Red means DANGER. This bug will chase you down, so be careful!
— Patch Plaza

Buttonbugs are flying bee-likeenemies fromKirby's Epic Yarn andKirby's Extra Epic Yarn. They are similar toButtonbees, but are red and will actively chase their target. If Buttonbugs hit a wall, they will be stunned for a short time. Despite their more aggressive nature, Buttonbugs can be defeated using any normal move. When wrapped up into aYarn ball, Buttonbug can be used as a homing projectile that splits into three when thrown.

Locations[edit]

Unlike its generally less temperamental cousins, Buttonbug is fairly rare, as it only appears in theSecret Island stage.
