'''Swoopies''' are red birds with a long beak | '''Swoopies''' are red birds with a long beak that appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Like the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' enemy, [[Swoop]], Swoopies are named after their main trait of swooping. In [[Krematoa]], Swoopies have a level dedicated to them, [[Swoopy Salvo]], which they appear throughout. There are two types of Swoopies, each behaving differently, although their appearance is identical. | ||
The first type, upon noticing [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] nearby, quickly swoops into a tree trunk, causing its beak to become stuck. This allows the [[Kong]]s to use it as a platform and reach higher areas. This type first appears in the level [[Springin' Spiders]], although only one appears in the level. During parts of the second half of Swoopy Salvo, the Kongs must jump on some of them | |||
The second type only appears in Swoopy Salvo. Here, an unlimited number of them fly quickly through small holes within the hollow trees. This makes them the aerial equivalent of [[Bazza]]s and [[Lemguin]]s. They fly at a diagonal pattern, and can damage the Kongs upon contact. These Swoopies can be optionally defeated by either a [[jump]] attack or from [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spitting an egg at them. | |||
In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Swoopy appears under the [[Flying Fiends]] category. | |||
