Page 237.</ref> is a [[Swoop]]-like enemy from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They resemble brown bats with pig-like noses and bulging, glowing eyes with faint rings on them, causing them to resemble [[zeldawiki:Keese|Keese]] from the ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Legend of Zelda]]'' series, particularly a cartoonish version of their ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' incarnation; 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]] 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 will release either three [[Star Bit]]s or one [[coin]], respectively, depending of which way they're 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 if he makes contact with it, and can only be defeated with a [[Fire Flower]].
