'''Swoopies''' are red birds with a long beak and 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.

'''Swoopies''' are large, red, sharp-beaked birds encountered in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]''. Like [[Swooper]]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.

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.
