Whispy Woods: Difference between revisions
"Woddo" isn't the most accurate romanization here, it'd be more like "Woodo" though it's kind of difficult to accurately transliterate

Whispy Woods is the first boss of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', fought at the end of [[Green Greens]] and later on appears in [[Mt. Dedede]]. His attack patterns are extremely simple, and will either shoot out a few [[Air Bullet]]s at [[Kirby]], or will drop [[Apple]]s from his canopy. Kirby can inhale the apples and spit them back out as [[Star Bullet]]s to deal Whispy damage. After six hits, he stops fighting, and yields a [[Sparkling Star]] for Kirby to collect. | Whispy Woods is the first boss of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', fought at the end of [[Green Greens]] and later on appears in [[Mt.
