Hookbill the Koopa: Difference between revisions

|latest_appearance=''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' ([[List of games by date#2006|2006]], cameo)

A similar boss called [[Knot-Wing the Koopa]] appears in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', as a recurring middle boss in even-numbered worlds. Knot-Wing is essentially a [[Koopa Paratroopa]] enlarged in the same fashion as Hookbill.

But since he is a turtle, he can be turned over on his back. When you step on his back, he spits out eggs while whimpering.  It's a little creepy.'')

It's a giant Koopa Troopa! Fortunately, Yoshi keeps his wits about him and remembers that Koopa Troopas are most vulnerable when on their backs. Watch out, though. Hookbill has the unique ability to pull in his head and shell the opposition.''<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. Page 18.</ref>
