Scuttle Bugs first appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and later in its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They act similarly to [[Goomba]]s; when in range, they charge at [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]], and [[punch]]ing and stepping on their heads defeat them. They live in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]] and outside [[Big Boo's Haunt]]. The only differences between Goombas are that they give three [[coin]]s instead of just one, they can change the home area they patrol,<ref>pannenkoek2012 (January 12, 2016).

''YouTube''. Retreived April 24, 2023.</ref> their behavior is shared with grounded [[Skeeter]]s. In the remake, Scuttle Bugs have been redesigned to have black and yellow stripes like a bee, a distinct head, legs of the same color as their bodies, and red suction cup-like feet. | |||
In [[ | In [[list of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|pre-release]] versions of the original, Scuttle Bugs have a mahogany, modeled body instead of the flat marble-like texture, and also have bushy, angry eyebrows.<ref>[[tcrf:File:SM64-EarlyScuttlebug.gif|TCRF]]</ref> | ||

Scuttlebugs appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' under their current name, reusing their redesigned appearance from ''Super Mario 64 DS''. They can be found hanging down from webs in [[World 4-1 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-1]]. They repeatedly move up and down, and can prove to be useful in giving some extra height by jumping off of them. They also appear in [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]], where they ceaselessly drop down from the top of the stage in pairs of two. They detach from their webs almost immediately, and drop onto the ground to give chase. | Scuttlebugs appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' under their current name, reusing their redesigned appearance from ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

Their appearance has changed; instead of being yellow with three black stripes and having black heads, they are yellow with two purple stripes and purple heads, as well as having white mandibles. Their legs also no longer end in suction cups, instead having clenched boxing gloves.

Scuttlebugs appear | Scuttlebugs appear also in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. They appear in only one [[minigame]]: a 2-Vs.-2 minigame named [[Crazy Crosshairs]], with their ''Super Mario 64 DS'' appearance. Both teams must hit the Scuttlebugs with toy tanks on a spiderweb. This minigame also introduces golden Scuttlebugs, giving the team three points instead of one if hit. In the same game, the player can win a Scuttlebug Rival Badge and a Scuttlebug Trophy by getting MP Points, and look at them in Gallery Mode. The character figure information on the Scuttlebug refers to the plunger-like feet as shoes. | ||

Scuttlebugs | Scuttlebugs make their ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', where they use their ''Super Mario 64 DS'' design for the last time. They are only found in [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 3]]. Many walk around on the ground, while others are attached to the ceiling using thread-like webs. If Mario battles a Scuttlebug on the ground, the enemy can either slam into Mario or shoot a web at him. If a hanging Scuttlebug is battled, it can only slam into Mario, but with a much higher damage ratio. The Scuttlebugs can also change their position on their strings to avoid hammer and ground attacks, similar to that of [[Pider]]s and [[Arantula]]s from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Scuttlebugs hold a [[Wiggler Segment]] hostage in [[Rustle Burrow]], an area with most of its inhabitants being Scuttlebugs. | ||
There are also [[Co Gasagoso|miniature Scuttlebugs]] that cannot be battled, but chase Mario if he gets close to them. If one of them touches Mario, he jumps lower and moves slower until it is removed, very similar to [[Mini Goomba]]s in other games. They can be defeated by hitting them with a hammer, using a [[Super Star]], or jumping on them. Defeating one results in getting a coin or a Jump sticker, unless a Super Star is used, in which case only the coin drops. A [[Big Scuttlebug]] also appears as a mini-boss. | There are also [[Co Gasagoso|miniature Scuttlebugs]] that cannot be battled, but chase Mario if he gets close to them.

Scuttlebugs appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as obtainable assistants. They also appear in the background of [[World 9 (Dr. Mario World)|World 9]] when an area has been cleared. In stage mode, its effect is to increase the skill meter by an extra portion if red viruses are eliminated, so for example if the percentage is 10% the skill meter is filled by an extra 0.1 points per red virus eliminated. In versus mode, its effect is to reduce the time before the stage starts shrinking the playing field by a percentage, which can stack with [[Octoomba]]'s versus effect to further reduce the time. | Scuttlebugs appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as obtainable assistants.
