Beetle (Super Mario RPG): Difference between revisions

no edit summary
(Trivia about the real-life kabutomushi beetles and how the sexual dimorphism was transferred into gameplay (I never even noticed they were different sprites until I watched this). If you wondered why male and female beetles cost have such different prices, there's a good reason that wasn't obvious to westerners.)

'''Beetles''' are a species that appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. [[Booster]] collects beetles, but he does not catch them himself, instead forcing his [[Snifster]]s to make a hobby of capturing the beetles for him. By renting a [[Beetle Box]] for 150 [[coin]]s and traveling to [[Booster Hill]], home of the [[Beetle Race]] [[minigame]], anyone can join in the fun and try to catch beetles along with the Snifsters. Each beetle can then be traded at [[Beetles Are Us]] for a predetermined number of coins. Golden Beetles are worth one [[Frog Coin]], male beetles are worth 50 coins, and female beetles are worth only one coin. A beetle also appears as a playable character in the [[Beetle Mania]] game that can be purchased from the [[Beetle Mania Toad]] in the [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]] for 500 coins.
