{{quote|Nyah, nyah, [[Mario|you]] can't fly!|Swoop|Paper Mario: Color Splash}}
'''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 almost always have squinting eyes and round noses, and they have appeared with numerous color schemes across ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' media, 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 {{media link|Mario Halloween Banner.jpg|promotional}} {{media link|Mario Halloween 2021 Artwork.jpg|Halloween}} {{media link|PN Halloween 2022 Mario Swoop Artwork.png|artwork}}, where Swoops are specifically designated '''Green Swoopers'''.<ref>{{cite|quote='''Mario vants some Halloween help!'''

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====

}}
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Swoopers hang from the ceilings of caves upside down, waiting for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to approach. When they come near, the Swoopers fly down and try to damage Mario or Luigi. They can easily be defeated with a [[stomp]]. They first appear in [[Donut Plains 2]], though they are mainly found in [[Vanilla Dome]].

This is one of two games in which Swoopers are green, the other being ''Mario Party 3''. An unused variant exists that is the later blue color; it acts like the [[Boo Crew]]. However, the blue Swoopers have a glitchy animation, with one frame showing half of a square outline and half of a blue [[Spike Top]].

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:SM64DS Swooper.png|thumb|left|150px|Appearance in ''Super Mario 64 DS'']]
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]]''.
{{br|left}}
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:SwooperNSMB.png|frame]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Swoops hang on the ceiling waiting to attack, like in previous games. One appears in [[World 2-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 2-3]], whereas the other twelve appear in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-2]]. They are blue and have purple wings. Like many other elements between the two games, they use their ''Super Mario 64 DS'' appearance.
{{br|left}}

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Swooper Screenshot.png|thumb|200px|Swoops attacking [[Fire Mario]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
[[File:NSMBW Swooper Sprite.png|frame|left]]
Swoops appear in caves in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They look just like their ''New Super Mario Bros.'' counterparts and behave exactly the same. They appear in [[World 5-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-2]], [[World 6-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-2]] and [[World 6-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-6]]. In dark levels with lights, their eyes can be seen glowing when the Swoops are not in the light.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Swoops appear in {{world-link|5|ghosthousen2|World 5-Ghost House (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}} and in the [[Third Course (Coin Challenge Pack B)|third level]] of the [[Coin Challenge Pack B]], behaving exactly as they did in previous games.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Swoops reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', behaving exactly as they did in the previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. Their eyes also glow in the dark. They only appear in four levels: [[Perilous Pokey Cave]], [[Light Blocks, Dark Tower]], [[Thrilling Spine Coaster]], and [[Shifting-Floor Cave]].

====''Super Mario Run''====
[[File:Swoop SMR.png|thumb|85px|Artwork of a Swoop from ''Super Mario Run'']]
Swoops return in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', behaving exactly the same as in the previous titles. Their first appearance is in [[Treasure-Hoarding Swoops]].

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
A trio of Swoopers appear in ''[[Dinosaur Dilemma]]'', living in the upper floor of an abandoned mansion. Upon spotting Mario, they attack him by dropping [[Koopa Shell]]s. Depending on which page the reader chooses to turn to, Mario either avoids the Swoops and hides until they grow bored and leave, or one of their shells connects and knocks him out for several hours, allowing [[Bowser]] to conquer [[Dinosaur Island]].

===''Super Mario-kun''===
{{Construction|section=y}}
Swoopers appear in several volumes of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. In volume 5, they fuse with [[Monty Mole]]s to become [[Monty Mole Swooper]]s.

===[[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]===
====''Paper Mario''====
[[File:SwooperPM.png|frame|left]]
Swoopers made their first appearance in the ''Paper Mario'' series in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They 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.

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:TTYD Swooper.png|thumb|A Swoop in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'']]
Swoopers also appeared uncommonly in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. 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.

====''Super Paper Mario''====
Swoopers also re-appeared in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are only found in Chapter 2 ([[Gloam Valley]] and [[Merlee's Mansion]]). Swoopers can be found in Gloam Valley in a secret area via using the [[Flip]] and falling into a 3D-accessible hole near the [[Star Block (Super Paper Mario)|Star Block]]. Their [[Catch Card]] can be found here, along with the [[Shlurp]]s' Catch Card. Swoopers are also found in the line-of-coins trap in Merlee's Mansion as well as a room in Merlee's basement. They always appear in groups of two, making up a total of six that appear in the game.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Swoops reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. They appear in the first section of [[Drybake Desert]], inside the [[Yoshi Sphinx]], and during [[Sandshifter Ruins]]. Despite how many enemies were redesigned in this game to look like their mainstream appearances, Swoops were kept purple for unknown reasons. In battle, they are always in mid-air and never hang from the ceiling. They are uncommon, with only four of them appearing on the overworld. They attack by swooping down at Mario. Swoops can also make an appearance in the final battle, where they are among the enemies that can be summoned by Bowser in the first phase. Swoops also assist [[Paragoomba]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s, and [[Spike]]s.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
Swoops return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', keeping their appearance and attack from the previous game, though their sprites lack the color gradients and the shading, the latter now being rather applied to the 3D models. 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.

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
Swoops return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami Swoops appear as enemies. The origami Swoops use their blue coloration, rather than the purple coloration from other ''Paper Mario'' games (though their concept art in the game shows they were originally going to have their purple coloration). They can be found in [[Graffiti Underground]] with [[Scaredy Rat]]s, in the [[Water Vellumental Shrine]] at the bottom of the first room, and the [[Earth Vellumental Temple]], surrounding the [[Earth Vellumental Temple curator|temple's curator]].

