In the 1986 anime ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'', a large Buzzy Beetle appears during a walking montage scene. It walks forward with a smaller Buzzy Beetle behind it. However, [[Mario]] uses the power of the [[Fire Flower|flower]] he had recently acquired to throw a [[fireball]] at it. This defeats the Buzzy Beetle, although Buzzy Beetles are impervious to fireballs in the games.

Big Buzzy Beetles are present yet again in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Buzzy Beetle with a [[Super Mushroom]], and thus the implication of Big Buzzy Beetles within the game. Big Buzzy Beetles are no longer immune to lava like in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''; they simply sink into the lava to be consistant with other enemies.
