“Knot-Wing, you're up! Swoop in from above and SQUISH THAT YOSHI.”

—Kamek, Yoshi's Woolly World

Knot-Wing the Koopa is a Koopa Paratroopa boss in Yoshi's Woolly World. He serves as the mid-boss of World 2. He also reappears in World 4 and World 6. In all three battles, his primary attacks are Ground Pounding and dashing inside his shell.

In World 2, Yoshi can defeat Knot-Wing by licking the knot on his neck at the right time when he is on the ground, while he is performing his Ground Pound attacks. After doing so, Knot-Wing will flip over onto his back, exposing the bandages on his underside, allowing Yoshi to attack him with a Ground Pound. In World 4, Yoshi must allow Knot-Wing to slam into a broken part of the bridge, which accidentally causes him to touch the spikes at the bottom of the water and flip over to reveal his weak spot. In World 6, Knot-Wing can only be defeated when the Bill Blaster on his back is hit with a yarn ball thrown by Yoshi instead of untying a knot on his neck.

All three boss battles with Knot-Wing can be replayed in the Boss Tent.

Trivia[edit]

• Knot-Wing is the only Koopa Paratroopa that can regain his wings after losing them.

Knot-Wing the Koopa's Fort is the fourth level of World 2 in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. It contains the game's third boss, Knot-Wing the Koopa.

Layout[edit]

This is a fort level that contains many Koopa Troopas and Koopa Paratroopas, as well as 8-bit Koopa shells found in walls that can be used as normal Koopa shells. There are lots of strings in this level that have to be unravelled in order to open up a new area to keep playing the level. There are lots of keys in this level, allowing players to open doors to progress through the level.

After finishing the level, Kamek will enlarge Knot-Wing the Koopa, engaging the boss battle. To defeat Knot-Wing, Yoshi has to eat his wings, and then ground pound on his belly. Knot-Wing will then retreat into his shell and charge at Yoshi while ricocheting off walls. Knot-Wing is defeated after the third hit.

Enemies[edit]

• Knot-Wing the Koopa (boss)

Collectibles[edit]

Smiley Flowers[edit]

• Smiley Flower 1: On the left side of the starting point, guarded by three Piranha Plants. To get at it, Yoshi must eat a Koopa Troopa and spit out its shell at the Piranha Plants, defeating them all.
• Smiley Flower 2: Inside a hidden Winged Cloud, almost immediately after the door concealing the second Wonder Wool.
• Smiley Flower 3: In an alcove immediately below the first checkpoint. Yoshi must ground pound the blocks and step through the one-way gate to the Smiley Flower.
• Smiley Flower 4: After the first Koopa Shell Patch, Yoshi must eat the edible wall from the left and enter the door. In the secret room, the bottom-right Present Box contains the Smiley Flower.
• Smiley Flower 5: Immediately after the fifth Wonder Wool, right over the lava. Yoshi must throw a Koopa Shell or a yarn ball at it to reach it.

Wonder Wools[edit]

• Wonder Wool 1: At the alcove above the left green warp pipe near the start of the level. To obtain it, Yoshi must eat the wall on the left.
• Wonder Wool 2: At the very top of the first section of the level, a hidden Winged Cloud is present. Yoshi must throw a yarn ball at it to reveal a door. Inside that door, Yoshi must then use the nearby Koopa Troopa to defeat all of the Hook Guys and obtain the Wonder Wool.
• Wonder Wool 3: Immediately after the doorway to the fourth Smiley Flower and just before the warp pipe, Yoshi must reveal two hidden semi-solid platforms and throw yarn balls at them to make them accessible. The platforms lead to the Wonder Wool.
• Wonder Wool 4: After the second and third Koopa Shell Patches, in a hidden Winged Cloud.
• Wonder Wool 5: Immediately after the checkpoint, hanging just out of reach of a Flutter Jump. Yoshi must throw a yarn ball at it.

Collecting all the Wonder Wools knits Ashen Yoshi back together.
