+'''Swoopies''' are red birds with a long beak and enemies that only appear 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.

+Swoopies are the aerial equivalent of [[Bazza]]s and [[Lemguin]]s, in that they use a similar attack pattern. An indefinite number of Swoopies fly in a straight line from one hole in a tree to the next. Sometimes, when a Swoopy notices [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], it directly charges at them. Regardless of whether it hits them, Swoopy gets its beak stuck in the tree bark, allowing the [[Kong]]s to use it as a platform.
-'''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 sometimes gets stuck in a wall and can be used as a platform.
+An individual Swoopy first appears in the level, [[Springin' Spiders]]. In [[Krematoa]], Swoopies have an entire level dedicated to and named after them, [[Swoopy Salvo]]. The level is set in a large, petrified forest where the Kongs must avoid barrages of Swoopies and use them as platforms to progress into the level. When Swoopies are in a group, they do not directly charge at the Kongs.

+During the ending, in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Swoopy is shown under the [[Flying Fiends]] category.
-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.
