In the game Swoopers would hang from the ceilings of caves upside down waiting for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to come. When they come near the Swoopers would fly down and try to hurt Mario or Luigi. They could easily be defeated by [[stomp]]ing on them. They were found in [[Vanilla Dome]].

Like in ''Super Mario World'', they hang still on the ceiling waiting for Mario to come, falling off the ceiling and flutter in a spot shortly to dash towards its victim.

Swoopers made their first appearance in the ''Paper Mario'' series in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are found inside the [[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 lose from the ceiling. They attack by simply swooping down and physically ramming their opponent. A stronger version of Swoopers exists, called [[Swoopula]]s.

Template:Articleabout Template:Species-infobox Swoops, also called Swoopers, are vampire bats 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. A similar species known as Buckies also appears in Donkey Kong Jungle Beat.

Super Mario 64.

Swoops (called Swoops for the first time) also appear in Super Mario 64 and its DS remake. Found only in Hazy Maze Cave, these Swoops are recolored from green with brown wings to blue with purple wings, which would go on to be their color scheme in future appearances. Like in Super Mario World, they hang still on the ceiling waiting for Mario to come, falling off the ceiling and flutter in a spot shortly to dash towards its victim.
