In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Flurries are enemies that run along the ice chasing after [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], or [[Toad]]. Like them, they have poor traction on the ice and can slip off of the platform they're on. They only appear in [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]]. In the rare instances that they can be led onto non-icy surfaces, such as the bottom of the second tower in [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-3]], they have perfect traction. In the NES version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Flurries are entirely white, while in the SNES version and other subsequent remakes, they are tinted pink and have blue feet.

Flurries[1] (singular Flurry; occasionally pluralized Flurrys[2]) are snowman-like creatures that first appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2 as enemies and soldiers of the 8 bits. They are named after flurries, which are brief periods of snowfall.

History

Super Mario series

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2

Flurry from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic Hisshō Kōryakuhō
Original design of a Flurry in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic Hisshō Kōryakuhō

In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, Flurries are enemies that run along the ice chasing after Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad. Like them, they have poor traction on the ice and can slip off of the platform they're on. They only appear in World 4. In the rare instances that they can be led onto non-icy surfaces, such as the bottom of the second tower in World 4-3, they have perfect traction. In original releases, Flurries are entirely white, while in the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance remakes, they are tinted pink and have blue feet.

BS Super Mario USA

In BS Super Mario USA, Flurries make their return and play the same role as in the predecessor. They only appear in the third broadcast, which is also Subcon's icy area.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

Flurries make an appearance in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. They only appear in the World-e level Treacherous Halls. There are two of them, one of which can help Mario or Luigi pass through the spiky path via standing on their heads, and get a 1-Up Mushroom and/or an Advance Coin. These Flurries have poor traction no matter what surface they are on.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

“It's them! Princess Toadstool and those two faucet freaks. C'mon, Flaky. Let's tell King Koopa so we can put 'em on ice for good.”
Flurry, "The Bird! The Bird!"

Some Flurries occasionally appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, where they spoke, despite not having visible mouths. Due to Wart not appearing on the show, they work for King Koopa here, and one (Flaky) even had a name. Staying true to the spirit of the games, Flurries appeared only in episodes that are set in snowy environments: the Land of Ice in "The Bird! The Bird!", the North Pole from "Koopa Klaus", and the Thirteen Mushroom Colonies in "The Koopas are Coming! The Koopas are Coming!" Unlike in the game, some of them have arms.

Super Mario Adventures

A Flurry, alongside a Shy Guy and Snifit, attends Bowser's wedding to Princess Peach in the Super Mario Adventures comic.

A cute snowman

The snowman appears in the icy world of Mario USA. He just runs into you at high speed, but the icy surface is slippery underneath, so it's quite a challenge. His American name is Flurry.

Trivia

  • Despite being an enemy in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, Flurry did not receive artwork in the manual until Super Mario Bros. 2.[3] This is also the case for Tweeter and Spark.
  • Flurry bears resemblance to Yuki, a mid-boss from Kirby's Dream Land 3, as they both are short, stubby snowmen without mouths or arms, have two small black eyes, and have similar body shapes, though Yuki lacks feet.
