Squishy is among the oldest and most ubiquitous enemies of the 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 appears to be a white squid with two thin, vertical lines resembling its eyes. It can operate both on land and in 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.

Game appearances

This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible. Reason: canvas curse section

Kirby's Dream Land

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

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.

Locations

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) 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 is in there, the Squishy Squid 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

Squishy appears as a common enemy in Kirby's Dream Course. It does not provide any ability when defeated, and always remains stationary. In this game, it functions the exactly the same as Kabu, Broomhatter, and Waddle Dee.

Role in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

Squishy Screenshot of Squishy from Dedede's Raw Deal Details Debut episode Dedede's Raw Deal Ability granted Spark Similar entities Master Green, Octacon

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 as a sushi topping). It is sent to attack Kirby after he eats a 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".

Trivia

• Squishys bear a resemblance to the Blooper, a squid-like enemy from the Mario franchise. They are similar in both attack patterns and appearance.
