A bat[1][2][3][4] is a Swoop-like enemy from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Bats have pig-like noses and bulging, glowing eyes with faint rings on them, causing them to resemble Keese from the series The Legend of Zelda, particularly their incarnation from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess; the two games were in development at overlapping times, so this may be intentional.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Initially, bats are found either hanging from the ceiling or flying around aimlessly. When Mario or Luigi approaches, they fly in close to him, before attempting to fly straight into him. If they succeed, they will laugh at him. They can be defeated with a spin or stomp, and they release either three Star Bits or one coin, respectively, depending on which way they are defeated. They can be found in many dark places, with the first being the cave in the Beach Bowl Galaxy. They are also found flying around the arm of Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser. Icy locations such as the cold portion of the Freezeflame Galaxy sometimes contain an icy variant called an ice bat, which will freeze Mario or Luigi if he makes contact with it, and can be defeated only with a Fire Flower.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]
In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, bats appear as one of the enemies inhabiting the Dark Lands. They also appear during the Koopa Troop's celebration of obtaining the Super Star and in one of the film's posters, which depicts the scene where Luigi is captured by Shy Guys.[5] Unlike in the games, bats have visible mouths with fangs, and their eyes are spinning swirls rather than concentric rings.
