A '''bat'''<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 134 and 135.</ref><ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 237.</ref> is a [[Swoop]]-like enemy from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble brown bats with pig-like noses and bulging, glowing eyes with faint rings on them, causing them to resemble [[zeldawiki:Keese|Keese]] from the ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Legend of Zelda]]'' series, particularly a cartoonish version of their ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' incarnation; the two games were in development at overlapping times, so this may be intentional. | |||
Initially, bats are found either hanging from the ceiling or flying around aimlessly. When [[Mario]] approaches, they fly in close to him, before attempting to fly straight into him. If they succeed, they will laugh at him. They can be defeated with a [[spin]] or [[stomp]], and will release either three [[Star Bit]]s or one [[coin]], respectively, depending of which way they're defeated. They can be found in many dark places, with the first being the cave in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]]. They are also found flying around the arm of [[Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser]]. Icy locations such as the cold portion of the [[Freezeflame Galaxy]] sometimes contain an icy variant called an [[ice bat]], which will freeze Mario if he makes contact with it, and can only be defeated with a [[Fire Flower]]. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*The internal filename for this enemy in both games is a romanization of the Japanese name for Swoop.<ref name=internal/> This indicates that early in development for the first game, the enemy was intended to be a traditional Swoop, and it kept the internal name when the files were reused in the sequel. The official Japanese name for bat is shared with [[Enigma]], another pig-nosed bat, from ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''; however, due to the rights for Enigma being held by [[Square Enix]]{{ref needed}} as well as Enigma's distinct hive-minded behavior, it is unlikely that this was intentional. | |||
