| :::I have the offical Prima guide (which has been wrong a lot of times, not just with Mario games), and on the page for 7-6 it has a tip: "The Heavy Para-Beetles will drop when you stand on them, while the small ones will carry you upward." This guide always hyphenates Para-Bettle, but leaves "Paratroopa" unhyphenated (as "Koopa Paratroopa"). ''However'' it lists ''Piranha Plant''s as ''Venus Fly Trap''s (they're the kind in pipes, in world 3-5, page 68 item number three in the bottom left corner). --{{User:Turkishcoffee/sig}} 03:07, 13 April 2010 (EDT) | | :::I have the offical Prima guide (which has been wrong a lot of times, not just with Mario games), and on the page for 7-6 it has a tip: "The Heavy Para-Beetles will drop when you stand on them, while the small ones will carry you upward."

| ==The Name==

|
| |
| Where did the name "Heavy Parabeetle" come from? And why does the article mention that they're also called "Mega Parabeetles"? Where are they called that? [[User:Vent|Vent]] ([[User talk:Vent|talk]]) 10:18, 3 August 2012 (EDT)
| |
| :<s>I assume the "Mega Parabeetles" name is from the Prima guide, as a few articles about NSMBWii enemies state "also called [name] in the Prima guide" when the Prima guide gives a different name. No idea where "Heavy Para-Beetle" is from, though</s> note to self: stop reading diagonally. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 13:50, 3 August 2012 (EDT)

| ::No i'm pretty sure Heavy Para-Beetle is the official prima name and Mega Parabeetles is just some unofficial name made up by a blocked user (also the Glowsquid the conversation above us shows that the Heavy Para-Beetle name comes from the Prima Guide :P) {{User|Raven Effect}}

| Do the winged Big Buzzy Beetles in the ''Mario Maker'' games count as [[Heavy Para-Beetle|Heavy Para-Beetles]]? While they are the same in that they are large Para-Beetles, they do not behave in the same way, instead rising upwards when stepped on, like normal-sized versions.

| :You raise a good point. After all, if a game were to feature regular "Big" variants of [[Hammer Bro]]s or [[Fire Bro]]s, we wouldn't consider those to be redesigned [[Sledge Bro]]s and [[Heavy Fire Bro]]s. So why do that to this fellow Heavy / ''Mega'' enemy? [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 13:11, January 6, 2025 (EST)
| |
| :I also agree. But I feel like having a separate article for "Mega" or "Big" Para-Beetles would be unnecessary, especially since large Para-Beetles that behave like normal-sized ones do not appear in any other Mario titles, with the only large Para-Beetles being the Heavy Para-Beetles, which, as you stated, behave differently.

| ::Splitting is not the only option. Could also move the info on the embiggened Para-Beetles to [[Para-Beetle]] or, since they the same as their smaller counterparts, remove it entirely. [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 16:57, February 21, 2025 (EST)
