'''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 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''====
'''Hookbill the Koopa''' is an enlarged [[Koopa Troopa]] in the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. He is the [[List of bosses|boss]] of [[World 4 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 4]] and resides atop the [[Hookbill The Koopa's Castle|castle of that world]].
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''===
==History==
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.

|type=Shogakukan guide description
When [[Blue Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]] reach the bridge on which Hookbill is fought, a fog envelops the area, dissipating on the other side. Blue Yoshi and Baby Mario then encounter a normal Koopa Troopa and [[Kamek]], who casts his magic on the Koopa. The Koopa Troopa retreats into his shell, which grows into an [[Big Koopa Troopa|enormous-sized Koopa]].
|Jpn=コウラのボディアタックはキョーレツ。でもカメだから、あおむけにひっくり返せばこっちのもの。背中をふむと、ゼイゼイしながらタマゴを吐く。ちょっとキモチワルイ。<ref>{{cite|title=「スーパーマリオヨッシーアイランド任天堂公式ガイドブック」 (''Super Mario: Yossy Island Nintendo Kōshiki Guidebook'')|page={{file link|Super Mario Yossy Island Shogakukan P9.jpg|9}}|publisher=Shogakukan|language=Japanese|date=September 20, 1995|isbn=4-09-102523-4}}</ref>
 
|JpnM=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.
After the transformation is complete, Hookbill re-emerges from his shell. 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 the dinosaur. Blue Yoshi then must dodge the attack in order to avoid getting hurt. To defeat Hookbill, Blue Yoshi must first throw [[Yoshi Eggs]] at his head or arms. Jumping on Hookbill's shell or head will cause Hookbill to cough up eggs for Blue Yoshi to use should his supply get depleted. After four hits while on all fours or after three hits while on two legs, Hookbill will fall backwards and will be briefly vulnerable to attack. Blue Yoshi must jump on and then [[Ground Pound|ground pound]] Hookbill's exposed underside, delivering damage to Hookbill. After this (or after a certain amount of time passes), Hookbill will recover, retreat into his shell, and begin pounding the ground. He will then re-emerge, and the process will have to be repeated. Once his underside has been pounded three times, Hookbill is defeated. His shell explodes and disappears, and Hookbill (with no shell) falls from the top of the castle.

|Eng=Mists swirl around the castle high up in the mountains at the end of World 4. Yoshi finally makes it to the parapet, the mists clear, and Eeek! 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>{{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 reappears in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'' as one of [[Bowser]]'s allies in the game and speaks with a stutter. Here, he takes Phoenix's place of the original ''Panel de Pon'' at Stage 9, and unlike other characters, Hookbill does not have a personal ally of his own.

==Notes==
*The design of the turtle boss had several revisions during the development of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', earlier depicted as a shelled creature somewhat resembling [[Birdo]].<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Development:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/Sprites#Hookbill|Development:''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''/Sprites#Hookbill]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=October 30, 2021}}</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).


==References==
==Trivia==
<references/>
*Hookbill bears some resemblance to [[Snifburg the Unfeeling]] as both takes several hits to be knocked over, and when knocked over takes a [[ground-pound]] to damage.
