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 Snifsters to make a hobby of capturing the beetles for him. By renting a Beetle Box for 150 coins 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 Beetle Mania Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom for 500 coins.
