Spinbats are bat-like enemies from Wario Land: Shake It! They appear in cave or haunted mansion levels and hang from the ceiling waiting for Wario. When Wario draws near, they drop to the ground in a spinning motion. If Wario is beneath one, he gets hurt; however, when they fall from the ceiling they can be stunned and thrown like other enemies.

Profiles and statistics[edit]

    • English (American):
      Huh. These guys are called Spinbats, but I don't get why. They just fall off the ceiling and...spin at you. Wait, I'm getting an idea![1]

    • A rare breed of enemy that lurks in caves and spooky basements, Spinbats get their name from their favorite method of attack: They cling to ceilings, waiting for Wario to wander past before quickly spiraling down at him. Avoid this fast attack, and the Spinbat becomes lodged in the ground, helpless for a short time! Be quick to dash into stuck Spinbats to put an end to their threat.[2]
