'''Beetle''' is a [[Copy Ability]] that gives [[Kirby]] the horn and wings of a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. Unlike many abilities with enemy-grabbing moves, Kirby can still walk and jump after grabbing, 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 built-in 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 debuts in this game, and can be obtained from [[Beetley]] or the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Hornhead]]. It is a versatile ability, granting Kirby the ability to fly with wings, cut [[Rope]]s, pound [[Stake]]s, and grab enemies with the beetle horn. This makes it handy for solving many puzzles in the game.

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.

In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Beetle is a recurring [[Copy Ability]]. It first appears in ''[[Kirby's Labyrinth Rescue!]]'', and it also makes appearances in various other novels. With this Copy Ability, [[Kirby (novel character)|Kirby]] can use moves such as Horn Flurry, Rocket Horn, and Crown Drop.
In ''Kirby's Labyrinth Rescue!'', Kirby gains the Beetle ability by inhaling [[Hornhead]] which [[Waddle Dee (novel character)|Waddle Dee]] brought. He uses it to try and fight the giant Magolor, but it only tickles him. Once he sees that it doesn't work, Kirby drops it for another Copy Ability.
In ''[[Kirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!]]'', a Kirby copy uses the Beetle ability in a match against Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee in the [[Battle Arena]]. He uses this ability to toss the unconscious Waddle Dee to the air, which angers Kirby. Beetle Kirby is eventually defeated by Kirby.
In ''[[Kirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!]]'', Kirby gains the ability by inhaling Hornhead. He uses it to fight [[Bugzzy]] after [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] was captured by him. Kirby defeats Bugzzy by throwing him into the air and dropping him.
