“Welcome to "Beetles Are Us"! If this is your first time, you need to pay an initiation fee.”

—Snifit,Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

Beetles Are Us is a store that buysbeetles inSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits Nintendo Switch remake. Its name comes fromToys "R" Us and its spinoff brands. It is seated inSeaside Town and is run by aSnifster. Beetles Are Us is the "biggest beetle market in the known world."^[1]Mario cannot buy beetles here; however, he can catch some atBooster Hill and sell them to Beetles Are Us. To begin, Mario must first buy aBeetle Box for 50coins, with an additional 100-coin fee if it is his first time. Mario must then go to Booster Hill and catch beetles while running down the hill in theBeetle Race minigame. After catching beetles, Mario is paidmoney depending on how many and what kinds of beetles he caught. Regular female beetles are worth 1 coin, regular male beetles are worth 50 coins, and golden beetles are worth 1Frog Coin each. After turning in his beetles, Mario has to rent another Beetle Box to continue catching beetles.

Notes[edit]

In the Japanese version, the unnamed Snifit is under the employ of someone only referred to as「社長しゃちょう」(shachō, "president"), implied to beBooster. This is completely erased from the English version outside of a vague reference to another person in the Snifit's line, "We run a beetle business here." The other languages in the remake restore this mention.
