Swoopy: Difference between revisions

'''Swoopies''' are red birds with a long beak that appear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Swoopies are named after their main trait of swooping, just like the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' enemy [[Swoop]]. Some Swoopies, upon noticing [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] nearby, quickly swoops into a tree trunk, where its beak to become stuck, allowing the [[Kong]]s to use it as a platform and reach higher areas. Swoopies with this behavior first appear in the level [[Springin' Spiders]]. During parts of the second half of Swoopy Salvo, where Swoopies appear throughout, the Kongs must jump on some Swoopies to progress. Additionally, Swoopy Salvo features an unlimited number of Swoopies that can fly quickly through small holes within the hollow trees, a type of behavior similarly shown by [[Bazza]]s and [[Lemguin]]s. These Swoopies fly at a diagonal pattern, but can be defeated by either being [[jump]]ed on or from one of [[Squawks]]' [[egg]] projectile. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], there is a photography of Swoopy under the [[Flying Fiends]] category.
