'''Bats'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Premiere Edition guide. Page 25.</ref> are [[Swoop]]-like enemies 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 jump, 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; 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.

-On ''[[The Nintendo Spooky Baddies gallery]]'' published on [[Play Nintendo]] circa 2014, the bats are referred to as "'''Swoopers'''." Because these enemies were erroneously interpreted as Swoops (which were known as "Swoopers" at the time) on the Super Mario Wiki [[Talk:Swoop#Split Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 info into "Bat (Super Mario Galaxy)"|until 2017]], this is potentially {{wp|circular reporting}}.

-==History==
-===''Super Mario'' series===
-====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
-The bats first appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Initially, bats are found either hanging from the ceiling or flying around aimlessly. When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] 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 they release either three [[Star Bit]]s or one [[coin]] for these methods, respectively. They are found primarily in dark locations. A frosty version called the [[ice bat]] also exists.

-In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', bats appear as one of the creatures inhabiting the [[Dark Land]]s. They also appear during the [[Bowser's Minions|Koopa Troop]]'s celebration of obtaining the [[Super Star]] and in one of the film's posters, which depicts the scene where Luigi is captured by [[Shy Guy]]s.<ref>{{file link|The Super Mario Bros. Movie official poster 3.jpg|Poster for ''The Super Mario Bros.
