Just move your Kirbys in unison, and keep that tower in check. You know you're about to see the tower come falling down when the bats fly off. Keep an eye on them.

A bat is a small mammal in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Mass Attack.

Physical Appearance[]

A bat is a purpleish-black creature that looks like a vampire bat. It has white eyes, a pink nose, and pink ears.

Games[]

Kirby Mass Attack[]

Bats appear exclusively in Stage 8 of Volcano Valley, hanging from the exterior ledges of the Skull Tower. They cannot interact with the Kirbys, so they pose no threat. They act as a warning for the player; when the Kirbys tilt the Skull Tower too far to one side, the bats on the building panic and fly away, giving the player a nonverbal cue to move the Kirbys to the other side. If the player does not act quickly enough, the tower collapses and instantly KOs the Kirbys, resulting in an immediate game over.

Even if the player rebalances the tower, the bats that flew away do not return. This means the player must use the bats' warning well. The bats appear hanging from ledges on the outside of every room in Skull Tower except the exit.

The Rhino Beetles that cling to the Teetering Tree in Dedede Resort serve the same purpose as these bats.
