The Beetle (ビートル, Bītoru) is an item in Super Smash Bros. 4 from The Legend of Zelda series.

In Super Smash Bros. 4

The Beetle is a throwable item in Super Smash Bros. 4. Once picked up, users can throw the Beetle towards opponents, which will grab them and fly up with them. Caught players will be carried up past the upper blast line for a KO regardless of their damage, but can escape like with normal grabs (as seen in this video). However, attacking a thrown Beetle will cause it to reverse direction and potentially attack the original thrower instead.

Origin

The Beetle first appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. It is effectively a replacement for the Boomerang, in that it is capable of cutting ropes, dealing minor damage to or stunning weaker enemies, and collecting items for Link. Unlike the Boomerang, it can be upgraded to pick up bombs and drop them, and it cannot be used directly in battle to stun larger enemies.
