Talk:Buzzy Beetle

Where does it say that they're Koopas? - Yoshi Master

Koopa or beetle?
I'm Confused if they're either koopas or beetles?--Fg 19:46, 26 January 2007 (EST)


 * They are Buzzy Beetles. Spinies are Koopas who are also related to Buzzy Beetles. Spinies are like a Buzzy Beetle-Koopa hybird. But Buzzy Beetles themselves are just Buzzy Beetles (not Koopas). -- Son of Suns


 * Same with Spike-tops.

But they are not beetles, they are turtles, whilst the Koopas are tortoises.Koopaman (I spelled it without a capital ``M`` this time!!!!)

I was just about to ask the same thing. I remember seeing in a manual for a Mario game that they are "big freakin bugs with shells made of diamond". Plus their name is "BUZZY BEETLES".

Section Deleted
I deleted the Super Princess Peach section, as it had nothing to do with Buzzy Beetles-only spike tops. If anyone objects, heres what the section said:

"Spike Tops appear in Super Princess Peach, where they are, for some reason, called "Mecha-Spike Tops". The game subsequently also features Mad Mecha-Spike Tops, which are influenced by the Rage Vibe."

“that more recent games even confirm that Buzzy Beetles are indeed a type of Koopa“
I did a quick Ctrl+f on the official bios:

NSMBW: “These blue-shelled beetles are tough enemies to crack”

SMM: "Koopas aren't the only shell game in town—you can also hop on a Buzzy Beetle to surf in style!”

SSB4: “Mario's fireballs have no effect on these guys, much to the envy of their Koopa buddies.”

Where is it confirmed that they’re koopas? Somethingone (talk) 06:45, November 15, 2021 (EST)
 * Brawl trophy. Also several Japanese bios. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:37, November 15, 2021 (EST)
 * Can you list some of these "japanese bios"? Somethingone (talk) 13:39, November 15, 2021 (EST)
 * I can't type Japanese on this keyboard. Regardless, they are consistently listed as "Kame-zoku" (Turtle tribe, ie Koopa). The "Koopa" things from the bios you were showing were clearly from unenviable people who think "Koopa" means "Troopa." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 13:46, November 15, 2021 (EST)
