'''Bats''', which may also be called '''Fangs''' as they have a subspecies named [[Glad Fang]], are blue bats that have the same mannerisms as the [[Swooper]]s. Bats appear in the cave levels of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. When [[Yoshi]] (or the protagonist of whatever game they are encountered in) gets too close to one, the Bat will fly in his direction from its sleeping position. For some reason, when Bats fly, small, white dots appear behind them before disappearing. Yoshi can lick one up to make an [[Yoshi Egg|Egg]].

Bats make a brief appearance as an obstacle in the games ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', on the track [[Banshee Boardwalk]]. When the driver enters the old building towards the end of the course, Bats will attack, baring him or her from moving forward. They do not, however, make the driver spin out.

Bats were also seen in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', where they patrolled ground areas and appeared not only in caves, but also in additional areas such as jungles and fields. These Fangs could only be found sleeping on ceilings in cave stages, and were otherwise always in flight, soaring up and down at varying intervals. If shot down with an egg or [[Jump#Stomp|stomped]], these Bats were worth two points, and encasing them in a bubble could earn the [[player]] a [[Blue Coin]]. On a related note, Bats were also present in the ''[[Balloon Trip]]'' tech demo which eventually evolved into the final ''Yoshi Touch & Go''. In ''Balloon Trip'', Bats were found in the sky (an area they were ironically absent from in ''Yoshi Touch & Go'') and continually circled around; such a role was taken up by red [[Fly Guy]]s in the final ''Yoshi Touch & Go''.

A miniature, unnamed Bat sub-species appeared in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. These small Bats were always huddled in groups and could be removed from [[Peach]]'s way with the [[Rage]] [[Vibe]]. There were also [[Vibe Scepter|Vibe Infused]] Bats, known as Glad Fangs, that flew randomly on the screen.

-'''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 hang onto and throttle him, causing Mario to fall off the rope he is currently climbing. Mario can either survive crashing onto the ground or lose a life, depending on the height reached where the bat enemies intercepted him.
