Flipbugs[1] are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are small beetle-like insects with Mandibug-style faces that appear mostly in the Honeyhive Galaxy and Gold Leaf Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy, and the Yoshi Star Galaxy, the Puzzle Plank Galaxy, and the Honeyhop Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. Flipbugs stand in one spot in their calm state. When the player approaches one of them as regular Mario, the Flipbug makes a frantic attempt to flee from him. If it cannot get to a spot that puts Mario outside the aggro range, it will then fall onto its back in fear, making it vulnerable to attack. If Mario touches one while they fly away from him, he remains unharmed, and could even spin them if so desired. However, if the player approaches one as Bee Mario, the Flipbugs will assume an "angry" expression, unfold their wings, and slowly hover after Mario, which can cause damage if they collide with the plumber. This implies that Flipbugs have a strong dislike of Honeybees.
