| '''Knot-Wing the Koopa''' is an enlarged [[Koopa Paratroopa]] boss in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. He serves as the mid-boss of [[World 2 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 2]]. He also reappears in [[World 4 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 4]] and [[World 6 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 6]]. In all three battles, his primary attacks are [[Ground Pound]]ing and dashing inside his shell. Knot-Wing the Koopa may be a winged homage to [[Hookbill the Koopa]], a boss from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Both Knot-Wing and Hookbill are red [[Koopa Troopa]]s that are enlarged by Kamek, with their shells being particularly larger than the rest of their respective bodies. They share a similar naming scheme in both English and Japanese as well.

| | '''Knot-Wing the Koopa''' appears as the mid-boss of [[World 2 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 2]] in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. He also reappears in [[World 4 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 4]] and [[World 6 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 6]]. In all three battles, his primary attacks are [[Ground Pound]]ing and dashing inside his [[Koopa Shell]]. |
| ===Knot-Wing the Koopa's Fort (Level 2-4)===
| |
| In World 2, [[Yoshi]] can defeat Knot-Wing by licking the knot on his neck at the right time when he is on the ground, while he is performing his Ground Pound attacks. After doing so, Knot-Wing flips over onto his back, exposing the bandages on his underside, allowing Yoshi to attack him with a Ground Pound.

|
| ===Knot-Wing the Koopa's Aqua Fort (Level 4-4)===
| | [[Yoshi]] can defeat Knot-Wing by tongue-grabbing the knot on his neck at the right time when he is on the ground, while he is performing his Ground Pound attacks. After doing so, Knot-Wing will flip over onto his back, exposing the bandages on his underside, allowing Yoshi to attack him with a Ground Pound. In World 6, he can only be defeated when the [[Bill Blaster]] on his back is hit with a yarn ball, rather than untying a knot. |

| |
| In World 4, Yoshi must allow Knot-Wing to slam into a broken part of the bridge, which accidentally causes him to touch the spikes at the bottom of the water and flip over to reveal his weak spot.

|
| ===Knot-Wing the Koopa's Sky Fort (Level 6-4)===
| | All three boss battles with Knot-Wing are replayable in the Boss Tent. |

| |
| In World 6, Knot-Wing can only be defeated when the [[Bill Blaster]] on his back is hit with a yarn ball thrown by Yoshi instead of untying a knot on his neck. Knot-Wing's wings can be lost, though he regains them, unlike Koopa Paratroopas.

|
| ===Boss Tent=== | | ==Trivia== |
| All three boss battles with Knot-Wing can be replayed in the [[Boss Tent]].
| | *Knot-Wing the Koopa may be a reference to [[Hookbill the Koopa]] due to having similar names and being giant Koopas. |
| {{br|left}}
| | **This also marks the first time the same enemy (a [[Koopa Troopa]] in this case) is transformed twice by [[Kamek]] in the [[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' series]]. |
| | *Knot-Wing is the only [[Koopa Paratroopa]] that can regain his wings after losing them. |
