'''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 buying a [[Beetle Box]] for 10 [[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 [[Game Boy Toad]] in the [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]] for 500 coins.

==Trivia==
*The explanation for the price difference between male and female beetles is due to real-life male kabutomushi being more valued for their horns that female kabutomushi lack.<ref>{{cite|author=philh0use|date=April 19, 2022|title=[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1460870580?collection=avS2H8152RaH6Q&t=0h45m21s Super Mario RPG Ep. 8] (Mario RPG Translation Toast)|publisher=Twitch|accessdate=May 5, 2022}}</ref> This {{wp|sexual dimorphism}} can also be noticed in-game.
