Swoopers, also known as Swoops for short, are a species of bat-like enemies that appear in the Mario series. They are enemies that hang upside down on the ceiling, but as soon as Mario moves close to them, they fall down and start flying toward him. In some games, they also swoop down and back up, as their name would suggest; they do not target the player specifically, but simply fly back up again.
Appearances[]
New Super Mario Bros.: Revenge of the Bros.[]
Swoopers appear as common enemies in New Super Mario Bros.: Revenge of the Bros.. In this game, they are commonly found in cave levels attacking Mario and his allies by swooping down on them and then darting at them if they get too close. Swoopers are commonly found in World 3, World 6, Plus World 5, and Plus World 8. Several sub-species of Swoopers also exist called Red Swoopers and Spiky Swoopers. The former is more aggressive than a standard Swooper and the latter has a spike on it's head.
