===''Super Mario 64''=== | |||

They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later in it's remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They 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. | |||
===''New Super Mario Bros.''=== | |||

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. | Scuttlebugs reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', hanging down from webs in World 4-1.

Many varieties of Scuttle Bugs appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. These Scuttle Bugs are striped and, unlike their bright yellow cousins, mostly dark and dull in color. They can be either brown and gray or blue and purple. Some will hang from ceilings and overhangs by a thread of webbing. They appear mostly in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]] and [[Ghostly Galaxy]], and make appearances in other galaxies and [[Bowser Jr.'s Airship Armada]]. They are found in large numbers along the path leading to [[Tarantox]], this may signify that they are related. | Many varieties of Scuttle Bugs appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''.

The grounded Scuttle Bugs will only attack by jumping into the air and floating there for several seconds before falling back to the ground in hopes of landing on [[Mario]]. The kind that hang from ceilings will swing back and forth on their threads like a pendulum in an attempt to damage the player. Both can be stunned by [[Spinning]] and defeated by either kicking the stunned enemy or by a single [[stomp]]. | The grounded Scuttle Bugs will only attack by jumping into the air and floating there for several seconds before falling back to the ground in hopes of landing on [[Mario]].

Scuttle Bugs appear also in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. It appears in only one [[Mini-game]]: a 2-Vs.-2 Mini-game named [[Crazy Crosshairs]]. Both teams must hit the Scuttle Bugs with some toy tanks on a spiderweb. This mini-game also intruduce Gold Scuttle Bugs, gaving the team 3 points instead of one if hit. In the same game, you can win a Scuttle Bug Rival Badge and a Scuttle Bug Trophy by getting MP Points, and look them in Gallery Mode. But here, strangely, the character figure information on the Scuttle Bug refers to the Plunger-like feet as shoes. | Scuttle Bugs appear also in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''.
