There are two Rift Scuttlers on the map, one in the top half of the river and one in the bottom half of the river. If one of them touches Mario, he jumps lower and moves slower until it is removed, very similar to Mini Goombas in other games. The reduced size of the first Rift Scuttler spawn is inherited by the character that moves to become the speed shrine ward. She has -100% Tenacity; crowd control effects that are affected by Tenacity last twice as long against her. Scuttlebugs are commonly seen hanging from webs and attack from them, a Scuttlebug can either hang from its web or drop from it's web and attack.

The Scuttlebugs can also change their position on their strings to avoid hammer and ground attacks, similar to that of Piders and Arantulas from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.There are also miniature Scuttlebugs that cannot be battled, but chase Mario if he gets close to them. Unlike other monsters, Rift Scuttlers spawn with one level below the average of all champions' levels (capped at level 1). This minigame also introduces golden Scuttlebugs, giving the team three points instead of one if hit. If a hanging Scuttlebug is battled, it can only slam into Mario, but with a much higher damage ratio. If a Honeyfruit drops its fruits near a Rift Scuttler, she will dash to the closest fruit and eat it, blocking the fruit for up to 10 seconds, after which the fruit disappears.

Scuttlebugs can be defeated with stomps or the effects of a Fire Flower, Super Leaf, Gold Flower, Starman, Mega Mushroom, or Invincibility Leaf however defeating them immediately isn't usually ideal as they can be hopped off of to reach high ledges. In this level, the Scuttlebugs are shown to live in the Burrow and kidnap Kersti and the Wiggler Segment after Mario takes a nasty fall losing his Hammer, Kersti, and all of his Stickers.
