Buzzy Beetle You're fighting a Buzzy Beetle

This is a beetle that is functionally identical to a turtle. Visually, though, it's pretty distinct -- black instead of green, head on the bottom instead of the top.

It doesn't really seem to notice you, but since you're in the way of its relentless forward march, it looks like you're going to have to throw down.

Hit Message(s):

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

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! Ow!

He tramples you, slowly and methodically. Ow! Ow!

Critical Hit Message:

not known

Miss Message(s):

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.

Fumble Message:

not known

Occurs at The Inexplicable Door.

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.
