Battle Beetle (ヘラクラス Herakurasu?) is an enemy in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. It is based on a flying Atlas beetle. Battle Beetle flies up and hover down smoothly in the position of Mario.
Battle Beetles are encountered in the Tree Zone and Macro Zone. Their attacks can be avoided by running underneath them at the height of their jumps or hitting it mid-flight. The player can also simply just use a simple jump or Fireball attack to defeat them.
Battle Beetles sport a similar appearance to Hercules Beetles, but are close to Mario's size. In Macro Zone, however, since Mario has shrunk, Battle Beetles are the same size as regular beetles.
In volume 9 of Super Mario-kun, Battle Beetles make an appearance. Here, they are defeated by Bunny Mario.
