A Bat is an enemy from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They resemble reddish brown (or sometimes brown) bats with pig-like noses and bulging, glowing eyes with faint rings on them.
Initially, bats are found either hanging from the ceiling or flying around aimlessly. When Mario approaches, they fly in close to him, before attempting to swoop him. If they succeed, they will laugh at him. They can be defeated with a spin or stomp, and will release either three Star Bits or one Coin, respectively, depending of which way they are defeated. They can be found in many dark places, with the first being the cave in the Beach Bowl Galaxy. They are also found flying around the arm of Heavy Metal Mecha-Bowser. They can also be found in the Slimy Spring Galaxy. In Super Mario Galaxy, Bats are reddish brown and in Super Mario Galaxy 2, they are completely brown.
