'''Swoopies''' are red birds with a long beak and enemies that only appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Like the ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' enemy, [[Swoop]], Swoopies are named after their main trait of swooping.


Swoopies are the aerial equivalent of [[Bazza]]s and [[Lemguin]]s, in that they use a similar attack pattern. An indefinite number of Swoopies fly in a straight line from one hole in a tree to the next. Sometimes, when a Swoopy notices [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], it directly charges at them. Regardless of whether it hits them, Swoopy gets its beak stuck in the tree bark, allowing the [[Kong]]s to use it as a platform.

An individual Swoopy first appears in the level, [[Springin' Spiders]]. In [[Krematoa]], Swoopies have an entire level dedicated to and named after them, [[Swoopy Salvo]]. The level is set in a large, petrified forest where the Kongs must avoid barrages of Swoopies and use them as platforms to progress into the level. When Swoopies are in a group, they do not directly charge at the Kongs.
During the ending, in [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Swoopy is shown under the [[Flying Fiends]] category.
