'''Scuttle Bugs''' (also spelled '''Scuttlebugs''') are round orange bugs in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' that act the same as [[Goomba]]s; when in range they charge at [[Mario]], and punching and stepping on their heads defeats them. They live in [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and outside [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. Getting coins by defeating them is really all they're good for.

Their design from ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' onward resembles the {{wp|Trichonephila clavata|Joro spider}}, a ubiquitous species in Japan, similar to other spider enemies, such as [[Suu]] or [[Arachne]].

{{multiframe|[[File:Scuttlebug.png|180px]][[File:SM64DS Scuttlebug.png|180px]]|Scuttle Bugs received a significant redesign from ''Super Mario 64'', pictured left, to its Nintendo DS remake, pictured right.|align=left|size=370}}
Scuttle Bugs first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later in its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They behave similarly to [[Goomba]]s; when in range, they charge at the player character, though one can defeat a Scuttle Bug by [[punch]]ing and stepping on their heads. Scuttle Bugs live in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and outside [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. The only differences between Goombas are that they give three [[coin]]s instead of just one, they are faster to charge, they can change the home area they patrol,<ref>{{cite|author=pannenkoek2012|date=January 12, 2016|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpk2tdsPh0A|title=SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 10, 2019}}</ref> and they move in a circular pattern when Mario is not nearby;<ref>{{cite|author=pannenkoek2012|date=April 24, 2023|url=www.youtube.com/shorts/yScLaj63_AQ|title=Scuttlebug Path|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=April 24, 2023}}</ref> their behavior is shared with grounded [[Skeeter]]s. In the remake, Scuttle Bugs have been redesigned to have black and yellow stripes like a bee, a distinct head, legs of the same color as their bodies, and red suction cup-like feet.


In [[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|pre-release versions]] of ''Super Mario 64'', Scuttle Bugs have a mahogany, modeled body instead of the flat marble-like texture, and also have bushy, angry eyebrows.<ref>[[tcrf:File:SM64-EarlyScuttlebug.gif|TCRF]]</ref>
Scuttlebugs reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', hanging down from webs in World 4-1. They will repeatedly move up and down, and can prove to be useful in giving some extra height by jumping off of them. They also appeared in in World 8-4, where they will ceaselessly drop down from the top of the stage in pairs of two. They detach from their webs almost immediately, and will drop onto the ground and give chase.
{{br}}


====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
A boss from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', conjecturally named [[Colossal Scuttle Bug]], has stripes going horizontally across its body and wide eyes, resembling a Scuttle Bug. At the start of the battle in previews, it jumps and wiggles its legs (which also happen to be Scuttle Bug-like) in midair as Scuttle Bugs do when they are ready to attack, thus making this monstrosity a possible giant, alien one. Also, in recent screenshots of the game, spider-like aliens that resemble Scuttle Bugs appear in the [[Stardust Galaxy]]. These are a possible Cosmic species.
Scuttlebugs appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' under their current name, reusing their redesigned appearance from ''Super Mario 64 DS''. They can be found hanging down from webs in [[World 4-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-1]]. They repeatedly move up and down, and can prove to be useful in giving some extra height by jumping off of them. They also appear in [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]], where they ceaselessly drop down from the top of the stage in pairs of two. They detach from their webs almost immediately, and drop onto the ground to give chase.


====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
It is not to be confused with the enemies [[Skeeter]] and [[Pider]].

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Scuttlebugs (referred to as '''Spiders''' in the [[Prima Games|Prima]] guide)<ref>{{cite|author=von Esmarch, Nick|title=''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=34|language=en-us|date=2012|publisher=Prima Games|isbn=978-0-307-89552-3}}</ref> hang from webs, just like their ''New Super Mario Bros.'' incarnations. However, they no longer walk around. Their appearance has changed; instead of being yellow with three black stripes and having black heads, they are yellow with two purple stripes and purple heads, as well as having white mandibles. Their legs, which are just yellow, also no longer end in suction cups, instead having clenched boxing gloves. They appear in [[World 3-3 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]] and {{world-link|3|cannonn2|World 3-Warp Cannon (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}.

