Swoop: Difference between revisions

Swoops{{refneeded}} appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. These bats are brown in this game, have a similarity to Keese from the ''Zelda'' series, and cling to the ceiling or appear flying. If Mario approaches, they will lock-on and swoop at him. In fact this is the same attack as Keese use except that those appear in large groups, switch to red eyes when attacking, and can sometimes dodge [[Link]]'s attacks when he tries to hit them with his sword in ''Skyward Sword''. Swoops could be defeated by a jump or a spin, and give a Coin or three Star Bits depending how they are defeated. If a Swoops hits Mario, it will laugh at him and taunt him. There is also a cyan ice variation called [[Ice Swooper]] {{refneeded}} that will freeze Mario for a few seconds when contacted, which is also akin to Ice Keese in the Zelda series. Attacking them with the [[Jump]] combat move will make Mario frostbitten, causing him damage. The only way to defeat them is to use [[fireball]]s as [[Fire Mario]] (or Fire Luigi) since [[Spin]]ning an Ice Swoop will not kill it. It also taunts and laughs at Mario due to its ice protection. Ice Swoops only appear in the [[Freezeflame Galaxy]].
