"Accurate winged missile."
―In game Pause Menu, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
"A set of wings allows this missile to glide, contacting many enemies."
―In-game text, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X

Banzai Beetle (バンザイビートル Banzai Bītoru) is an Arm-type missile weapon that Vile obtains by defeating Launch Octopus and Storm Eagle in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. This weapon fires a winged missile forward. Range is at least a full screen width, and the player can rapid-fire this to have as many on the screen as they have Weapon Energy for. Even the wings on the missile can strike enemies, so the missile is very easy to hit things with. However, it is also very easy to accidentally hit a ledge or something instead of the player's intended target, since the missile cannot go through objects.

Banzai Beetle is Boomerang Kuwanger and Flame Mammoth's weaknesses.
