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.


Shuries first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as semi-common enemies in the game's various underwater levels. Shuries have two attack patterns. Pink Shuries wait for the [[Kong]]s to approach and then charge at them while spinning rapidly. On the other hand, the orange variety spin through the water and bounce off walls, damaging anything that gets too close. Shuries can only be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish]].
==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]].


Shuries also appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'''s pseudo-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. In this game, their attack pattern is the same.
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
Shuries are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They can move in only straight lines, unlike before.


Shuries make another reappearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. In this game, Shuries are rare enemies only encountered in a few underwater areas. Their attack pattern is also similar to the orange variety of Shuri from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. Shuries cannot be defeated in ''Donkey Kong 64''.

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.  
===''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: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
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.
