Buzzy Beetle

He marches relentlessly forward, butting you with the ridge of his... helmet... thing. Oof! Ugh!

He charges you, and you jump on his head, forcing him into his helmet and kicking him away. Then he bounces off a nearby pipe and bangs into your shin really hard. You should pay more attention. Ugh! Oof!

He tramples you, slowly and methodically. Ugh! Ouch!

He tries to hit you with the front edge of his helmet-looking thing, but he misses.

He tries to ram you, but you hop on his shell and disorient him.

Notes

• Only appears after you have ascended, at which point it replaces goombas.

References

• Buzzy Beetles were common enemies in the 1985 NES game, Super Mario Bros.. The fact that it replaces the Goomba after ascension is a subtle reference to the fact that after you beat Super Mario Bros., the game begins again, with the Goombas replaced by Buzzy Beetles.
