'''Flurries''' (known as '''Nakabon''' in Japanese) are [[snowman]]-like creatures that appear in the icy regions of [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]] of [[Subcon]]. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' as enemies and soldiers of the [[8 bits]]. They are named after [[Wikipedia:Flurry|flurries]], which are brief periods of snowfall. They are the first [[Snowman]] species in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]].

==History==

===''Super Mario'' series===

====''Super Mario Bros. 2====

[[File:Flurry.gif|frame|left]]

In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Flurries are clumsy enemies that run along the ice chasing after [[Mario]]. In most cases, they are easy to avoid, since they have poor traction and can slip off of the platform they're on to their doom. They usually appear in groups in an attempt to corner Mario or any of his allies. They only appear in the [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]].

Interestingly, Flurries actually have perfect traction in the rare instances that they can be lead onto non-ice surfaces, in particular at the bottom of the second tower in World 4-3.

====''BS Super Mario USA====

In the direct sequel of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', Flurries make their return and play the same role as in the predecessor. They only appear in the third world of the game, which is also the icy land of Subcon itself.

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3====

Flurries make an appearance in the [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|remake]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' for [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]]. They appear in the accessible level [[Promo: Coro Coro Castle]] scanned by the [[e-Reader]]. 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 the [[Brick Block]] and/or the [[Advance Coin]]. These Flurries still move as if all surfaces are slippery ice blocks to them.

===''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, such as the [[Land of Ice]] from "[[The Bird! The Bird!]]" and the [[North Pole]] from "[[Koopa Klaus]]."

A Flurry, alongside a [[Shy Guy]] and [[Snifit]], attends Bowser's wedding to Princess Peach in the ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic.
