'''Swoops''', originally called '''Swoopers''', are recurring [[bat]] enemies that first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They typically hang idly on the ceiling, waiting for the player's character to come near, at which point they fall and fly towards the character, hurting them on contact.
'''Swoops''', originally called '''Swoopers''', are [[bat]]s that first appeared in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] title, ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Since then, Swoops have become recurring enemies, appearing in several other games, including mainline and spin-off ones. They typically hang idly on the ceiling, waiting for the player's character to come near, at which point they fall and fly towards the player, hurting the heroes on contact. They have appeared in numerous colors across different games, but almost always have squinting eyes and round noses.
 
Swoops almost always have squinting eyes and round noses, and they have appeared with numerous color schemes throughout their appearances, the most common of which consists of a blue body, purple wings, and yellow feet. Their debut game depicts them as green with red wings and feet, a color scheme later used in {{file link|Mario Halloween Banner.jpg|promotional}} {{file link|Mario Halloween 2021 Artwork.jpg|Halloween}} {{file link|PN Halloween 2022 Mario Swoop Artwork.png|artwork}}, where Swoops are specifically designated '''Green Swoopers'''.<ref>{{cite|quote='''Mario vants some Halloween help!'''

Swoops (called as such for the first time) also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and [[Super Mario 64 DS|its Nintendo 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]]''.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Swoopers are found inside the [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]], where they are either constantly flying or hanging on the ceiling. When they are hanging from the ceiling, Mario cannot reach them using a regular jump attack, and must instead use the Quake Hammer, Skolar's attack, an item, or one of his partners (such as [[Parakarry]]) to knock them off from the ceiling. They attack by simply swooping down and physically ramming their opponent. A stronger version of Swoopers exists, called [[Swoopula]]s.

Swoopers are uncommon enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|its Nintendo Switch remake]]. Four Swoopers led by [[Sir Swoop]] make up the [[Glitz Pit]] team [[Wings of Night]] who appear during Chapter 3 to serve as a brief replacement for [[The KP Koopas]] after [[King K.]] "retires".

Later on, in Chapter 4, Swoopers can be found in outside areas of [[Creepy Steeple]]. They attack as they did in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. Additionally, [[Swoopula]]s return, and the [[Swampire]]s also debut, which are even stronger than a Swoopula.

In [[Indigo Underground]], a member of the green [[Rescue Squad]] is being attacked by Swoops, and Mario saves him. Swoops are also in the caves of [[Vortex Island]]. They can also assist the [[Big Spiny]] in [[Kiwano Temple]] in battle.

Swoops appear first in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', in the track [[N64 Banshee Boardwalk|Banshee Boardwalk]], a retro course that first appeared in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. Swoops, appearing in place of the original course's [[Bat (Mario Kart 64)|bat]]s, fly in large flocks in the opposite direction of the racers. Though they are not a real hazard, Swoops can get in the way of any incoming [[kart]]s, slowing them down. Unlike the bats in the original, Swoops appear in the course's time trial mode.

Additionally, players can wipe out these bats by using certain items such as [[Shell]]s, or under the power of a [[Super Star|Star]].


Also, [[King Olly]] has a model of him disguised as a Swoop, which goes unused in the final game.<ref>{{cite|author=suppermariobroth|date=January 3, 2022|url=www.suppermariobroth.com/post/672385228830048256|title=In the files of Paper Mario: The Origami King, an unused model of King Olly as a Swoop can be found (regular King Olly in the bottom right for comparison).

Swoops are 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.
