A quartet of Beetles are shown to be living inside a drainpipe that a shrunken [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] take refuge inside of. As the Beetles are hungry, they chase Mario and Luigi through the drainpipe in an attempt to eat them, although Mario and Luigi manage to escape.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', [[Booster]] collects beetles, but does not catch them himself, instead forcing his [[Snifit]]s to make a hobby of capturing the beetles for him. By renting a [[Special Items (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Beetle Box]] for 150 [[coin]]s and traveling to [[Booster Hill]], home of the [[Beetle Race]] [[minigame]], anyone can join in the fun and try to catch beetles along with the Snifits. Each Beetle can then be traded at [[Beetles Are Us]] for a predetermined amount of coins. Golden Beetles are worth one [[Frog Coin]], male Beetles are worth fifty coins, and females only one coin. A Beetle also appears as a playable character in the [[Beetle Mania]] game that can be purchased from the [[Beetle Mania Toad]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] for 500 Coins.
