Shoop da Whoop

The Shoop da Whoop is an internet meme that pops up in various games from "The Henry Stickmin Collection", most of the time as an easter egg that the player has to actively try to find (in which case finding him earns the player a medal/achievement).

Somehow, it is able to project itself onto countless objects, though these may be separate entities of the same type. It also appears to be inside both the sun and the moon.

Origin
Shoop da Whoop is the main protagonist of the Laser Collection YouTube series. He manifests as a face with red eyes and a large mouth. His most prominent superpower is his laser breath, which allows him to fire a powerful beam from his mouth. He tends to use it for comedic purposes.

This is also from ''DragonBall Z (The Original Anime) episode 157.

The fact that Shoop da Whoop causes damage with his power is referenced throughout the Henry Stickmin games.

Escaping the Prison
During the end credits for the Sneaky Escapist pathway, Shoop da Whoop is hidden in the sun. Clicking the sun reveals his face, after which he fires a laser at the fleeing Henry Stickmin, but misses.

Stealing the Diamond
The Shoop da Whoop Satellite Button is one of the four weapons the Center for Chaos Containment can use in the Just Plain Epic pathway.

Infiltrating the Airship
Just like in Escaping the Prison, Shoop da Whoop is hidden inside the sun, this time during the end credits for Relentless Bounty Hunter. If clicked, he once again tries to incinerate Henry, but fails to fire his laser and instead just coughs.

Fleeing the Complex
Three seperate Shoop da Whoops are hidden in this game. Finding all three is required to get the achievement:


 * By clicking on the Item during Presumed Dead; a small creature with Shoop da Whoop's face will pop out of the box.
 * By clicking the moon in the end credits of the same pathway, he tries to incinerate Henry but ends up giving up. This one is slightly different between the two versions of the game; in the Legacy version, the moon appears next to the airplane that Henry boarded. In the Remastered version, the moon appears above Henry as he walks away, wearing a purple scarf.
 * By clicking the moon during the Shadozer option in Ghost Inmate.

Completing the Mission

 * During Toppat King, if Henry chooses Summon, he summons a Shoop da Whoop creature from the moon to help him and the Right Hand Man fight off the military that has them surrounded. Unfortunately, it takes the creature a week to get there, with Henry and the Right Hand Man already have been arrested by the time it arrives.
 * A Shoop da Whoop is once more hidden in the sun, during the end credits for Capital Gains. If clicked, he attempts to fry Ellie Rose and Henry Stickmin as they fly away with the money cart from the Toppat Train.
 * In "Jewel Baron", during the Teleporter malfunctioning sequence, there is a split second where Henry appears next to a sculpture of Shoop da Whoop.

Trivia

 * If it is considered a character, it is the second-most commonly appearing character, appearing in all games except for Breaking the Bank.
 * In the Goodball fail in Stealing the Diamond, one of the error messages refers to Shoop da Whoop in Escaping the Prison. It also appears during the Easy Medal achievement in Fleeing the Complex, telling the player to press the sun in the Sneaky Ending.
 * Should it be observed closely at it in Completing the Mission along the Jewel Baron pathway when the Teleporter is chosen, it can be seen that it is a real life picture, making this the only real life picture in the whole game.
 * Additionally, the real life picture of the Shoop da Whoop is the same picture that PuffballsUnited created in one of his art classes.
 * In the Shoop da Whoop's appearance in the legacy version of the Presumed Dead ending, he appeared with black skin. This was changed to a camoflauge pattern for the remaster to avoid accidental racism, as the original design looked similar to blackface.
