'''Swoopies''' are large, red, sharp-beaked birds encountered in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. Like [[Swoop]]s, their name comes from the fact that they swoop down at the Kongs. Swoopies are the aerial equivalent of [[Bazza]]s and [[Lemguin]]s, possessing a similar attack pattern of flying in lines from one hole in their tree to another. Despite being enemies, some Swoopies can be unintentionally helpful, as if a Swoopy misses a [[Kong]] it will sometimes get stuck in a wall and can be used as a platform. | '''Swoopies''' are large, red, sharp-beaked birds encountered in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''.

In the mandatory worlds of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', a Swoopy is only encountered briefly in one of the levels in the area [[Kremwood Forest]], [[Springin' Spiders]]. However, in the optional world [[Krematoa]], the Swoopies have an entire level dedicated to them, called "[[Swoopy Salvo]]". Here [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] have to venture through a large petrified forest, all the while dodging barrages of Swoopies. Several Swoopies have to be used as steps to climb up trees. | In the mandatory worlds of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', a Swoopy is only encountered briefly in one of the levels in the area [[Kremwood Forest]], [[Springin' Spiders]].
