Squid Shots[1][2] are wooden turret machines appearing in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D. They are short, cylindrical, have two built-in cannons on opposing sides, and are covered in starfishes and shells. They use Squidlys and sometimes Electrasquids 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 harmless and can be stood on like a solid platform, but they cannot be destroyed. They behave similarly to Bill Blasters.

In-game, each Squid Shot shoots in the direction the squid’s eyes inside are facing. For instance, if the squid’s eyes are looking to the left, it shoots to the left. If they are looking to the right, it shoots to the right. If they are looking straight, it fires in both directions.

Squid Shots first appear in the level Sloppy Sands, the second level 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 of the Cliff world and Five Monkey Trial, The temple level of the Volcano world.
