The Beetle (ビートル, Beetle) is an item in from The Legend of Zelda series.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
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 grabs its target and flies up quickly, attempting to carry them above the upper blast line for an instant KO. For the victim, the Beetle is fortunately treated as a grab and can be escaped by button mashing, 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.
Attacking a thrown Beetle causes it to reverse direction and potentially attack the original thrower instead.
Trophy information
The Beetle trophy appear in both versions. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U it is part of the Skyward Sword Trophy Box.
- Beetle
A remote-controlled item shaped like a little bug, Link used this item in his adventures to collect far-off items. In Smash Bros., tossed Beetles will fly straight ahead, grab foes, and carry them into the sky. If one grabs you, wiggle with all your might to break free!
A small, automated insect-like item. Throw it and it'll fly straight ahead, grab whichever opponent it finds, and carry them high into the air. If one flies at you, try to dodge it - your shield won't help. If that doesn't work, just wriggle around as much as you can to try to free yourself.
