!Buzzy Beetle

----

|First appearing in [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros.)#World 4-2|World 4-2]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'', [[Buzzy Beetle]]s are extremely hard-shelled Koopas. They are small in size with a dark blue shell; this shell, though similar in appearance to a typical [[Koopa Shell]], protects them from being harmed by [[fireball]]s. However, Buzzy Beetles are still vulnerable to being flipped over onto their backs — or into their shells — and being kicked around to harm other enemies; Buzzy Beetle shells will ricochet off of any hard surface and come rocketing back to the player to inflict damage if he or she does not avoid it in time. Buzzy Beetles appear in many games as enemies that Mario must fight, along with the dark red shelled [[Spike Top]], which debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and has a large spike on the top of its shell, because of this protection, these red shelled variants must be defeated with a [[Super Star]] or another Koopa Shell. In the ''Paper Mario'' sub-series, Buzzy Beetles appear not only as enemies, but as notable characters such as [[Chan]], [[Torque]], and [[Spiky Joe]]. In these games, Buzzy Beetles are just as impervious to fire as ever, and they even have high defense that protects them from damage.
