'''Swoops''', originally called '''Swoopers''', are [[bat]]s that first appeared in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] title, ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Since then, Swoops have become recurring enemies, appearing in several other games, including mainline and spin-off ones. They typically hang idly on the ceiling, waiting for the player's character to come near, at which point they fall and fly towards the player, hurting the heroes on contact. They have appeared in numerous colors across different games, but almost always have squinting eyes and round noses.

Swoops almost always have squinting eyes and round noses, and they have appeared with numerous color schemes across ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' media, the most common of which consists of a blue body, purple wings, and yellow feet. Their debut game depicts them as green with red wings and feet, a color scheme later used in Swoops featured in [[:File:Mario Halloween Banner.jpg|promotional]] [[:File:Mario Halloween 2021 Artwork.jpg|Halloween]] [[:File:PN Halloween 2022 Mario Swoop Artwork.png|artwork]], where they are specifically designated as '''Green Swoopers'''.<ref>[https://play.nintendo.com/activities/paint-by-numbers/mario-halloween-coloring-printable/ Mario vants some Halloween help!] ''[[Play Nintendo]]''.

Although they are absent from the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|original game]], Swoops appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode as enemies and allies, thus marking the first appearance of regular Swoops in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. They are flying troopers, and attack by charging into enemies. They are strong against [[Shroob]]s and [[Fawfulcopter]]s. Their special skill is Discord which can lower enemy DEF.
