'''Flurries'''<ref>Stratton, Bryan. ''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 49.</ref> (singular '''Flurry'''; occasionally pluralized '''Flurrys'''<ref>Stratton, Bryan. ''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 7.</ref>) 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 {{wp|flurry|flurries}}, which are brief periods of snowfall.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
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.

====''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!''===

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 [[Bowser|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.

==Trivia==
*Despite being an enemy in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', Flurry did not receive artwork in the manual until ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.<ref name=SMB2/> This is also the case for [[Tweeter]] and [[Spark]].
*Flurry bears resemblance to [[wikirby:Yuki|Yuki]], a mid-boss from ''[[wikirby:Kirby's Dream Land 3|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.
