'''Buster Beetles'''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=8}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=M. Arakawa|title=''NES Game Atlas''|page=38}}</ref> are strong and quick-moving bipedal [[Buzzy Beetle]]s that throw [[White Block]]s at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The player can defeat Buster Beetles with any attack for 100 points, as, unlike most other members of the Buzzy Beetle family, Buster Beetles are not impervious to [[fireball]]s, nor do they hide in their [[Buzzy Shell|shells]] when [[stomp]]ed on. Upon defeat, they yield 100 points.
 
==History==
===''Super Mario Bros. 3''===
Buster Beetles move hurriedly on a platform until they encounter a White Block, which they pick up. If [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) is far enough from a Buster Beetle, the enemy remains idle with the White Block above its head; however, if he approaches the enemy, it tosses the White Block at him and resumes moving along the ground. If the White Block hits the player character, he receives damage. The player can defeat Buster Beetles with any attack, as, unlike most other members of the Buzzy Beetle family, Buster Beetles are vulnerable to [[fireball]]s and do not hide in their [[Buzzy Shell|shells]] when [[stomp]]ed on. Upon defeat, they yield 100 points.


A total of 28 Buster Beetles appear in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', with two in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-1]] (where, in the absence of White Blocks, they simply appear as quick-moving enemies, not showing their throwing ability yet), seven in the second pathway of [[World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-2]], another seven in [[World 6-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 6-5]], six in [[World 6-8 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 6-8]], and another six in [[World 6-10]]. Seven more appear in [[Ground Work]], the 25th level of [[World-e]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', bringing the total up to 35. As with Buzzy Beetles, Buster Beetles mostly appear in underground caverns.

===''Super Mario Bros. Print World''===
Aside from [[reissue|remakes]], Buster Beetles do not make any other appearances, but one can be seen on the box art for ''[[Super Mario Bros. Print World]]''. Furthermore, [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa#Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|unshelled blue Koopa Troopas]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and [[Outmaway]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' both attack in a similar way to Buster Beetles by kicking blocks and other objects at the player, though both enemies also have the added ability to stop and kick back an incoming shell, block, or other throwable projectile like [[Galoomba|Goomba]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s, or enemies spat out by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] when ridden by [[Luigi]].
One Buster Beetle can be seen on the box art for ''[[Super Mario Bros. Print World]]''.
