Tap-Tap the Red Nose
Tap-Tap the Red Nose is the mid-boss of World 6 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He was originally an ordinary Tap-Tap, until Kamek cast a spell on him to make him grow gigantic. He attacks by jumping onto Yellow Yoshi, trying to hit him with his spiky body. In the room where the battle takes place, the floor is made up of rectangular blocks, which can be destroyed by throwing eggs at them. Since the large Tap-Tap is invincible to all of Yoshi's attacks, Yoshi has to destroy him by creating an opening in the floor and pushing Tap-Tap into it to make him fall into the lava below.
He may be later resurrected as Tap-Tap the Golden, since the Nintendo Power Guide states his introduction as "Tap-Tap the Golden is back", though they may have meant Tap-Tap the Red Nose since Tap-Tap the Golden had never appeared before.
