Iridescent Glint Beetle is an enemy from Pikmin 2.

In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

Iridiscent Glint Beetles appear as enemies in Smash Run. When launched they drop gold, with the exact amount dependent on how far they're launched. After being launched five times (or after enough time elapses), they will dig underground and escape.

In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

As one of the possible random events in Smash Tour, some Iridescent Glint Beetles appear on the board. If a player walks into any of them it will drop treasures such as items and fighters.

Trophy Description

Hope you're not scared of bugs... In Pikmin, these guys drop nectar, but in Smash Run they drop coins instead. They hide, waiting for fighters to get too close...then strike! They're tough to catch, but your reward for success is coins, coins, coins. They'll slink away to sulk after being properly robbed.

Origin

Iridescent Glint Beetles are golden, sparkling versions of Iridescent Flint Beetles that drop items such as pellets when hit in the same way Flint Beetles do (but in greater quantities), and are much more rare. Instead of dropping nectar like Flint Beetles, they drop doses of spray, and underground variants will drop treasures. They are incapable of directly harming Pikmin. When it appears, its shiny body distracts all nearby idle Pikmin, causing them to chase after it.
