| '''Hookbill the Koopa''' is a [[List of bosses|boss]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. He is an enlarged [[Koopa Troopa|red Koopa Troopa]].
| |
|
| |
|
| 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. Additionally, [[Kent C. Koopa]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'' resembles a bespectacled version of Hookbill.
| | '''Hookbill the Koopa''' is a [[Koopa Troopa]] in the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. He is the [[boss]] in world 5 and he resides atop the final castle in that world. When [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]] reach the top of the castle where Hookbill lurks, a fog envelops him as he crosses the bridge. The fog fades and HookBill and [[Kamek]] await his presence. Kamek threatens Yoshi by saying "Little koopa come through for me now! go forth and rock Yoshi's world" and casts a magical spell on Hookbill. Hiding in his shell he grows to an enormous size. |

| |
| Hookbill the Koopa is the main boss of [[World 4 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 4]] in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its remake]], where it resides atop the [[Hookbill The Koopa's Castle|castle of that world]]. When [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]] reach the area with Hookbill, they encounter a normal Koopa Troopa, whom [[Kamek]] suddenly casts his magic on to enlarge it into Hookbill the Koopa. Walking on all fours, he creeps towards Blue Yoshi to attack him and Baby Mario. After walking on all fours for some time, he stands up and runs in Blue Yoshi's direction and lunges at him. Hookbill can take damage from [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s being thrown at either his head or arms. Hookbill coughs up eggs for Blue Yoshi to use if either his head or shell is stomped. After four hits while on all fours or after three hits while on two legs, Hookbill will fall backwards, leaving his belly vulnerable to being [[Ground Pound|ground pounded]] and damage. Hookbill then retreats into his shell to start pounding the ground, though this also occurs after a period of time. After three hits, Hookbill's shell explodes and disappears, and Hookbill (with no shell and reverted to normal size) falls from the top of the castle in defeat.

|
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| | After the transformation is complete Hookbill shows his self. Walking on all fours he creeps towards Yoshi to attack him and Baby Mario. After a while of walking on all fours he stands up and runs in Yoshis direction soon after, he lunges at him. Yoshi then must dodge the attack in order to avoid getting hurt. If Yoshi jumps on Hookbills shell and/or head, Hookbill will cough out [[Yoshi Eggs]] for Yoshi to use against him. Yoshi then must take aim around his head and arms shooting him 3-4 times (whether or not if he is on all four). Hookbill will then fall on his back struggling to recuperate. Jumping onto over sized koopas belly Yoshi then must [[ground pound]] it causing damage. If Yoshi fails to do so, Hookbill will recover by hiding in its shell pounding the ground. Additionally Hookbill will do the same recovering counter attack if you do damage to his belly. Yoshi must do this process a total of 3 times in order to defeat Hookbill. When Yoshi lays the final attack on Hookbill, His shell will explode. The normal sized Hookbill will pop out in his boxers and fall of the castle. |
| Hookbill the Koopa makes a cameo appearance in the introduction to ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', alongside the other castle bosses from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' during a recap of the events within said game.

| ===''Tetris Attack''===
| | He re-appeared in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' as one of the truly evil opponents in the game, and had no ally. The game also implied that he speaks in a hasty and stressed way. |
| Hookbill The Koopa is an antagonist in ''[[Tetris Attack]]''. He appears one of [[Bowser]]'s allies and speaks with a stutter. Hookbill The Koopa takes the role of Phoenix from the original ''{{iw|nwiki|Panel de Pon}}'' at Stage 9. Unlike the other characters, Hookbill is not assisted by anyone else.

| |JapM=The shell body attack is extremely dangerous. 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.

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>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|page=18|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English}}</ref>

| *Hookbill the Koopa is the only boss in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' other than Baby Bowser whose explosion effects are a different coloration from the magic spells cast upon by Kamek (shared by a Yellow Yoshi post-boss battle in Prince Froggy's Fort).
