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 not harmful and can be stood on as on a solid platform, but are indestructible. They behave similar to Bill Blasters.
In-game, Squid Shots fire Squidlys or Electrasquids either left, right, or both directions depending on the direction the squid’s eyes inside are facing. if they 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 debut in the level Sloppy Sands 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 and Five Monkey Trial.
