'''Swoopers'''
In ''Super Mario World'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', and various other games, they would hang on the ceiling and when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] came near, they fall and fly, hurting the heroes on contact.
==History==
===[[Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]]===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:Swoopers.PNG|100px|thumb|left|'''Swoopers''', as seen in ''Super Mario World''.]]
In the game Swoopers would hang from the ceilings of caves upside down waiting for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to come. When they come near the Swoopers would fly down and try to hurt Mario or Luigi. They could easily be defeated by [[stomp]]ing on them. They were found in [[Vanilla Dome]].
====''Super Mario 64''/''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:Swooper 64.png|thumb|120px|left|A '''Swooper''', as seen in ''Super Mario 64''.]]
Swoopers also appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Super Mario 64 DS|DS remake]]. Found only in [[Hazy Maze Cave]], these Swoopers are recolored from green with brown wings to blue with purple wings, which would go on to be their color scheme in future appearances. Like in ''Super Mario World'', they hang still on the ceiling waiting for Mario to come, falling off the ceiling and flutter in a spot shortly to dash towards its victim.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:SwooperNSMB.png|thumb]]
[[Image:Swopping Swooper.jpg|thumb|left|A Swooper in the dark]]
Like in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', they would be on the ceiling waiting to attack. A rare one appears in World 2-3 whereas the other 12 appear in World 5-2. They are blue and have purple wings. Their design was extremely similar to their design in ''Super Mario 64 DS''.

===''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 Swoopers and hides until they grow bored and leave, or one of their shells will connect and knock the [[plumber]] out for several hours, allowing [[Bowser]] to easily conquer [[Dinosaur Island]].

[[File:Monty Mole and Swoopers in Super Mario-kun.png|250px|thumb|A [[Monty Mole]] calling in a bunch of Swoopers in volume 5 of ''Super Mario-kun'']]
Swoopers have appeared in a couple volumes of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', acting and looking like they do in the games.
In volume 5, one of the [[Monty Mole]]s that Mario and his friends are fighting calls in a group of Swoopers after [[Luigi]] nearly defeated them. The Monty Moles then fuse with the Swoopers to create a [[Monty Mole Swooper|fusion of the two species]] to help become stronger in the battle.

Swoopers re-appear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. In this game, they are referred to as '''Swoops''' in the European version. They appear in the first section of [[Drybake Desert]], inside the [[Yoshi Sphinx]], and during [[Sandshifter Ruins]]. They look just like their previous incarnations in the past Paper Mario games. In battle, they will always be in mid-air and never hang from the ceiling. They attack by swooping down at Mario.
