A '''Battle Beetle'''<ref name=ENG>''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins'' English instruction booklet, page 13.</ref> is a flying beetle (identified as a {{wp|Japanese rhinoceros beetle}} in the Japanese version<ref name=JPN>''Super Mario Land 2: 6-tsu no Kinka'' Japanese instruction booklet, page 16.</ref> and an {{wp|Atlas beetle}} in the English version<ref name=ENG/>) in the [[Tree Zone]] level [[The Exit]] and the [[Macro Zone]] level [[In the Syrup Sea]] found in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''.

Battle Beetles simply walk forward until they reach a ledge. When they do, they fly straight up, then slowly hover down at an angle towards [[Mario]]. A Battle Beetle can be defeated with a [[jump]] on the head or with a [[fireball]]. Battle Beetles look much like {{wp|Hercules beetle}}s, but are roughly Mario's size.

A Battle Beetle also appears in volume 7 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', where Mario gets robbed by it and, while engaging a battle with it, the Battle Beetle hits a branch from which a [[Heavy Zed]] falls, squashing and defeating it. In volume 9, another Battle Beetle appears and is defeated by [[Bunny Mario]].
