These enemies have light-blue skin, big eyes, funnel-like mouths, and large, [[Octoomba]]-like suction cups on their undersides. | | '''Slurples''' are health-sucking space leeches in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They look very similar to [[Swoopin' Stu]]s and/or [[Poink]]s from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', and act like [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]] from the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. Slurples have light blue skin, big eyes, and snouts. They move by bouncing and will attack by latching on to [[Mario]] and draining health from him like alien leeches. In addition to damage, Mario's movement speed is slowed while a Slurple is attached to him. They 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 only yield one if spun. They can also be defeated by obstacles such as [[Boulder]]s. |

| 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. Slurples 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.
| | Slurples are creatures that first appear in [[Super Mario Galaxy]]. They resemble [[Octogoomba]]s, [[Octoboo]]s, and [[Boo]]s. They attack by latching onto Mario and drain his health, much like a [[Fuzzy]] from the [[Paper Mario]] series. If one latches onto Mario, Mario must [[spin]] to get it off. They chase Mario by bouncing and are extremely slow, making them easy to outrun. |

| | Sluples re-appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, with no notable differences. |
| 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.
