- —Hookbill the Koopa, Tetris Attack
Hookbill the Koopa is a familiar enemy in a not-so-familiar size. He was turned into a huge Gargantua Koopa Troopa by Kamek in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Wearing a dopey grin, Hookbill attempted to defeat Yoshi by using professional wrestling moves. However, by shooting Hookbill's large head when he charges forward, the Yoshi was able to knock over the colossal tortoise. Yoshi went on to Ground Pound the capsized Koopa.
If the player runs out of Yoshi Eggs, jumping on his shell or head will cause him to spit out eggs. Hookbill the Koopa is the Boss of World 4.
He re-appeared in Tetris Attack as one of the truly evil opponents in the game, and had no ally. The game also implied that he speaks in a hasty and stressed way.
