Sir Swoop, one of the members of the Wings of Night

“Teach me, O Master!”

—Sir Swoop, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Wings of Night, also known as The Sleepy Stealth Scythe, is a fighting team in the Glitz Pit that replaces King K's team in Chapter 3 after he "retires". It consists of four Swoopers, one of them being Sir Swoop. They can be fought if Mario loses enough matches to reach their rank. In the Nintendo Switch remake, they can only be fought via an Exhibition Match as it is no longer possible to derank. After Chapter 3, they are replaced by The KP Koopas and cannot be seen or fought again.
