Tap-Taps first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and return in its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 | Tap-Taps first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and return in its enhanced port, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. Tap-Taps are immune to most direct attacks; if Yoshis attempt to eat a Tap-Tap, they only push the enemy slightly with their tongue. The enemy is 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 green and red [[Koopa Troopa]]s. 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>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 127.jpg|Page 127]]</ref> | ||
A Tap-Tap is encountered as a mid-boss called [[Tap-Tap the Red Nose]]. A similar enemy is later encountered in [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]], known as [[Tap-Tap the Golden]]. | A Tap-Tap is encountered as a mid-boss called [[Tap-Tap the Red Nose]].

Tap-Taps also appear in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'', where they first appear at the end of the fifth chapter of [[Tale of the Spirit of Money]]. Later, the third chapter of [[Tale of the Spirit of Power]] involves defeating at least eight of them. While still normally invincible, the rolling-up platforms can be used to crush them or cause them to fall into [[Spike Trap|spike]]s. Orange ones are found during the second phase of the battle against [[Bowser]]. Whenever Bowser jumps or is hit by a [[Bomb (object)|bomb]], he slams against the ground, causing three orange Tap-Taps to fall from above. They roll along the ground, and go in the direction that the player tilts the [[Game Boy Advance]]. They cause three points of damage to [[Yoshi]] upon contact with him. | Tap-Taps also appear in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'', where they first appear at the end of the fifth chapter of [[Tale of the Spirit of Money]].
