The Beetle first appeared in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword}}'' | The Beetle first appeared in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword}}''. It is effectively a replacement for the Boomerang, in that it is capable of cutting ropes, dealing minor damage to or stunning weaker enemies, and collecting items for Link. Unlike the Boomerang, it can be upgraded to pick up bombs and drop them, and it cannot be used directly in battle to stun larger enemies; it can also be maneuvered after release, unlike a thrown boomerang. | ||

The Beetle is a throwable item. It is one of the two new items introduced in ''Smash 4'' (the second being the [[Boss Galaga]]) that can potentially | The Beetle is a throwable item. It is one of the two new items introduced in ''Smash 4'' (the second being the [[Boss Galaga]]) that can potentially [[OHKO]] opponents by sending them to the upper blast line. It can be picked up and thrown at an opponent: it will fly in a straight line in the direction it is thrown (including up or down). If an opponent gets hit by it, the Beetle then [[grab]]s its target and flies up quickly, attempting to carry them above the upper [[blast line]] for a [[KO]]. For the victim, the Beetle is fortunately treated as a grab and can be escaped by button mashing, [http://youtu.be/Idw0P5x5b14?t=3h29m49s as seen in this video]. However, it is almost impossible to shake out of the Beetle once the victim is over 50%, and it takes some time to escape at 0% as well. This item is affected by other items such as the Metal Box in which the player will be too heavy to be quickly carried off-screen and eventually let go and disappear or fighters may not be affected at all when under the effects of a [[Super Mushroom]], [[Poison Mushroom]], or [[Lightning]] (including backfire) thus when the Beetle hits a player with one of these effects, it'll bounce back and if it lands on the ground it'll be ready for use again. Players launched into a moving Beetle will be caught by it as they fly sideways. | ||
Attacking a thrown Beetle causes it to reverse direction and potentially attack the original thrower instead. | |||

However, a new detail was added that if a character gets [[Screen KO]]'d by the Beetle, it will remain latched on to them as they get KO'd. In addition, the Beetle always carry the player into a Screen KO in most stages. | ||

*In | *In Skyward Sword, the Beetle in its base form was unable to pick up items and merely dealt damage until it was upgraded (which replaced its blade for pincers). The Beetle's design in SSB4 is this initial one, and thus its ability to grab onto and carry enemies in this game is inaccurate. | ||
*Very rarely, when the Beetle sends the player up in the blast line, they will instead get [[Star KO]]’d instead of a Screen KO. | |||
