'''Rope Waddle Doo'''{{title}} is an uncommon enemy which first appeared in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Much like [[Rope Waddle Dee]], Rope Waddle Doo swings back and forth on a rope, which can either be moving parallel to Kirby's plane of action, or perpendicular to it.

Rope Waddle Doo behaves exactly like Rope Waddle Dee while it is swinging, as it cannot fire its beam while on the rope. Cutting it down using a suitable ability will cause it to fall and return to being a standard Waddle Doo, whereupon it will start using its beam again. Otherwise, Rope Waddle Doo can be defeated by attacking it directly, or swallowing it to obtain the [[Beam]] ability.

This article is about Waddle Doos who swing on ropes. For Waddle Doos in a general context, see Waddle Doo.

Swinging Waddle Doo[Japanese title] is an uncommon enemy that first appeared in Kirby Super Star. Much like Swinging Waddle Dee, Swinging Waddle Doo swings back and forth on a rope, which can either be moving parallel or perpendicular to Kirby's plane of action.

Swinging Waddle Doo behaves exactly like Swinging Waddle Dee while it is swinging, as it cannot fire its beam while on the rope. Cutting it down using a suitable ability will cause it to fall and return to being a standard Waddle Doo, whereupon it will start using its beam again. Otherwise, Swinging Waddle Doo can be defeated by attacking it directly, or swallowing it to obtain the Beam ability.
