Whippy first appears in Raisin Ruins. It sits in idly one spot, flicking its tail. When the player gets close, it swings its tail around momentarily. After this delay, it aims at a nearby player and cracks its tail like a whip. Whippy also appears in the WhipChallenge.
In Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Whippy appears in the New Challenge Stages mode, specifically in the Whip and Smash Challenges. Whippy also appears in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, where it behaves the like it does in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
Only a single Whippy appears in the game, located in Stage 7 of Access Ark. The source of the Whip ability is now greatly attributed to Wester, an enemy that debuted in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
