buzzy Beetle]].<ref>{{cite|timestamp=21:06|url=youtu.be/A2EwLZXCzow?feature=shared&t=1266|title=''Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door'' - 100% Walkthrough Part 38 No Commentary Gameplay Pirate's Grotto|publisher=YouTube|author=Ninbanyan|date=July 7, 2021}}</ref>
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 have high Defense and 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, Parabuzzies are portrayed here as basically resembling regular Buzzies with wings.
 
In [[Rogueport Underground]], two Para-Beetle statues can be seen on the fountain.

They appear in [[The Overthere]] and [[Castle Bleck]].
In ''Super Paper Mario'', they can be found in [[The Overthere]] and [[Castle Bleck]]. They behave the same way as in their previous appearance, losing their wings and reverting to a Buzzy Beetle upon being jumped on, but as with other Buzzy Beetles, their stats are much weaker than in the previous ''Paper Mario'' games; likely due to the fact they can no longer be flipped onto their backs to bypass their Defense and make them vulnerable to attacks once grounded, instead retreating into their shells like Buzzy Beetles do in other platforming appearances.

A Para-Beetle appears as an Assistant in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. Their stage mode effect is to transform an object, mainly a [[virus]], into a [[shell]] when the stage starts. Their versus mode effect grants a chance one of the viruses that appear is transformed into a shell when all viruses in the player's play area are eliminated. For both modes, the chance of a shell appearing is increased at higher levels, starting from 20% at the first level and ending at 100% at the maximum level.

The in-game artwork for this game shows their shells have holes for legs to go through, implying they tuck them inside while flying.
