Beetle (Item)

The Beetle is an item in SS undefined.

Location and Uses
The Beetle is located in Skyview Temple. Link obtains it after defeating a Stalfos in the central room located in the northern chamber, accessible after opening a door by pressing a nearby switch with a shot from the Slingshot.

As its name suggests, the Beetle is a small, flying, insect-like item that can be used to pick up far away objects such as Rupees or Hearts, or even drop things onto enemies, such as Bombs. The Beetle can also be used to sever the stems of Deku Babas, defeating them. Any items that the Beetle picks up will be returned to Link.

When Link uses the Beetle, the camera will follow behind the insect. The Beetle can then be steered by tilting the Wii Remote in the desired direction. If the insect bumps into a wall or is hurt by an enemy, it will be knocked down and return Link. The normal Beetle flies for 30 seconds unless it goes too far away from Link, in which case the time will be cut short and the Beetle will return.

The Beetle can be upgraded in the Lanayru Desert, adding a mandible so that it is able to pick up items. An optional upgrade at the Scrap Shop in the Bazaar allows the Beetle to fly faster. Another upgrade enables it to fly much farther than before.

In the same area, the Beetle is revealed to have been created by the same company that manufactured the LD-Series robots.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U
In, the Beetle appears as an item. Once grabbed, it can be launched towards an opponent, grabbing and then flying upwards with them. A player grabbed by the Beetle can set free by shaking the Control Stick. If attacked, it reverses its direction, going back to its thrower. It also appears as a Trophy.
