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 first appear in ''Super Mario Galaxy'', usually appearing in groups of three to five.

Slurples[1] are parasitic alien 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. Their behavior is similar to the Mini Goombas in Super Mario Bros. 3, which are instead treated as full-sized attacking enemies in the games where Slurples appear.
History[edit]
Super Mario Galaxy[edit]
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 boulders. Slurples appear primarily in organic galaxies with a large amount of greenery.
An unused purple variant of Slurple is located in the files of Super Mario Galaxy, under the name KariKari.[2] Its name resembles Karikari, an enemy from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, on which the developers previously worked.
