'''Beetle''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that gives [[Kirby]] the horn and wings of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. | '''Beetle''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that gives [[Kirby]] the horn and wings of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. It is unique in the fact that after grabbing enemies, Kirby can still walk and jump, albeit more slowly and less high, respectively. Kirby also only faces one direction when carrying enemies, forcing him to walk backwards when moving in the opposite direction, although this has no effect on anything except the direction enemies are thrown. Another notable thing about Beetle is that it has the ability to both pound down [[stake]]s with Hardhead Slam and cut [[rope]]s with the various piercing attacks and the simple act of using the in-built wings. Combined with its grappling function and burst capabilities, Beetle is an extremely versatile ability, on par with the likes of [[Master]] in its ability to solve many puzzles and deal with enemies. The ability's only natural providers are the enemy [[Beetley]] and the mid-boss [[Hornhead]]. It was introduced in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' along with [[Bell]], [[Circus]], [[Archer]], and [[Hypernova]]. It later returned in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' and ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' after being absent from ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', and made its latest appearance in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''. | ||

Beetle appears as one of the selectable copy abilities in this spin-off title. It is a starter ability which does not need to be unlocked. The main power of Beetle is its ability to grab other fighters using the Rocket Horn technique, then slamming them into the ground to deal massive damage. This is a good way to intercept other players, and force them to drop any items they may be carrying, as well as moving them forcefully toward or away from certain spots. | Beetle appears as one of the selectable copy abilities in this spin-off title.
