'''Skeeters'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott, | '''Skeeters'''<ref>{{cite|author=Pelland, Scott; Owsen, Dan|title=Super Mario 64 Player's Guide|date=1996|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=11}}</ref> are giant {{wp|Gerridae|water strider}} enemies that are introduced in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. They appear in a few of the 3D ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' games. Like real water striders, they usually skim on the surface of water. Their name comes from "water skeeter," one of many alternate names for water striders. | ||
Skeeters have had distinct designs throughout all four of their ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series appearances, though their abilities have remained largely the same. In addition to skating on water, they can also walk on land, though they move a bit slower. | Skeeters have had distinct designs throughout all four of their ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series appearances, though their abilities have remained largely the same.
