Moto Shotzo[from internal data] is an enemy appearing in Kirby Super Star and its remake. It possesses a spherical body with a white upper half that has a cannon attached to it, while four dark, round spheres are affixed to its orange bottom half for support.

Although its name contains Shotzo, the enemy does not resemble a traditional Shotzo much in behaviTemplate:Or apart from its ability to fire cannonballs, primarily due to being mobile and destructible. Inhaling and swallowing a Moto Shotzo does not grant Kirby any Copy Ability.
