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.

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.
Flurries make an appearance in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They only appear in the [[World-e]] level [[Treacherous Halls]]. There are two of them, one of which can help Mario or [[Luigi]] pass through the spiky path via standing on their heads, and get a [[1-Up Mushroom]] and/or an [[Advance Coin]]. These Flurries have poor traction no matter what surface they are on.

==Trivia==
==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.
