A '''Battle Beetle'''<ref name=ENG>''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' English instruction booklet, page 13.</ref> is a flying [[wikipedia:Atlas beetle|atlas beetle]]<ref name=ENG/> in the [[Tree Zone]] and [[Macro Zone]] found in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. Battle Beetles attack by flying into the air and slowly hovering down at an angle. [[Mario]] can avoid this by running under the Battle Beetle at the peak of its jump or hitting it mid-flight. A simple [[jump]] on the head or a [[Fireball]] attack are enough to finish it off. Battle Beetles look much like [[wikipedia:Hercules beetle|Hercules beetles]], but are roughly Mario's size, except when in the [[Macro Zone]], where they are the same size as regular beetles as Mario has been shrunk.
