-'''Swooper Doopers'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> are white-feathered avian enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. In countenance, they seem to draw inspiration from [[wikipedia:Flamingo|flamingos]], since they have thin legs tucked into a sack-shaped torso, which tapers abruptly into a short and narrow neck. The feathers on their small wings have a gradient of red. However, the feathers on theirs tails, which are connected in a tuft, are colored entirely red. Each Swooper Dooper sports a tribal mask, accompanied by a crown of red feathers which is arched around its head. Lastly, it features a large curved beak that is similar in design to that of [[Dozy|Dozies]] and [[Sour Dodo]]s, also bird enemies originating in the same game.

+'''Swooper Doopers'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> are avian enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]]. They resemble {{wp|secretarybird}}s with red feathers on their small wings and tails. They wear a tribal mask, accompanied by a crown of red feathers which is arched around their head. Their name is a pun on the phrase "{{wp|super-duper}}", a colloquial phrase that describes something as very great.

+As their name suggests, Swooper Doopers attack by swooping repeatedly from side to side. Swooper Doopers can injure the [[Kong]]s by flying into them, causing the Kongs to lose a heart point. Swooper Doopers can be defeated in any manner, including a jump attack, a [[Roll Attack|roll attack]], throwing an object, or with [[Rambi]]. By jumping on a Swooper Dooper, the Kongs can get a height boost into the air.
-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.
-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.
+Swooper Doopers are one of the enemies that are native to [[Bright Savannah]]. They appear in every level of the world except [[Twilight Terror]] and [[Triple Trouble]]. In [[Cannon Canyon]], Swooper Doopers only appear in the background, with one of them standing on a cliff and observing the Kongs shooting from a [[Barrel Cannon]].
