Buster Beetle appears to be a relative of original Koopa Troop member Buzzy Beetle, though apart from the black shell they don't really have much in common.  On the plus side, Buster is able to chuck the same kinds of blocks Mario can, pretty well too, putting him a step above your basic enemy who relies on the touch of death.  On tne down side, unlike his cousin Buster's upright position means he is not immune to fireballs, a quality of Buzzy that is both effective and distinctive.  Despite this, I think Buster deserves more respect and another game appearance.

In Season Two of Roy's Sports Hall, he rattled over three victories to make it into Round Three, but was blocked from advancing by Blooper.  As the 37 seed in the Season Ten Tournament, Buster Beetle threw a lot of blocks.  And even used a few items.  But in the end, his chances were devoured by the Underchomp and Buster was eliminated.
