Their name comes from "tweet," an onomatopoeia for the sound that a bird makes. Tweeters are similar in stature and appearance to a [[Shy Guy]], with their masks having a beak instead of a mouth hole. Despite the presence of wings, they rapidly hop rather than fly around in their debut appearance, reminiscent of a green [[Koopa Paratroopa]]. In their original artwork, they have red bodies, white masks and blue wings; in their ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' sprites and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' artwork, they have white bodies and red masks and wings. In their ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''Super Mario Advance'' sprites, their bodies are tinted purple, while their feet are yellow. ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' uses a design similar to the original artwork, but with the bat-like blue wings replaced with bird-like red wings. | ||

Tweeters are common enemies in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Rather than walk normally, their movement consists of three short hops followed by a fourth hop its height, traveling straight ahead until hitting a wall. Like several other standard enemies, Tweeters can be simply picked up and thrown. In the | Tweeters are common enemies in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.
