Where does it say that they're Koopas?

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". Magikrazy51 (talk)

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)
