Fangs,[1] also referred to as Bats,[2] are blue bat enemies that first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island . They most commonly appear in cave levels and have similar mannerisms to Swoops, albeit with a swirlier flight pattern. When the player gets too close to a Fang, it will fly towards them from its sleeping position. When Fangs fly, they leave a short dashed line behind them. Yoshi can eat Fangs to create Eggs. Despite their English name being based on a term for sharp canine teeth, seen in such animals as real-world bats and dogs and also depicted as a common physical feature of vampires, they are not shown to have teeth or even mouths at all.
History[edit ]
Yoshi series[edit ]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit ]
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its Game Boy Advance remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 , Fangs try to damage a Yoshi by swooping down at him when he gets too close, and are found in the various cave levels. The Fangs tend to loop around as they fly, although this is inconsistent. The official art depicts them as purple, but in the game itself, they are sky blue. In the Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 Player's Guide's Enemy Encyclopedia section, Fangs are referred to as Bats, and are listed under the "Harrassimentia Phlyoverus" subheader.[2]
Yoshi's Island DS[edit ]
In Yoshi's Island DS , Fangs return, and are in the airborne-enemy exhibit in the Island Museum. Despite this, Fangs are seen more in cave areas than in open areas. In this game, they first appear in World 3-5 (Heeeeeeere's Wario!), and appear in further levels—Extra 3 (Number Ball Special), World 4-4 (Six-Face Sal's Fort), and World 5-6 (Find the Number Ball!), with the final appearance being Secret 2 (Yikes! Boiling Hot!).
Yoshi's New Island[edit ]
Fangs once again appear in Yoshi's New Island , with one, named Count Fang, being turning supersized thanks to Kamek's magic mallet, and is the boss of World 2. Count Fang is surrounded by purple Fangs which must be eaten to damage him. Fang's internal filename for this game is "basabasa", sharing this name with Swoop.
Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit ]
Fangs reappear in Yoshi's Woolly World made out of wool. When Fangs fly they leave long, purple dashed trails in a similar manner to that of running stitch. Fangs also appear in the remake of the game Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World . Compared to other appearances, they are light-blue instead of blue (making them resemble their Super Princess Peach appearance) and have orange wings this time. They turn into light-blue yarn balls when eaten.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit ]
Fangs reappear in Yoshi's Crafted World as rare enemies, only appearing in two levels: Whistlestop Rails and Be Afraid of the Dark. Their wings are now purple like those of Swoops.
Yoshi Touch & Go[edit ]
Fangs are also seen in Yoshi Touch & Go , where they patrol ground areas and appear not only in caves, but also in additional areas such as jungles and fields. These Fangs can only be found sleeping on ceilings in cave stages, and are otherwise always in flight, soaring up and down at varying intervals. If shot down with an egg or stomped, they are worth two points, and encasing them in a bubble can earn the player a Blue Coin. In this game, Fangs are purple, matching their original artwork. On a related note, Fangs were also present in the Balloon Trip tech demo which eventually evolved into the final Yoshi Touch & Go. In Balloon Trip, Fangs were found in the sky (an area they are absent from in Yoshi Touch & Go) and continually circled around; such a role was taken up by red Fly Guys in the final game.
Super Princess Peach[edit ]
Fangs are enemies in Super Princess Peach . They maintain their design from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Fangs appear with another variant called Glad Fangs and fly right at Peach instead of just around the screen. In several levels, small versions are grouped in clusters which Peach must remove by using the Rage vibe to scare them away. Their wings are now yellow instead of red, while Glad Fangs have red wings instead.
