Template:Species-infobox Scuttlebugs (originally phrased Scuttle Bugs[1] and also referred to as Spiders[2][3]) are round striped spiders that act as semi-recurring enemies in the Mario franchise.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
They first appeared in Super Mario 64 and later in its remake Super Mario 64 DS. They act the same as Goombas; when in range they charge at Mario, and punching and stepping on their heads defeats them. They live in Hazy Maze Cave and outside Big Boo's Haunt. The only difference between Goombas is that they give three Coins instead of just one. In the remake, Scuttlebugs have been redesigned to have black and yellow stripes, a distinct head, and red, suction cup-like feet.
In pre-release versions of the original, Scuttlebugs have a red, modeled body instead of the flat marble-like texture, and also have bushy, angry eyebrows.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag[4]
