Knot-Wing the Koopa

"Knot-Wing, you're up! Swoop in from above and SQUISH THAT YOSHI."

- Kamek

Knot-Wing the Koopa appears as the mid-boss of World 2 in Yoshi's Woolly World. He also reappears in World 4 and World 6. In all three battles, his primary attacks are Ground Pounding and dashing inside his Koopa Shell.

in World 2, Yoshi can defeat Knot-Wing by tongue-grabbing the knot on his neck at the right time when he is on the ground, while he is performing his Ground Pound attacks. After doing so, Knot-Wing will flip over onto his back, exposing the bandages on his underside, allowing Yoshi to attack him with a Ground Pound. In world 4, Yoshi must allow Knot-Wing to slam into a broken part of the bridge, which causes him to touch the spikes at the bottom and flip over.In World 6, he can only be defeated when the Bill Blaster on his back is hit with a yarn ball, rather than untying a knot.

All three boss battles with Knot-Wing are replayable in the Boss Tent.
