'''Bats''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]''. They fly in a straight horizontal line across the screen from a small [[Bird Nest|nest]], making a minor descent and changing direction whenever they pass one of the level's margins, usually traveling past [[rope]]s.

Whenever Bats fly into [[Mario]], they cause Mario to fall off the rope he is currently climbing. In the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] original, they do this by hanging onto and throttling Mario, and he can either survive crashing onto the ground or lose a life, depending on the height reached where the enemy intercepted him. In the [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], it merely bumps into Mario, and height falls only stun him.

In the remake, Bats also more closely resemble [[Dorakyū]] from [[Game Boy]] ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''.
