'''Bats''' are enemies from the game ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' on the [[Game Boy]]. Bats make their first appearance in stage 4-5 in the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong)|Jungle]]. They fly horizontally across the screen. When they hit Mario, they hang onto him and appear to suck a little bit of blood out of him. Mario's face turns white (in the colored [[Super Game Boy]] version) and he falls off the rope he is currently climbing. After falling to the ground, Mario gets up again. Mario can also get defeated by the bats if he falls too far after dropping from the rope.


Bats also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', where they'll attack any [[Kong]]s who get close to them.
In the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]], Bats more closely resemble [[Dorakyū]] from [[Game Boy]] ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''.

Bats are enemies that appear in Mario vs. Donkey Kong. They fly in a straight horizontal line across the screen from a small nest, making a minor descent and changing direction whenever they pass one of the level's margins, usually traveling past ropes.

Whenever Bats fly into Mario, they hang onto and throttle him, causing Mario to fall off the rope he is currently climbing. Mario can either survive crashing onto the ground or lose a life, depending on the height reached where the bat enemies intercepted him.

In the remake, Bats more closely resemble Dorakyū from Game Boy Donkey Kong.
