Buzzy Beetle

Buzzy Beetles are black insects with a hard, outer shell (much like Koopa Troopas). Buzzy Beetles will hide in their shells if jumped on, and, like a Koopa shell, can be kicked to eliminate more enemies. The shell of the Buzzy Beetle is strong enough ro resist fireballs, and as such, they cannot be defeated by fire, (unlike Koopa Troopas).

Buzzy Beetles first appeared in World 4-2 of Super Mario Bros., in an underground level. The game Super Mario Bros. 3 reveals that Buzzy Beetles can also climb on ceilings. To attack intruders, they can drop, and spin along the ground to attack.

Buzzy Beetles also appear in the Paper Mario series and the New Super Mario Bros.
