| | '''Flurries''' (known as '''Nakabon''' in Japanese) are [[snowman]]-like creatures that appear in the icy regions of [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]] of [[Subcon]]. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' as enemies and soldiers of the [[8 bits]]. They are named after [[Wikipedia:Flurry|flurries]], which are brief periods of snowfall. They are the first [[Snowman]] species in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. |

| 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.
| | In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Flurries are clumsy enemies that run along the ice chasing after [[Mario]]. In most cases, they are easy to avoid, since they have poor traction and can slip off of the platform they're on to their doom. They usually appear in groups in an attempt to corner Mario or any of his allies. They only appear in the [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]]. |
| | |
| | Interestingly, Flurries actually have perfect traction in the rare instances that they can be lead onto non-ice surfaces, in particular at the bottom of the second tower in World 4-3. |

| 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.
| | In the direct sequel of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', Flurries make their return and play the same role as in the predecessor. They only appear in the third world of the game, which is also the icy land of Subcon itself. |

| ====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''==== | | ====''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. | | Flurries make an appearance in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remake]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' for [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]]. They appear in the accessible level [[Promo: Coro Coro Castle]] scanned by the [[e-Reader]]. 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 the [[Brick Block]] and/or the [[Advance Coin]]. These Flurries still move as if all surfaces are slippery ice blocks to them. |

| 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.
