- —Spriteling, Wario World
A Tulipatooie is an enemy in Wario World. It is encountered in Beanstalk Way. Its name is a portmanteau of "tulip" and "ptooie", an onomatopoeia for spitting. Tulipatooies spit out Glue Globes before sucking them back up constantly. A Tulipatooie can be bypassed if Wario sticks to the Glue Globe as it comes out and jumps off immediately lest he take damage. Tulipatooies cannot be attacked or defeated. A Tulipatooie has similar behavior, design concept, and name to Ptooies, which blow spiked balls over their head.
