'''Tap-Tap the Red Nose''' is the mid-boss of [[World 6 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 6]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. It was originally an ordinary [[Tap-Tap]] until [[Kamek]] cast a spell on it to make it grow gigantic. It attacks by jumping onto [[Yellow Yoshi]], trying to hit him with its spiky body.

Trivia
- Tap-Tap the Red Nose may be a pun on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
- A similar entity, Tap-Tap the Golden, could be a resurrected Tap-Tap the Red Nose, since the Nintendo Power Guide introduces it with the phrase "Tap-Tap the Golden is back", though this is likely an error.
- Tap-Tap the Red Nose is the only boss that Yoshi doesn't meet by entering a boss door.
- Tap-Tap's battle arena is similarily structured to Breakout, seeing as Yoshi has to break certain parts of the floor with eggs to knock him into the lava.
