Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling is a 2019 role-playing video game developed by Moonsprout Games and published by Dangen Entertainment. Taking inspiration in art and gameplay from the first two Paper Mario games, the game's plot centers around three bugs (Vi, Kabbu, and Leif) as they search the mythical land of Bugaria in pursuit of the Everlasting Sapling, an item capable of eternal life. Along the way, they meet rival teams, past traumas, and other roadblocks hunting for the titular sapling.

The game was released on November 21, 2019, for Microsoft Windows, on May 28, 2020, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and on July 1, 2021, for Amazon Luna. It received positive reviews from critics, who praised its characters, combat system, presentation, and amount of content, but criticized its control issues.
