The Beetle (ビートル, Beetle) is an item in Super Smash Bros. 4 from The Legend of Zelda series.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
The Beetle is a throwable item in Super Smash Bros. 4. Once picked up, users can throw the Beetle towards opponents, which will grab them and fly up with them. Caught players will be carried up past the upper blast line for a KO regardless of their damage, but can escape like with normal grabs (as seen in this video). However, attacking a thrown Beetle will cause it to reverse direction and potentially attack the original thrower instead.
Trophy information
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.

Origin
The Beetle first appeared in 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.