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). While he does change into various forms during the game, he never assumes a Swoop form; it is possible this form was made to create a vampire theme for him, with bats being commonly associated with vampires.|publisher=Tumblr|accessdate=February 6, 2024|archive=web.archive.org/web/20220429225138/https://www.suppermariobroth.com/post/672385228830048256/in-the-files-of-paper-mario-the-origami-king-an}}</ref>

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:SwooperMKW.png|thumb|left|150px|Swoops in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
[[File:Swoop SFX - Mario Kart Wii.oga|thumb|Swoop sound effect in ''Mario Kart Wii'']]
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. In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', Swoops appear in two courses: [[Wii Wario's Gold Mine|Wario's Gold Mine]] and [[Dry Dry Ruins (race course)|Dry Dry Ruins]]. They behave identically as in ''Mario Kart DS'', but now use calls and agitated screeching from a [[Wikipedia:Cockatiel|cockatiel]] for their sound effects. Swoops can now be defeated from using certain items, such as [[Green Shell]]s or [[Red Shell]]s, or while under the effects of a [[Super Star|Star]]. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', Swoops appear only in [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|Rock Rock Mountain]]. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Swoops are obstacles in several courses, including [[Mount Wario]] (during the cave and tunnel portions), {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}}, {{classic-link|Wii|Wario's Gold Mine}}, {{classic-link|N64|Choco Mountain}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}, {{classic-link|Tour|Athens Dash}}, and {{classic-link|Tour|Vancouver Velocity}}. Swoops also appear in the {{classic-link|GCN|Luigi's Mansion}} battle course on the spiral staircase leading outside. Additionally, [[Hyrule Circuit]] features [[Keese]], which function identically to Swoops. In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Swoops are obstacles in [[N64 Choco Mountain]], N64 Yoshi Valley, [[GBA Sunset Wilds]] at nighttime, [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain]], [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur R/T]], and [[Tour Vancouver Velocity|Vancouver Velocity]].

In ''Mario Kart 7'' and ''Mario Kart Tour'', there is a [[glider]] designed to resemble a Swoop, although it is named [[Swooper (glider)|Swooper]], like their old name.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''===
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', Swoops only appear in the boss fight against [[Donkey Kong]] in [[Boss Game 7]]. Two of them hang inactively from the girder dividing the screens, and periodically fly left and right in a flight pattern similar to [[Dorakyū]] from the [[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'']]. When a [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]] is underneath them while flying, they will wrap themselves in their wings and drill downwards to try to attack it. The Swoops' artwork can be seen during the credits.

===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:Super Mario Party - Swoop.png|thumb|150px|A Swoop in ''Super Mario Party'']]
In their first few appearances in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], Swoopers only make a few background appearances. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', their debut in the series, Swoopers are seen hanging in the upper-right of the background of [[Creepy Cavern]], appearing in a variety of colors including green, blue, purple and plum. In ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', Swoopers only appears on the wrapper of the [[Vampire Candy]]. In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Swoopers make a few minor appearances: flying around [[Boo's Horror Castle]]; observing characters as they slide down chains in the [[minigame]] [[Chain Event]]; as a [[list of constellations in Mario Party 9|constellation]] in the Museum.

In ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', a Swoop gives out two [[Mini Star]]s on the first and third stages of the [[Star-Crossed Skyway]] board, and one also appears in [[Match Faker]] and [[Tap Dash]]. In ''[[Mario Party 10]]'', Swoops appear in [[Haunted Trail]], where if someone lands on an [[Unlucky Space]], Swoops arrive to steal five [[Mini Star]]s from them. They also appear in multiple minigames, such as [[Pipe Sniper]], where Swoops grant five points if hit. In ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', Swoops appear during the High Attacks in [[Samurai Smackdown]], alongside [[Goombrat]]s and Bullet Bills. In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', Swoops are the only obstacle of [[Fireplace Race]], where they must be avoided while players are lighting candles, and if a Swoop catches a character, it sends them back to the fireplace. One also makes an appearance in [[Absent Minded]]. In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', Swoops appear in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''{{'}}s [[Horror Land]], where they come out of a well during the night when players pass it.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
While regular Swoops are not present in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', [[Paper Swoop]]s appear as enemies in the [[Twinsy Tropics Dungeon]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
[[File:MLBISBJJSwoop.png|frame]]
Although they are absent from the [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story|original game]], Swoops appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]'' in the ''Bowser Jr.'s Journey'' mode as enemies and allies, thus marking the first appearance of regular Swoops in the ''Mario & Luigi'' series. They are flying troopers, and attack by charging into enemies. They are strong against [[Shroob]]s and [[Fawfulcopter]]s. Their special skill is Discord which can lower enemy DEF.
{{br}}
===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', Bats are replaced by Swoops.

===''Dr. Mario World''===
Swoops debut in the [[Dr. Mario (series)|''Dr. Mario'' series]] as assistants in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. Their stage mode skill is increasing the player's score by a percentage of the base score for up to 10% at the maximum level (rounded down), which is only increased after the stages are cleared. In versus mode, they have a chance of eliminating all [[capsule]]s if an object reaches the third from bottom line.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
{{new subject|section=y|film}}
Swoops appear in [[Illumination]]'s ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where they are minions in Bowser's army.
