'''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.
'''Swinging Waddle Doo'''{{foreignTitle}} 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.


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.

===''Kirby Super Star''===
[[File:KSS Swinging Waddle Doo.png|thumb|Swinging Waddle Doo in the [[Sub-Tree]] area of [[The Great Cave Offensive]], in ''Kirby Super Star''.]]
Swinging Waddle Doo makes its first appearance in this game. It is considerably rarer than a regular Waddle Doo. If it survives being hit by something, it will detach from the rope and behave like a regular Waddle Doo.
 
There appears to be only two Swinging Waddle Doos in the game, both located in the [[Sub-Tree]] area of [[The Great Cave Offensive]]. Notably, [[Swinging Waddle Dee]] is not in this game, making its first debut in [[Revenge of the King]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.


===''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
===''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
Rope Waddle Doo debuts in this game, serving as an occasional replacement to the usual [[Rope Waddle Dee]].
Swinging Waddle Doo appears again in this game. In addition to the two Waddle Doos found in [[Sub-Tree]], they can also be found in the [[Illusion Islands]] and [[The Revenge]] stages in [[Revenge of the King]].
 
===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''===
Swinging Waddle Doo makes its first 3D appearance in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', where now it swings from a rope made of twine rather than the old ball-composed chain. The rope can be cut using the appropriate Copy Ability, causing Swinging Waddle Doo to fall to the ground and become a normal Waddle Doo.


===''{{KRDL KAW}}''===
There is only one Swinging Waddle Doo in the whole game, appearing exclusively in [[Onion Ocean - Stage 1]].
Rope Waddle Doo makes it's first 3D appearance, otherwise being unchanged.


===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' & ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' & ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
Rope Waddle Doo appears again, still largely unchanged. In ''Triple Deluxe'', it only appears in stage 6 EX of [[Fine Fields]]. In ''Planet Robobot'', it is not mechanized and only appears in [[Resolution Road]] stage 4.
Swinging Waddle Doo appears again in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', largely unchanged from its appearance in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', though now able to swing backward and forward relative to the stage walkways.
 
In ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', Swinging Waddle Doo only appears in [[Fine Fields - Stage 6 EX]] and [[Wild World - Stage 3]].
 
In ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', Swinging Waddle Doo is not mechanized and only appears in [[Resolution Road - Stage 4]].
