'''Bugzzy''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], debuting in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', where he gives out the [[Backdrop]] [[Copy Ability|ability]]. He later returns in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', this time yielding the [[Suplex]] ability and also acting as its [[helper]]. Bugzzy also appears in both games' remakes, ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', as well as being fought in ''[[Kirby's Avalanche]]''.

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 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.

|Dash Grab
|'''Dash Grab'''
|Bugzzy pulls back a bit and then proceeds to lunge forward. If he grabs someone, he will immediately 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.

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.''

[[File:V18 Bugzzy Illustration.jpg|thumb|100px|An illustration of Bugzzy from ''Kirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!''.]]
In the [[Kirby (novel series)|''Kirby'' novel series]], Bugzzy appears in ''[[Kirby: Uproar at the Kirby Café?!]]''. After [[Kirby (novel series)|Kirby]] inhales [[Hornhead]] and gets the [[Beetle]] copy ability, Bugzzy, the leader of the insects comes to and is asked by the [[Beetley]]s to help against him. Bugzzy is mad that Kirby and [[King Dedede (novel character)|King Dedede]] came to take the [[Green Spider Grass]] and rushes towards Kirby. Kirby avoids him and Bugzzy rams into a crate, blowing Dedede away in the process. King Dedede tries to fight him by swinging a piece of crate at him, but Bugzzy dodges. Bugzzy grabs Dedede's body to lift and slams him to the floor. Kirby attacks Bugzzy with the Beetle copy ability and flings him into the air. Kirby catches him with his horn and drops him, winning the fight. When Bugzzy regains his consciousness, he admires Kirby's strength. Kirby tells him why they need the Green Spider Grass. Bugzzy tells them about the insect who bit Dedede, apologizes and gives them the Green Spider Grass.
