+'''Dorakyū''' are aerodynamic, vampire bat-resembling enemies in the [[Game Boy]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''. They are first encountered in [[Stage 4-5]]. Dorakyū fly horizontally, slightly moving up and down and turning in the opposite direction after bumping into a wall, usually passing by [[rope]]s [[Mario]] can climb. When one of these enemies intercepts Mario, it hangs onto and appears to drain him. Mario is shown to progressively turn pale, suggesting blood loss. After Mario undergoes the enemy's attack, he drops off the rope he is currently climbing. Depending on the height reached from the ground beneath, Mario might either survive the fall or lose a life upon crashing onto the soil. Even though it is risky for Mario to directly interact with Dorakyū bats, these can be knocked out with either falling [[fruit]] or carriable objects and enemies.
-'''Dorachū''' ('''ドラチュー'''<ref>Kazuki, Motoyama. Volume 30 of the [[KC Deluxe]] manga, [[Media:Donkey Kong GB characters KC.jpg|page 51]]</ref>) are aerodynamic, vampire bat-resembling enemies from the [[Game Boy]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]''. They make their debut in [[stage 4-5]] of the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong)|Jungle]].
-Dorachū fly horizontally and across the screen, turning in the opposite direction after bumping into a wall and usually passing by [[rope]]s [[Mario]] can climb. When one of these enemies intercepts Mario, it hangs onto and appears to strangle him. Mario is shown to progressively turn pale whilst he chokes. After Mario undergoes the enemy's attack, he drops off the rope he is currently climbing. Depending on the height reached from the ground beneath, Mario might either survive the fall or lose a life upon crashing onto the soil. Even though it is risky for Mario to directly interact with Dorachū bats, these can be knocked out with either falling [[fruit]] or carriable objects and enemies.
+In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', [[Bat (Mario vs. Donkey Kong)|Bat]]s take the role of Dorakyū, borrowing a similar attack pattern. [[Swoop]]s also display similar flight movement in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]''.

-The name "Dorachū" is a combination of 「ドラキュラ」, ''Dorakyura'' (meaning [[wikipedia:Dracula|Dracula]]), and "chu", a mousey squeaking noise. In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', [[Kōmori]] take the role of Dorachū, borrowing the same vampire bat-styled attack pattern.
