| '''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 first appeared in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as semi-common enemies in the games various underwater levels. Shuries have two attack patterns, orange Shuries would wait for the Kongs to approach and then charge at them spinning rapidly while the pink variety will spin through the water attack anything that gets close. Shuries could only be defeated by [[Enguarde]] the Swordfish. |
| Shuries are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They can move in only straight lines, unlike before. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Super Mario-kun''===
| | Shuries also appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'s'' pseudo-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', here their attack pattern was the same. |

| 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 make another reappearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Here they were rare enemies only encountered in a few of the games underwater areas, their attack pattern was also relatively the same as the orange variety. In this game Shuries cannot be defeated. |
| 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 also appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and its sequel, ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]'', where they attack the same way as in their first appearance. |
| 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. | |
|
| |
|
| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | The name Shuri is possibly derived from the throwing weapon the '''shuri'''ken, which incidentally resembles a star. |
