'''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.
