Paper Mario 2 Stats and Tattle Information

 * Stats:
 * HP: 5
 * Attack: 3
 * Defense: 4
 * Locations: Glitzville
 * Tattle Log: The sturdiest of all the Buzzy Beetles, a Red Spike Top is impervious to fire and explosions. Plus, the spike on its back protects it from being flipped over.
 * Tattle: That's a Red Spike Top. It's the most well protected of the Buzzy Beetle species. Max HP is 5, Attack is 3, and Defense is a whopping 5. Yup... This guy is HARD! It has really high Defense, and fire and explosions don't hurt it at all. If we can just find a way to flip it over, its underside has Defense of 0... And that spike... What a pain!  There's gotta be a way to flip it over...

Field Tattle

 * "That guy's Spiky Joe. He's a major-leaguer, so we'll see him in the ring. He's super-proud of his hard shell and the pointy spike on top of it. Whatever."
