Heavy Para-Beetle

Heavy Para-Beetles are a sub-species of Para-Beetles that appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They only appear in World 7-6, along with its smaller relatives. They act as platforms for Mario and company. Despite being three times the size of a normal Para-Beetle, the Heavy Para-Beetle cannot stand the weight of any character and begin to descend when stepped on, unlike their smaller cousins, who rise. Like normal Para-Beetles, the Heavy Para-Beetles can only be defeated by running into it with a Starman. They don't hurt the character while he is standing on its shell, but its exposed head and underside can.