====''Super Mario Run''====
[[Category: Enemies]]
Scuttlebugs appear in the version 3.0.4 update of ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', in the level [[Scuttlebug Forest]]. They  also appear in Secret Courses or Special Remix Courses while playing [[Remix 10]]. They have the same appearance and behavior as their ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' incarnations.
[[Category: Insects]]
 
===''Mario Golf'' (Nintendo 64)===
"Scuttle Bug" is a name sometimes displayed on the tournament board in the [[Nintendo 64]] version of ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]''.
 
===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:Spider Stomp MP7.png|thumb|left|Scuttle Bugs are the main obstacle of ''Mario Party 7''{{'}}s Spider Stomp minigame]]
Scuttlebugs appear infrequently in minigames in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]]. In ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', they appear in [[Spider Stomp]], along with a [[Big Scuttlebug|giant variant]], and are generically named "spiders." Both teams compete to defeat all the spiders, which can shoot web projectiles, along a narrow path in the jungle until reaching the end. In ''[[Mario Party DS]]'', Scuttlebugs appear in [[Crazy Crosshairs]], with their ''Super Mario 64 DS'' appearance, where both teams have to use toy tanks to shoot the Scuttlebugs on a spiderweb; additionally, there are golden Scuttlebugs, each worth three points instead of one.
{{br|left}}
 
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Scuttlebugs are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are encountered in [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 3]] only. Many walk around on the ground, while others are attached to the ceiling using thread-like webs. If Mario battles a Scuttlebug on the ground, the enemy can either slam into Mario or shoot a web at him. If a hanging Scuttlebug is battled, it can only slam into Mario, but with a much higher damage ratio. The Scuttlebugs can also change their position on their strings to avoid hammer and ground attacks, similar to that of [[Pider]]s and [[Arantula]]s from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Scuttlebugs hold a [[Wiggler Segment]] hostage in [[Rustle Burrow]], an area with most of its inhabitants being Scuttlebugs.
 
There are also [[Co Gasagoso|miniature Scuttlebugs]] that cannot be battled, but chase Mario if he gets close to them. If one of them touches Mario, he jumps lower and moves slower until it is removed, very similar to [[Mini Goomba]]s in other games. They can be defeated by hitting them with a hammer, using a [[Super Star]], or jumping on them. Defeating one results in getting a coin or a Jump sticker, unless a Super Star is used, in which case only the coin drops. A [[Big Scuttlebug]] also appears as a mini-boss.
 
This is the last game where Scuttlebugs use their ''Super Mario 64 DS'' design.
 
====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:OrigamiScuttlebug.jpg|thumb|An origami Scuttlebug]]
Scuttlebugs return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami variants act as enemies in [[the Princess Peach]] and the [[Temple of Shrooms]]. They use their ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' design.
 
===''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''===
Scuttlebugs also appear as items in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', and the player can use them to hit other racers with spiderwebs.
{{br}}
===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up of ''[[Minecraft]]'', [[minecraftwiki:Spider|Spiders]] are replaced by Scuttlebugs, which take on their ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' appearance.
 
===''Dr. Mario World''===
Scuttlebugs appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as obtainable assistants. They also appear in the background of [[World 9 (Dr. Mario World)|World 9]] when an area has been cleared. In stage mode, its effect is to increase the skill meter by an extra portion if red viruses are eliminated, so for example if the percentage is 10% the skill meter is filled by an extra 0.1 points per red virus eliminated. In versus mode, its effect is to reduce the time before the stage starts shrinking the playing field by a percentage, which can stack with [[Octoomba]]'s versus effect to further reduce the time.
 
===Merchandise===
A Scuttlebug is one of the figures in Series 3 of the Character Packs in the [[LEGO Super Mario|LEGO ''Super Mario'']] line of merchandise.
