'''Gushens''' are purple {{wp|flapjack octopus}}-like creatures encased in balls of water found in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], [[Sand Kingdom]] and [[Mushroom Kingdom]] of ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are normally found floating on the surface of the water in their water balls, occasionally making large vertical leaps.

'''Gushens''' are purple {{wp|flapjack octopus}}-like creatures in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They appear in the [[Seaside Kingdom]], [[Sand Kingdom]], and [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. Gushens are normally found floating on the surface of the water in their water balls, occasionally making large vertical leaps. However, when [[Mario]] approaches, they shoot a powerful stream of water from their undersides. If Mario [[capture]]s one, he can use it to fly. The result is similar to [[F.L.U.D.D.]]'s [[Hover Nozzle]], in that it propels Mario upwards for a limited time before needing to be refilled by touching water, a [[Power Moon]], or a [[Checkpoint Flag]], although the height he can travel to is more akin to the [[Rocket Nozzle]], and the high speeds he travels on water make it akin to the [[Turbo Nozzle]]. He is also capable of spinning while shooting to the side to spray all around him, and the water can clean away [[lava]] as though it were [[goop]], like the Squirt Nozzle. [[Mollusque-Lanceur]], the boss of the Seaside Kingdom, is a giant Gushen who resembles a giant octopus. While the Gushens have only golden mustaches, Mollusque-Lanceur has a large golden beard.  


Gushens turn dark grey and move slowly on land without their water balls. When moving in this state, they leave a short wet trail that soaks the ground, causing it to have an uneven appearance. De-capturing them in this state causes them to vanish. They can be defeated by spraying them as another Gushen, or simply [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing them as Mario. They can also be defeated by a [[Cheep Cheep]]'s tail swipe.

{{foreign names
Only a single Gushen appears in Mollusque-Lanceur's rematch, and it gives Mario unlimited water supply due to the constant raining.
|Fra=Giclopode
|FraM=Portmanteau of <i>gicler</i> (squirt) and <i>pode</i> (pod). }}

*The part of the body that Gushens shoot water from would be the mouth on a real octopus; however, Gushens appear to have yellow mouths on their fronts.

*Real cephalopods indeed shoot water from their bodies to move; however, these are from funnels higher up on the body, not the mouths.

==Trivia==
*The part of the body that Gushens shoot water from would be the mouth on a real octopus; however, Gushens appear to have tan mustaches on their fronts.
**Real cephalopods indeed shoot water from their bodies to move; however, these are from funnels higher up on the body, not the mouths.
*Gushens are the only capturable creatures in the game that still have a mustache when not captured by Mario.
**Thus, Gushens are the only capturable creatures that do not gain a Mario mustache, with the tan mustache instead being recolored to match that of Mario.
*There are four Power Moons that can be obtained through planting [[Seed (Super Mario Odyssey)|seeds]] in the Seaside Kingdom. If Mario uses a Gushen to water them, the growing process noticeably speeds up.
