Swoops (called as such for the first time) also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its DS remake]]. Found only in the [[Hazy Maze Cave]], these Swoops are recolored from green with reddish-brown wings to entirely blue with a darker shade of blue on the top half of the wings. Like in ''Super Mario World'', they hang still on the ceiling, waiting for Mario (or [[Yoshi]], Luigi, or [[Wario]] in the remake) to come, then fall off the ceiling and attack. However, they now fly in horizontal loops above the ground. In the original, they had pointed mouse-like faces with large rhombus-shaped ears and a visible tooth, as well as no feet; the remake featured the modern design, based on the artwork for ''Super Mario World'' and the sprites for ''[[Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. | Swoops (called as such for the first time) also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its DS remake]].

Swoops | Swoops have appeared as obstacles in various games of the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]]. They fly in large flocks in the opposite direction of the racers, slowing anyone who drives into them. In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', Swoops were newly added to {{classic-link|N64|Banshee Boardwalk}}, replacing the [[Bat (Mario Kart 64)|bat]]s from the original ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' iteration, but unlike the bats in the original, Swoops appear in the course's time trial mode. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Swoops appear in two courses: [[Wii Wario's Gold Mine|Wario's Gold Mine]] and [[Dry Dry Ruins (race course)|Dry Dry Ruins]]. They behave identically as in ''Mario Kart DS'', but now use calls and agitated screeching from a [[Wikipedia:Cockatiel|cockatiel]] for their sound effects. Swoops can now be defeated from using certain items, such as [[Green Shell]]s or [[Red Shell]]s, or while under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]]. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Swoops appear only in [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]]. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Swoops are obstacles in several courses, including [[Mount Wario]] (during the cave and tunnel portions), {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Wario's Gold Mine}}, {{classic-link|N64|Choco Mountain}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Vancouver Velocity}}. Swoops also appear in the {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi's Mansion}} battle course on the spiral staircase leading outside. Additionally, [[Hyrule Circuit]] features [[Keese]], which function identically to Swoops. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Swoops are obstacles in [[N64 Choco Mountain]], N64 Yoshi Valley, [[GBA Sunset Wilds]] at nighttime, [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain]], [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur R/T]], and [[Tour Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity]]. | ||

In their first few appearances in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Swoopers only make a few background appearances. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', their debut in the series, Swoopers are seen hanging in the upper-right of the background of [[Creepy Cavern]], appearing in a variety of colors including green, blue, purple and plum. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Swoopers only appears on the wrapper of the [[Vampire Candy]]. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Swoopers make a few minor appearances: flying around [[Boo's Horror Castle]]; observing characters as they slide down chains in the [[minigame]] [[Chain Event]]; as a [[list of constellations in Mario Party 9|constellation]] in the Museum. | |||
In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', a Swoop gives out two [[Mini Star]]s on the first and third stages of the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board, and one also appears in [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]]. In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Swoops appear in [[Haunted Trail]], where if someone lands on an [[Unlucky Space]], Swoops arrive to steal five [[Mini Star]]s from them. They also appear in multiple minigames, such as [[Pipe Sniper]], where Swoops grant five points if hit. In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', Swoops appear during the High Attacks in [[Samurai Smackdown]], alongside [[Goombrat]]s and Bullet Bills. In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Swoops are the only obstacle of [[Fireplace Race]], where they must be avoided while players are lighting candles, and if a Swoop catches a character, it sends them back to the fireplace. One also makes an appearance in [[Absent Minded]]. In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', Swoops appear in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''{{'}}s [[Horror Land]], where they come out of a well during the night when players pass it. | |||
