When turned into a bat, he shrinks in size and gains pointy fangs, red eyes, bat wings in place of his arms, and an indigo-to-purple skin tone. Bat Wario is among the smallest of Wario's reactions in either game and cannot walk normally, instead awkwardly hopping along the ground. However, he can fly unrestricted rather than make standard jumps, though flight is also slow and functions as | ||
repeated short midair jumps. He can also defeat any non-invincible enemy on contact. | |||

In ''Wario Land 3'', Bat-Wario acts as an extension of [[Vampire Wario]], obtained by touching [[Kobatto]]. He can switch between the two forms with {{button|gbc|B}}. As with Vampire Wario, he is weak to light beams, [[garlic]], and water droplets, which all revert him to normal Wario; he also will change back if he lands in a pool of water, which the vampire form prevents. | |||
====''Wario Land 4''==== | |||
[[File:WL4 Wario11.png|frame|left]] | |||
In ''Wario Land 4'', Bat Wario appears without the vampire form, but still functions the same otherwise. It appears in four levels: [[Crescent Moon Village]], [[Arabian Night]], [[Hotel Horror]] and [[Golden Passage]]. The Bat Wario transformation can be triggered by coming in contact with a [[Minicula]]. To turn into his normal self, he must go into a patch of light or fall into a pool of water (similar to [[Zombie Wario]]). Bat Wario's sprite has red overalls instead of purple, but in the artwork and the Japanese commercial, they are purple as usual. | |||
===''Dr. Mario 64''=== | |||
Bat-Wario makes a small cameo in ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' as part of Vampire Wario's losing animation. Here, he simply appears as a smaller Vampire Wario with wings on his back. | |||
===''WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!''=== | |||
[[File:WWMPG TitleScreen Bat Wario.png|thumb]] | |||
In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$!]]'', Bat Wario cameos in a beginning video, where he chases a pigeon across the screen, and gets chased by a few pigeons back across the screen. | |||
