Bats have pig-like noses and bulging, glowing eyes with faint rings on them, causing them to resemble [[zeldawiki:Keese|Keese]] from the series ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', particularly their incarnation from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''; the two games were in development at overlapping times, so this may be intentional. | ||

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 Bit]]s 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]]. | Initially, bats are found either hanging from the ceiling or flying around aimlessly.
