Heavy Scuttlebugs are mini-bosses in Mario Tennis Fever. They are large variants of Scuttlebugs that are furrier and are infused with power from the tree. Only two of them appear in the game in the Valley of the Monsters. They are members of the Monsters and resemble their leader, King Scuttlebug. The first one appears after the first two battles. This Heavy Scuttlebug appears under the name of ???. It has three Fuzzies floating around it and is imbued with a dark fog. It begins attacking by launching the Fuzzies at the player, who must return them with the racket to the red panels in the arena. After all the panels are deactivated, the Heavy Scuttlebug will perform a powerful attack, launching all the dark fog surrounding it toward the player. This attack must be returned in order to damage the Heavy Scuttlebug. After taking damage, the Heavy Scuttlebug will surround itself with fog again and activate more red panels. After the Heavy Scuttlebug is damaged once more, it will activate all the red panels in the arena and awaken two Dry Bones present in the arena to help it in combat. These Dry Bones will return the Fuzzies launched at them with their own rackets. To temporarily stun them, the player must attack them from the sides. After the Heavy Scuttlebug is damaged for the third time, it explodes, allowing passage. The second Heavy Scuttlebug appears two fights away from the previous one. It emerges from the ruins and has no dark fog surrounding it. It attacks the player by using its spiderweb to drag the Fuzzies around it and then launch them toward the player; these Fuzzies must be returned to it in order to damage it. Also, occasionally, Brolders emerge from the ruins between the Heavy Scuttlebug and roll forward. After the Heavy Scuttlebug loses a third of its health bar, it will jump on the ruins to the left. Here, the Heavy Scuttlebug charges a dark fog to launch at the player; this fog must be returned to damage it, similar to the previous Heavy Scuttlebug. The Heavy Scuttlebug will occasionally jump to the left or right, changing its position. In the arena, more Brolders will appear rolling, and now Scuttlebugs will appear from the ceiling. After losing two-thirds of its health, the Heavy Scuttlebug will jump to the ruins on the right, where it will now perform a faster combination of attacks from the first and second phases. It can also now jump to the platforms in front of the ruins. After losing all its health, the Heavy Scuttlebug will explode, allowing access to the final boss.
