{{Quote|<big>“I was the king of insects!”</big>

This aging insect king passed on his title to [[Beetley|someone younger]]. Now he’s off to fight dark forces with techniques that would put a wrestler to shame. What a mandible!|[[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!|Guest Star Bugzzy What's the Bug Idea?]] Pause Screen description in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''}}

The appearance of Bugzzy is similar to that of a stag beetle, but he has a humanoid body structure, with only four limbs and an upright posture. He wears white gloves and shoes, though in some games, his shoes match the purple color of his carapace. He has a blue thorax with two pairs of wings on his back encased in a elytra, which he can use to fly in a similar manner to [[Beetley]] and [[Beetle]] Kirby.

In battle, Bugzzy can shoot ladybugs. He can also stomp on [[Kirby]], and toss him around. He will typically attack by either charging straight forward or jumping on Kirby from above. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', he is also capable of lunging from the air. In games before ''Kirby Star Allies'', Bugzzy does not drop [[Drop Star]]s when he attacks, meaning that only his ladybugs can be used against him.

Bugzzy appears in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and [[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|its remake]] as one of the Mid Bosses, and is the only enemy that gives the Backdrop ability. Once Kirby is in his grasp, Bugzzy will either leap forward and drive him into the ground, slam him backwards or pound him repeatedly. Bugzzy may also fly into the air and hover in pursuit of Kirby, and will ensnare him if he gets close enough. Bugzzy supplies ammunition to use against himself in the form of two Bugzzy Jrs. that he releases into the air. These ladybugs slowly flutter and home in on Kirby.

In ''[[Kirby's Avalanche]]'', Bugzzy appears in Stage 7 as one of Kirby's opponents. Here's he is depicted as being seemingly incapable of speech, instead greeting Kirby with a loud roar. His in-game abbreviation is "BUGZ".

|Bugzzy leaps into the air and stomps the ground, creating a [[Drop Star]] in the direction he is facing. Alternatively, Bugzzy jumps three times in a row and does not create Drop Stars.

Bugzzy returns in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' as a mid-boss and as a recruitable ally. This marks his first appearance in 3-D, and he has been given a bit of a remodel; sporting a larger head in proportion to his body. He still provides the Suplex ability when inhaled, and reprises his role as the ability's friend. As a mid-boss, he has access to new attacks upon grabbing someone and can do a Dash Grab move in the air. A stronger version of Bugzzy also appears in later stages, with a black exoskeleton, a red belly, red eyes and purple limbs. This version can also use the Pinpoint Kick as an attack, among minor alterations to his pre-existing moves.

The following is a list of attacks Bugzzy can perform as a mid-boss in ''Kirby Star Allies''. Italics denote variations done by his harder variation only.

|Jump

|Dash Grab

|Bugzzy pulls back a bit and then proceeds to lunge forward. If he grabs someone, he will immediately then perform one of these moves on the affected target: Back Breaker, Body Slam, Big Suplex or Pile Driver. If he misses, then after a set distance, he will stagger for a short time. If the move is started close to a wall, he might slam into it, knocking himself out for a few seconds. Stars drop only if Bugzzy smashes into the wall.

|His regular version may do this move twice in a row in the second phase, with brief charge-up times for each. ''His harder version can turn around once or twice before stopping. He will smash into the wall after the second turnaround. His harder version can also do the standard Dash Grab in mid-air instead of just on ground level. The second phase of his harder version's battle might have him instead aim a mid-air Dash Grab diagonally downwards. Upon hitting the ground, he knocks himself out for a brief second.''

|Ladybugs

|Most of the time, two ladybugs are summoned. ''His harder version summons four ladybugs in the second phase.''

|Fly

|''Pinpoint Kick''

|''Bugzzy jumps in the air and then slams down feet-first on a chosen target. This repeats three times.''
