Beetle
Artwork from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Beetles appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars as a species collected by various characters. Booster collects beetles, but he does not catch them himself, instead forcing his Snifsters to make a hobby of capturing the beetles for him. By buying a Beetle Box for 10 coins and traveling to Booster Hill, home of the Beetle Race minigame, anyone can join in the fun and try to catch beetles along with the Snifsters. Each beetle can then be traded at Beetles Are Us for a predetermined number of coins. Golden Beetles are worth one Frog Coin, male beetles are worth 50 coins, and female beetles are worth only one coin. A beetle also appears as a playable character in the Beetle Mania game that can be purchased from the Game Boy Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom for 500 coins.
