Gushens are purple flapjack octopus-like creatures encased in balls of water found in the Seaside Kingdom of Super Mario Odyssey. They are normally found floating on the surface of the water in their water balls, occasionally making large vertical leaps. However, when Mario approaches, they shoot a powerful stream of water from their undersides.[1] If Mario captures one, he can use it to fly. The result is similar to F.L.U.D.D.'s hover nozzle, in that it propels Mario upwards for a limited time before needing refilled, although the height he travels is more akin to the rocket nozzle. Mollusque-Lanceur, the boss of the Seaside Kingdom, resembles a Gushen in that he's a purple octopus, but it is unknown if there is any actual relation.
Trivia
- The part of the body that Gushens shoot water on would be the mouth on a real octopus; however, Gushen appear to have yellow mouths on their front.
- Real cephalopods indeed shoot water from their bodies to move; however, these are from funnels higher up on the body, not the mouths.
