In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Shuries appear in many underwater levels, starting with [[Lockjaw's Locker (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lockjaw's Locker]]. There are two color variants, orange and pink, and they have slightly distinctive behavior. The orange Shuries spin through the water in diagonal lines and bounce off the walls. The pink Shuries await [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] in a corner, and when the [[Kong]]s approach a Pink Shuri, it spins in their direction. Like other enemies, if the lead Kong gets hit by a Shuri, they take damage. Like most aquatic foes, Shuries can only be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish]].


Shuries first appeared in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as semi-common enemies in the games various underwater levels. Shuries have two attack patterns, orange Shuries would wait for the Kongs to approach and then charge at them spinning rapidly while the pink variety will spin through the water attack anything that gets close. Shuries could only be defeated by [[Enguarde]] the Swordfish.
In the ending's Cast of Characters, Shuries appear under the [[Submerged Seadogs]] category.


Shuries also appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'s'' pseudo-sequel ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', here their attack pattern was the same.

Shuries make another reappearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Here they were rare enemies only encountered in a few of the games underwater areas, their attack pattern was also relatively the same as the orange variety. In this game Shuries cannot be defeated.
====''Donkey Kong 64''====
Shuries make another appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. They are uncommon enemies who are only encountered in a few underwater areas. Shuries are larger than in their previous appearances. Only the orange Shuries reappear, and they were made slightly larger. The Shuries retain their attack patterns from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. It is possible to defeat a Shuri using Oranges, but this can only be accomplished in one of [[Angry Aztec]]'s temples, and it does not yield any melon slices for doing so. No other attack works on it, not even Enguarde in [[Gloomy Galleon]].


Shuries also appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and its sequel, ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]'', where they attack the same way as in their first appearance.  
The game introduces a purple variant of Shuri in scuba gear, named [[Scubi]].


The name Shuri is possibly derived from the throwing weapon the '''shuri'''ken, which incidentally resembles a star.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Shuries appear in many underwater levels, starting with Lockjaw's Locker. There are two color variants, orange and pink, and they have slightly distinctive behavior. The orange Shuries spin through the water in diagonal lines and bounce off the walls. The pink Shuries await Diddy and Dixie Kong in a corner, and when the Kongs approach a Pink Shuri, it spins in their direction. Like other enemies, if the lead Kong gets hit by a Shuri, they take damage. Like most aquatic foes, Shuries can only be defeated by Enguarde the Swordfish.

In the ending's Cast of Characters, Shuries appear under the Submerged Seadogs category.
