'''Slurples'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=29|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> are parasitic alien [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. These enemies have light-blue skin, big eyes, funnel-like mouths, and large, [[Octoomba]]-like suction cups on their undersides.


==History==
[[Image:galaxy0.jpg|right|thumb|'''Swoopin' Poinks''' sucking health from [[Mario]].]]
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
Slurples first appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', usually appearing in groups of three to five. They at first sit in place, pulsating, but start bouncing at [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) when he approaches, making a popping noise as they move. If they touch him, they will latch on and start slowly draining health from him, like [[Kamikami]]. In addition to damage, Mario's movement speed is slowed while a Slurple is attached to him. Slurples can be defeated with a [[spin]] or a flung [[Star Bit]]. If hit with a Star Bit, they will yield three additional Star Bits, while they will yield only one if spun into. They can also be defeated by obstacles such as [[boulder]]s. They appear primarily in organic [[galaxy|galaxies]] with a large amount of greenery.


An [[list of Super Mario Galaxy pre-release and unused content|unused]] purple variant of Slurple is located in the files of ''Super Mario Galaxy'', under the name '''KariKari'''.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|language=en|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Galaxy/Unused Models#KariKari|''Super Mario Galaxy''/Unused Models § KariKari]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=February 20, 2020}}</ref> Its name resembles [[Karikari]], an enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', on which the developers previously worked.
'''Swoopin' Poinks''' are health-sucking space leeches in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They seem to look very similar to [[Swoopin' Stu]]s and/or [[Poink]]s. Swoopin' Poinks have gooey purple skin, big eyes, and snouts. They use their body and snouts to suck health from [[Mario]]. Not much is known about them, except the information that has been given.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Slurples are far less common, but they act the same as before. They now appear in block-themed galaxies rather than natural ones.
