'''Swoops''', originally called '''Swoopers''', are [[bat]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and since then, Swoops have become recurring enemies, appearing in several other games, including main-stream and spin-off ones. They typically hang idly on the ceiling, waiting for the player's character to come near, at which point they fall and fly towards the player, hurting the heroes on contact.

Swoops almost always have squinting eyes and round noses, and they have appeared with numerous color schemes throughout their appearances, the most common of which consists of a blue body, purple wings, and yellow feet. Their debut game depicts them as green with red wings and feet, a color scheme later used in {{file link|Mario Halloween Banner.jpg|promotional}} {{file link|Mario Halloween 2021 Artwork.jpg|Halloween}} {{file link|PN Halloween 2022 Mario Swoop Artwork.png|artwork}}, where Swoops are specifically designated '''Green Swoopers'''.<ref>{{cite|quote='''Mario vants some Halloween help!'''

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Swoopers hang from the ceilings of caves upside down, waiting for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to approach. When they come near, the Swoopers fly down and try to damage Mario or Luigi. They can easily be defeated with a [[stomp]]. They first appear in [[Donut Plains 2]], though they are mainly found in [[Vanilla Dome]].

This is one of two games in which Swoopers are green, the other being ''Mario Party 3''. An unused variant exists that is the later blue color; it acts like the [[Boo Crew]]. However, the blue Swoopers have a glitchy animation, with one frame showing half of a square outline and half of a blue [[Spike Top]].

Swoops (called as such for the first time) also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its Nintendo DS remake]]. Found only in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]], these Swoops are recolored from green with reddish-brown wings to entirely blue with a darker shade of blue on the top half of the wings. Like in ''Super Mario World'', they hang still on the ceiling, waiting for Mario (or [[Yoshi]], Luigi, or [[Wario]] in the remake) to come, then fall off the ceiling and attack. However, they now fly in horizontal loops above the ground. In the original, they had pointed mouse-like faces with large rhombus-shaped ears and a visible tooth, as well as no feet; the remake featured the modern design, based on the artwork for ''Super Mario World'' and the sprites for ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Swoops hang on the ceiling waiting to attack, like in previous games. One appears in [[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]], whereas the other twelve appear in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]]. They are blue and have purple wings.

Depending on which page the reader chooses to turn to, Mario either avoids the Swoops and hides until they grow bored and leave, or one of their shells connects and knocks him out for several hours, allowing [[Bowser]] to conquer [[Dinosaur Island]].

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Swoopers are found inside the [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]], where they are either constantly flying or hanging on the ceiling. When they are hanging from the ceiling, Mario cannot reach them using a regular jump attack, and must instead use the Quake Hammer, Skolar's attack, an item, or one of his partners (such as [[Parakarry]]) to knock them off from the ceiling. They attack by simply swooping down and physically ramming their opponent. A stronger version of Swoopers exists, called [[Swoopula]]s.

Later on, in Chapter 4, Swoopers can be found in outside areas of [[Creepy Steeple]]. They attack as they did in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Additionally, [[Swoopula]]s return, and the [[Swampire]]s also debut, which are even stronger than a Swoopula.

Despite how many enemies were redesigned in this game to look like their mainstream appearances, Swoops were kept purple for unknown reasons. In battle, they are always in mid-air and never hang from the ceiling. They are uncommon, with only four of them appearing on the overworld. They attack by swooping down at Mario. Swoops can also make an appearance in the final battle, where they are among the enemies that can be summoned by Bowser in the first phase. Swoops also assist [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s, and [[Spike]]s.

Swoops, appearing in place of the original course's [[Bat (Mario Kart 64)|bat]]s, fly in large flocks in the opposite direction of the racers. Though they are not a real hazard, Swoops can get in the way of any incoming [[kart]]s, slowing them down. Unlike the bats in the original, Swoops appear in the course's time trial mode.

Swoops are obstacles in various games of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. They fly in large flocks in the opposite direction of the racers, slowing anyone who drives into them. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Swoops were newly added to {{classic-link|N64|Banshee Boardwalk}}, replacing the [[Bat (Mario Kart 64)|bat]]s from the original ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' iteration, but unlike the bats in the original, Swoops appear in the course's time trial mode. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Swoops appear in two courses: [[Wii Wario's Gold Mine|Wario's Gold Mine]] and [[Dry Dry Ruins (race course)|Dry Dry Ruins]]. They behave identically as in ''Mario Kart DS'', but now use calls and agitated screeching from a [[Wikipedia:Cockatiel|cockatiel]] for their sound effects. Swoops can now be defeated from using certain items, such as [[Green Shell]]s or [[Red Shell]]s, or while under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]]. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Swoops appear only in [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]]. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Swoops are obstacles in several courses, including [[Mount Wario]] (during the cave and tunnel portions), {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Wario's Gold Mine}}, {{classic-link|N64|Choco Mountain}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Vancouver Velocity}}.
