'''Kabutomushi''' are beetles that appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. They appear starting from round 18 (12 in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version) and go down to the bottom of the screen, just like [[Attacker]]s, and then charge across full speed, attempting to hit [[Stanley]].


In ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]'', Kabutomushi fly in groups that reach the bottom of the screen. They make their first appearance [[In the Active Crater]], the fourteenth stage. They take one hit to defeat, and are essentially a slower version of the [[Butterfly (Donkey Kong 3)|Butterfly]].
'''Beetles''' are insects that have made a few appearances throughout the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. Enemies found in ''Mario'' games called [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Parabeetle]]s and [[Buster Beetle]]s don't resemble normal beetles, despite their name, resembling more as [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s instead.

Beetles appear in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' episode "[[Princess, I Shrunk the Mario Brothers]]", where they have a rather minor role. A quartet of Beetles are shown to be living inside a drainpipe that a shrunken [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] take refuge inside of. As the Beetles are hungry, they chase Mario and Luigi through the drainpipe in an attempt to eat them, although Mario and Luigi manage to escape. In this appearance, the four Beetles resemble a cross between an insect and [[List of Implied People#The Beatles|The Beatles]].

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Booster]] collects beetles, but does not catch them himself, instead forcing his [[Snifit]]s to make a hobby of capturing the beetles for him. By renting a [[Special Items (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Beetle Box]] for 150 [[coin]]s 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 Snifits. Each Beetle can then be traded at [[Beetles Are Us]] for a predetermined amount of coins. Golden Beetles are worth one [[Frog Coin]], male Beetles are worth fifty coins, and females only one coin. A Beetle also appears as a playable character in the [[Beetle Mania]] game that can be purchased from the [[Beetle Mania Toad]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] for 500 Coins.
