Dōryī (generically referred to by Nintendo Power as flowers)[1] are enemies in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong. These plants are first encountered in Stage 2-3. Dōryī attack by shooting out seeds at regular intervals. A Dōryī does not damage Mario if he stands on it, but Dōryī cannot be defeated. Cannons in the Desert and Airplane are similar to Dōryī, but alternate between one and two shots, and a similar type of enemy appears in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Tane Pakkun.
