Scuttle Bugs (also spelled Scuttlebugs) are round orange bugs in Super Mario 64 that act the same as Goombas; 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.
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.
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.
It is not to be confused with the enemies Skeeter and Pider.
