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''.

Line 42:
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]].
 
===''HotelSuper Mario-kun''===
[[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'']]
In this game, Swoopers are called '''Pat-the-Bats'''. They swoop down from ceilings and attack Mario and Luigi, impeding their progress. They can also open doors upon contact.
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.
