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 jump, 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]]. | Initially, Bats are found either hanging from the ceiling or flying around aimlessly.

The official Japanese name for Bat, Batton, is shared with [[Enigma]], another pig-nosed bat; however, due to the rights for Enigma being held by [[Square Enix]], coupled with Enigma's distinct hive-minded behavior being different from Bats, it is unlikely that this was intentional. | ||
