Swooper Dooper's name is, perhaps, a pun on the phrase "super duper", used to describe something glorious or very impressing. The name also implies the bird's only method of attack: swooping. It flings its wings in one place in the air, until deciding to drop down in a "U" shaped path, attempting to hurt the [[Kong]]s. After this, they stop again in the air, and turn around performing the same movement as before, only in the opposite direction. A single [[stomp]] is required to defeat a Swooper Dooper.
Much like their name describes, Swooper Doopers attack by swooping repeatedly from side to side. They can damage the [[Kong]]s if they fly into them, causing them to lose a heart from their health meter. Swooper Doopers can be defeated in any manner, including a jump attack, a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]] and an object throw.


Swooper Doopers are among the enemies native to [[Bright Savannah]], an African-inspired island and [[world]] from the game. They can be found in almost every level of this world, with [[Twilight Terror]] and the [[Ba-Boom|boss stage]] being exceptions. Likewise, the player cannot interact with them in [[Cannon Canyon]], as they fly around in the background; one can be seen standing on a cliff and watching the Kongs progressing through the level.
