'''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 their legs are shown dangling from beneath. Their shells are usually red, though their ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' design gives them blue shells.

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. They can also be enlarged by giving them a [[Super Mushroom]].

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}}.

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>

In ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]'', artwork of Para-Beetles can sometimes appear on balls in the minigame [[Big-Top Quiz]]. In addition, they can be seen flying in the background of [[Mario's Rainbow Castle]] when the tower has been turned to reveal [[Impostor Bowser]].

A similar-looking creature to the Para-Beetle appears in ''[[Mario Kart World]]'', though they have blue shells and fly with propellers instead of wings. These creatures hold an arrow sign that marks a left turn after the solar panel section in [[Crown City]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkNm2wmpyto</ref>
