Template:Species-infobox A Bony Beetle is an undead skeletal version of a Buzzy Beetle that has made minor appearances throughout the Mario series.

History

Super Mario World

Bony Beetle SMW.png

They first appeared in Super Mario World, where they would walk around, then stop and stick out spikes. They can be defeated with the swing of a cape, but are immune to Fireballs, so timing is critical. Bony Beetles were first seen in the corridors of Ludwig von Koopa's castle.

Paper Mario

Bony Beetles, as they appear in Paper Mario.

They are later seen in Paper Mario in an underground section of Bowser's Castle (and several other places), with a complete makeover. They're defeated basically the same way as Dry Bones, but harder, so the player should whack them with the Hammer often when fighting them. They would engage battle with Mario in different ways depending on if their back spikes were extended. If their spikes stuck out, they would jump onto Mario, doing five damage; they would also be naturally spiked. If their spikes were retracted, they would simply Shell Toss for three damage instead. They would also sometimes retract their spikes in or out after being attacked.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Bony Beetles also appear in the World-e level Swinging Bars of Doom from Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. They look and act the same exact way as in Super Mario World.
