'''Squid Shots'''<ref>"Critters 2 Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref><ref>{{cite|quote=Round, turretlike structures called '''Squid Shots''' fire both of these enemies.|author=Knight, Michael|title=''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide|page=26|date=November 21, 2010|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|isbn=978-0-307-47102-4|language=en-us}}</ref> are wooden turret machines appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. They are short and cylindrical, have two built-in cannons on opposing sides, and are covered in starfishes and shells. They use [[Squidly]]s and sometimes [[Electrasquid]]s as projectiles, and their firing line is always straight. A Squid Shot may have its own shooting pattern, sometimes depending on its position; some Squid Shots can be found stacked on top of each other. Squid Shots themselves are not harmful and can be stood on as on a solid platform, but they are indestructible. They behave similarly to [[Bill Blaster]]s.

In-game, each Squid Shot is operated by a creature taking shelter inside the machine. Only its eyes can be seen as it looks through a hatch on the front of the Squid Shot. The direction its eyes are facing determines the direction it fires Squidlys/Electrasquids; if it is looking straight, it fires in both directions. However, the concept artwork depicts a Squid Shot being manned by a crab-looking creature.

Squid Shots debut in the level [[Sloppy Sands]] of the [[Beach]] world, where they are widespread. They continue to appear in other levels of the Beach world, as well as in [[Tippy Shippy]] and [[Five Monkey Trial]].
