Tap-Taps are immune to most direct attacks; if Yoshis attempt to eat a Tap-Tap, they only push it slightly with their tongue. Tap-Taps are also resistant to [[Yoshi Egg]]s and [[Huffin Puffin]] chicks, although they will be sent rolling backwards if hit with one. To defeat a Tap-Tap, it has to collide with another enemy while rolling. [[Chomp Rock]]s, ice breath and fire breath attacks are also capable of defeating a Tap-Tap. Forcing a Tap-Tap into the lava or the water can result in it burning away or drowning. There are two color variations seen in Tap-Taps: gray ones with orange noses and purple feet, and orange ones with green noses and blue feet. Gray ones remain on their platform, while orange ones walk off the platform they are on. This difference in behavior is also seen in red and green [[Koopa Troopa]]s, respectively. Sometimes, they are found hopping up and down; these variants are specified as '''Hopping Tap-Taps''' in the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]].<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=American English|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=[[media:SMW2 Guide 127.jpg|127]]}}</ref> | ||
