Buzzy Beetle (メット, Met) is a enemy from the Mario universe. They act much like the Koopa Troopas, only they cannot be beaten with fireballs, and can jump from the ceiling. Once the original Super Mario Bros. had been completed, most enemies would be replaced with these.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
In Super Smash Bros.
Buzzy Beetle appears as a background character on the Mushroom Kingdom stage, jumping on a Springboard.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Buzzy Beetle appears as a regular trophy, appearing randomly during the Adventure Mode, Boss Battles, All-Star Mode, or collected through the Coin Launcher game.
Trophy Description
A Koopa underling with a heavy shell protecting it from fire. Stomping on Buzzy Beetles from above is the main way to deal with them, but spiked variations that cannot be stomped also exist. After saving Princess Peach in Super Mario Bros. and starting a new game, you'll find that most Goombas have turned into Buzzy Beetles.
