'''Shuries'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|page={{file link|DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|29}}}}</ref> are enemies introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. These starfish creatures are encountered in the underwater areas of [[Donkey Kong Island]] and [[Crocodile Isle]] alike. Their name is an abbreviation of {{wp|shuriken}}, a spinning weapon which incidentally resembles a starfish.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Shuries are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. They are encountered in many underwater levels, starting with [[Lockjaw's Locker (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lockjaw's Locker]]. Shuries appear in orange and pink variations; the former type spins through the water in diagonal lines and bounces off of walls, while the latter type awaits [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] in a corner before spinning in their direction. A Shuri can damage the Kongs on contact, like with other enemies. Shuries can be defeated by [[Enguarde]] only. In the cast roll, a Shuri is grouped as part of the [[Submerged Seadogs]].

===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
Shuries are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They can move in only straight lines, unlike before.

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:ShuriKun.png|thumb|150px|A Shuri in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
A Shuri makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Shuri.

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
Shuries are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are encountered in a few underwater areas only, and all of them are colored orange. Shuries were also given a purple variant in scuba gear, [[Scubi]]. Shuries retain their attack patterns from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. In one of [[Angry Aztec]]'s temples, it is possible to defeat a Shuri with an [[orange]], although it does not yield any melon slices for doing so; besides this, Shuries cannot be defeated otherwise.

===''DK'' series===
Shuries are enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. In both games, they retain their attack pattern, and can be defeated from a charge attack.
