'''Squishy''' is one of the oldest and most recurring [[Enemy|enemies]] of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], making its first appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', the first game of the series, and appearing in most main series titles since then. Squishy's classic look is of a white squid with two thin eyes, though in more recent titles, it has gained more distinguishing features, including a cream body color and blue spots on its head. It can operate both on land and in [[Water (environment)|water]], as well as occasionally fly through the air. On land, it usually jumps or waddles about, attempting to collide with [[Kirby]]. In the water, it will swim in bursts, rather than at a continuous pace. It does not yield any [[Copy Ability]] when swallowed.

Sometimes, Squishy is replaced by a more formidable enemy that mimics its behavior, called [[Flotzo]]. This is the case in [[Extra Game]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', and in [[Revenge of the King]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. In earlier titles, Squishy could be seen swimming in water or flying through the air. Starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', however, these enemies became strictly aquatic swimmers, and are no longer able to fly, instead becoming grounded if found outside of water.

===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
[[File:KDL Squishy sprite.png]]
Squishy makes its debut appearance in the very first ''Kirby'' game. Here, it can be found in the [[Float Islands]] stage, where it can be seen swimming through water, jumping out of water, and floating through the air. Subsequent titles would remove Squishy's ability to fly through the air like this.

Squishy is worth 400 points when defeated. In the [[Extra Game]], it is replaced by [[Flotzo]].

===''Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''===
[[File:KA Rainbow Resort Stage 6 screenshot 05.png|thumb|200px|Kirby leaping past a Squishy in ''Kirby's Adventure''.]]
[[File:KA Squishy sprite.png]] [[File:KNiDL Squishy sprite.png]]
Squishy returns in this title and its remake, serving as an amphibious foe who is just as at home on land as in the water. It retains its ability to leap, and can waddle around on dry land as quickly as a [[Waddle Dee]].

Squishy is a comparatively rare enemy in ''Kirby's Adventure'' and ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', appearing in only a few stages. Strangely enough, it is not found anywhere in [[Ice Cream Island]] or [[Orange Ocean]], despite being an aquatic foe who would be at home in those levels. Squishy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===
Squishy (known here as '''Squishy Squid'''<ref>Name taken from ''Kirby's Pinball Land'' Instruction Booklet (American release), Page 14</ref>) makes an appearance in [[Poppy Brothers' Land]]. It initially appears inside a thought cloud of one of the Kirbys on the board. If the Kirby is hit while Squishy Squid is in there, it will be released into the middle of the board, where it can help Kirby reach the higher board.

Squishy Squid also makes an appearance in the mini-game of the same board, as the goalie on a soccer field. Kirby's job here is to try and get past the squid and into the goal. If the squid catches Kirby, it will throw him back toward the bottom of the board.

===''Kirby's Dream Course''===
[[File:KDC Course 2 Hole 7 screenshot 01.png|thumb|200px|Kirby aiming for a Squishy in ''Kirby's Dream Course''.]]
[[File:KDCSquishy.png]]
Squishy appears as a common enemy in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]''. It does not provide any ability when defeated, and always remains stationary, like many other enemies in the game. In this game, it functions the exactly the same as [[Kabu]], [[Broom Hatter|Broomhatter]], and [[Waddle Dee]].

In ''Kirby's Dream Course'', Squishy can be found in the following courses:

{{Quote|An eight-tentacled boss who is the master of meddling, Squishy is also quite an accomplished Avalanche player.|''Kirby's Avalanche'' Instruction Booklet (North American print), page 22}}
[[File:KAv Squishy cutscene sprite.png]] Squishy appears as the opponent of Stage 5 in this game. It plays by attempting to line up blobs such that they string together in fours, creating chains of eight total. His equivalent in the ''Puyo Puyo'' franchise is Sasori Man.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
[[File:KDL2 Squishy sprite.png]]
Squishy appears in this game, occupying the same role that it did in previous main-series titles. It is once again just as at home on land as it is in water.

Squishy can be found in the following levels and stages:

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
[[File:Squishy CardSwipe KSSU.png|thumb|right|[[Kirby Card Swipe]]]]
[[File:KSS Squishy.png]] [[File:KSSU Squishy Sprite.png]] Squishy returns in both of these games as a common enemy, largely unchanged in basic look and behavior from its previous appearances.

In ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'''s [[Revenge of the King]], Squishy is replaced with a similar enemy called [[Flotzo]]. Squishy also appears on a card in [[Kirby Card Swipe]].

Squishy can be found in the following places in ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'':

===''Kirby's Star Stacker'' (Super Famicom)===
In the Super Famicom version of [[Kirby's Star Stacker (Super Famicom)|''Kirby's Star Stacker'']], Squishy is briefly seen in the cutscene during King Dedede's defeat. As Dedede is launched out of his castle, Squishy is watching from the ocean, holding a white flag.

===''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''===
[[File:KTnT Level 3-3 5.png|thumb|Kirby approaching a Squishy using a raft in ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''.]]
[[File:KTnT Squishy.png]]
Squishy makes an appearance in ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]''. Since there are no "underwater" sections in this game, Squishy instead attacks by popping out of opaque water pools to try and ambush Kirby. It usually either sits in place or will charge forward, but can be easily defeated by ramming it with a burst of speed from the [[raft]].

In ''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble'', Squishy can be found only in [[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble - Lvl 3-3|Lvl 3-3]].

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
[[File:KaTAMSquishy.png]]
Squishy returns in this title, bearing its behavior (though with a slightly changed color) from ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''. There is only one Squishy in the entire game, however, appearing in [[Moonlight Mansion - Room 17]]. Kirby must swim and stay afloat in a certain region underwater, and that Squishy will slowly swim up.

===''Kirby: Canvas Curse''===
[[File:KCC Squishy sprite.png]]
Squishy appears as a somewhat common enemy in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', usually found in water. It has the same look and behavior as it always has.

In ''Kirby: Canvas Curse'', Squishy appears in the following locations:

===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
Squishy appears in the ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' [[Sub-Game]] [[Kirby Quest]], showing up as an opponent along with [[Flotzo]] and [[Sweet Stuff]] in Stages 23 and 33. It has 80 HP.

In the main Story Mode, there is an enemy that is very similar to Squishy called [[Squister]]. These two are not to be confused with each other.

===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''===
[[File:KRtDL Squishy.jpg|thumb|100px|Squishy in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'']]
Squishy makes its first appearance in 3D in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. From this game onward, Squishy returns to having a yellow-ish tint as in ''Kirby's Dream Course'' and ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' and now has blue dots on the top of its head. In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', Squishy's yellow coloration is more prominent.

In ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' Squishy can be found in the following levels and stages:
{{Appearances-KRtDL|OO1=y|OO2=y|OO3=y|OO4=y|WW3=y|EE4=y|DD2=y}}
{{Appearances-KRtDLD-Epilogue|3-4=y}}

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' & ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
[[File:KPR Squishy.png|thumb|right|From ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'']]
Squishy remains the same as in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', except now it has the ability to jump between the foreground and background, and its yellow color is slightly more vibrant.

In ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' Squishy can be found in the following levels and stages:

Squishy appears in this title as a common enemy. It can be seen holding still, waddling about, or jumping in great leaps. It is worth 100 points when defeated solo, with multiples of that awarded for appropriate combos.

}}
Squishy appears as a [[monster]] in the episode [[Dedede's Raw Deal]]. Here, it is much larger than its video game counterpart (although it initially appears in its original design as a sushi topping). It is sent to attack Kirby after he eats a [[Mint Leaf|sweet potato]], which gives him the hiccups and makes him unable to [[inhale]], and thus unable to fight back properly. Squishy attacks Kirby by grabbing him with its tentacles and throwing him around. It can also shoot balls of lightning at him, which makes it similar to [[Master Green]] in this appearance. Lastly, Squishy has the ability to fly through the air, though this ability is not used until it tries to flee.

After Kirby is scared by [[Tiff]] out of his hiccups, he is able to inhale one of these lightning shots to gain the [[Spark]] [[Copy Ability]]. Using this, Kirby deals a rapid volley of electric blasts which defeats Squishy, turning it into many cuts of calamari that rain down onto the ground. In the Japanese version, Squishy is capable of speech, though it mainly just repeats the phrase (translated) "Squid Spark".
