In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can hop on their back for a ride, allowing them to traverse air levels and making them one of the very few enemies that cannot be defeated by jumping on them. They are immune to fireballs, but vulnerable to [[Raccoon Mario]]'s tail attacks, [[Super Star]]s and [[hammer]]s. They are found only in [[Sky Land]]'s [[World 5-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 5-6]], as well as in the e-reader level [[Para Beetle Challenge]] in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|Game Boy Advance version]].

Para-Beetles return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they are slower and larger than they are in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. There is also a huge new derived species known as the [[Heavy Para-Beetle]]. If Mario steps on a regular Para-Beetle, it will start to rise to the top of the screen; if Mario jumps on a Heavy Para-Beetle, it will start to fall slowly. They only appear in [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]]. If players jump on eight Para-Beetles consecutively without touching the ground, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] falls from the sky.

Sprites found in prototype revisions of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' include those for Para-Beetles, which were not included in the final game. According to the sprites, they would have used a color scheme not found in the final game, though they were also incomplete.<ref>[https://twitter.com/IsoFrieze/status/1286734775458422785 Twitter post showing early SMW tiles].
