===''Kirby Mass Attack''===

{{quote|I feel like I've seen the boss of this island somewhere before... If you're trying to cut him down to size, I'd say you should attack the hard parts of his body. Watch out for the spiked balls though. Keep your eyes peeled for attacks from above. After he drops those, I bet he'll get tired and stop moving for a little while. That's the time to strike!|[[Daroach]] in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''}}

Whispy Woods also appears as the first boss of the [[Sub-Game]]s [[Strato Patrol EOS]] and [[Kirby Brawlball]]. Flanked by three [[Bigger Beanbon]]s in Strato Patrol EOS, Whispy attacks by dropping three bouncy fruits or turning his nose into missiles, as well as being defended by the Beanbons and their explosive seeds.

In Kirby Brawlball, he does not use apples for unknown reasons, instead relying only on his [[Air Bullet]]s.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Whispy Woods once again appears as the boss of the first level of the game, [[Cookie Country]], and has been given more attacks in said game than in any previous incarnation, especially in [[Extra Mode]]. Whispy Woods will once again use the initial strategy of dropping apples and puffing air in the beginning stages. Additionally, Whispy Woods will grow significantly larger once his health drops to about half, dropping enemies such as [[Waddle Dee]]s and [[Gordo]]s. Whispy Woods will also inhale Kirby and chew on him, causing damage, forcing the player to shake the Wii Remote to allow Kirby to escape.

In addition to his powered-up attacks, Whispy has a severe weakness to Fire-based attacks. If Kirby and all of his allies attack him at once using fiery attacks during the second phase, Whispy will catch fire, and continually take damage until defeated, being no longer able to fight. Whispy also has an older relative in this title, called [[Yggy Woods]], and an even more powerful relative from [[Another Dimension]] known as [[Parallel Woods]]. Whispy is the only one of these trees that can be [[Make Friend|befriended]] upon defeat, though only in Fruity Forest. When befriended, Whispy will drop a large amount of items, including [[food|fruit]], some [[Point Star]]s, and a [[Picture Piece]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', Whispy Woods is found in the background of the [[Green Greens]] stage. He will occasionally blow, which will move the fighters. He will also sometimes launch several apples onto the stage, which can be eaten as healing items or thrown at opponents (this is determined at random when the apple is picked up).

===Filmography===

*In early games in the ''Kirby'' series, the actual entity of Whispy Woods was little more than his face. The tree was just a background element. Kirby also gets hurt when touching Whispy's face/nose in some of these games.

*Whispy Woods (not counting his relatives) has appeared in a total of 23 ''Kirby'' games, 18 of which were as a Boss or Mid-Boss. This ranks Whispy Woods as the second most prevalent boss character after [[Kracko]] (not counting [[King Dedede]], who makes appearances as a playable character just as often as a Boss).

*Prior to ''Kirby Super Star'', and past that up to ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', Whispy Woods was depicted without any lower stubs or branches on his sides. From ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' onward, Whispy fairly consistently has two stubs on his sides which resemble arms to an extent, but are completely useless to the tree. In some newer games, such as ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'', he is depicted with only one; in others, such as ''Kirby Mass Attack'', he has none at all.
