-==History==
-===''Super Mario'' series===
-====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
-[[File:DokiFlurry.png|thumb|left|150px|Original design of a Flurry in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic Hisshō Kōryakuhō'']]
-Flurries are enemies in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. They run along the ice chasing after [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], or [[Toad]]. Like them, they have poor traction on the ice and can slip off of the platform they are on. They only appear in [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]]. In the rare instances that they can be led onto non-icy surfaces, such as the bottom of the second tower in [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-3]], they have perfect traction. In original releases, Flurries are entirely white, while in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''Super Mario Advance'' remakes, they are tinted pink and have blue feet.
-====''BS Super Mario USA''====
-Flurries are enemies in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. They make their return and play the same role as in the predecessor. They only appear in the third broadcast, which is also Subcon's icy area.
-====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
-Flurries are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are encountered only in the [[World-e]] level [[Treacherous Halls]]. Two Flurries appear, and they are shown with the ability to pass over [[Spike Trap|spikes]] harmlessly. Other than this, Flurries are the same as in their debut appearance.
-===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
-{{quote|It's them! Princess Toadstool and those two faucet freaks. C'mon, Flaky. Let's tell King Koopa so we can put 'em on ice for good.|Flurry|"[[The Bird! The Bird!]]"}}
-[[File:Flurries SMBSS.png|thumb|Two Flurries from ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''.]]
-Some Flurries occasionally appeared in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where they spoke, despite not having visible mouths. Due to [[Wart]] not appearing on the show, they work for [[Bowser|King Koopa]] here, and one ([[Flaky]]) even had a name. Staying true to the spirit of the games, Flurries appeared only in episodes that are set in snowy environments: the [[Land of Ice]] in "[[The Bird! The Bird!]]", the [[North Pole]] from "[[Koopa Klaus]]", and the [[Thirteen Mushroom Colonies]] in "[[The Koopas are Coming! The Koopas are Coming!]]" Unlike in the game, some of them have arms.
-===''Super Mario Adventures''===
-A Flurry, alongside a [[Shy Guy]] and [[Snifit]], attends Bowser's wedding to Princess Peach in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic.
-===''Nintendo Comics System''===
-[[File:Smb princess1.jpg|thumb|left|A page of [[Dear Princess Toadstool]] featuring Flurry's question]]
-In an installment of [[Dear Princess Toadstool]] feature in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'', a Flurry wrote to Princess Toadstool asking for a solution to get rid of snowflakes that are seen by other people as dandruff flakes. She responded that his friends should ignore the flakes, and he should respond back to strangers if they insult him. Immediately bellow her response has Luigi, as a barber, asking a Flurry if he wants to blow dry his "hair". He then told Luigi to just melt his sideburns.

-==Trivia==
-*Despite being an enemy in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', Flurry did not receive artwork in the manual until ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.<ref name=SMB2/> This is also the case for [[Tweeter]] and [[Spark]].
-*Flurry bears resemblance to {{iw|wikirby|Yuki}}, a mid-boss from ''{{iw|wikirby|Kirby's Dream Land 3}}'', as they both are short, stubby snowmen without mouths or arms, have two small black eyes, and have similar body shapes, though Yuki lacks feet.
