Character Sheet: Flurry

FLURRY

Now, we have finished the television series, and we have SO many characters to cover, from all across the spectrum. There are a few characters here and there that might get a few upgrades to their movesets, mostly being the Donkey Kong cast (one example, I think Klump should absolutely have a Klaptrap gun now). But, there are so many that are so distinct from their game counterparts, I could only make a brand new slot for them. They are:

Not to be confused with the Paper Mario character of a similar name. The Flurries are another race of otherwise innocuous Super Mario Bros. 2 enemies that pretty much would never have gotten in were it not for their role in the Super Mario Bros. Super Show! They are basically the snow enemies of Super Mario Bros. 2, though with different enough abilities from Mr. Blizzard to not be conflated with them. Hmm, what's with the surprise ice enemies lately?

Now, in the original game, the Flurries just kind of slid around on the ice and nothing else. In the show, however, they appear regularly in any snow-themed episode, and can ski, ice skate, use ice wands to freeze people in blocks of ice, use skates to carve up a block of ice and send it forward, and whip up flurries of snow. A lot of fairly basic stuff, but unique enough for me!

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Ice Block

Based on the move that pretty much clinched it for me in the show, the Flurry will skate around really face, carving up an ice block that will rise from the ground and slide forward across the stage.

Side B: Ice Wand

This is based on the ice wands used by Koopa and his forces in one episode featuring the Flurries. They will cast a spell with the wand, and anyone it hits will be frozen solid in a block of ice.

Up B: Ski Jump

This is more based on them skiing in general. Basically, the move will function similarly to Squirtle's Up B, except he will ride a ski jump up on a pair of skis before launching into the air for a small distance.

Down B: Snowdrift

Based upon moves used by them and Toad while snowboarding, the Flurry will skate forward quickly, come to a screeching stop, and toss up a bunch of thick snow to bury an opponent.

Final Smash: Fryguy

Since he did not make it in, and in game, he is the boss of the snow level, I figure it's fitting to include him here. Fryguy will appear on the stage, making things incredibly hot, and then will start spewing flames everywhere.

Entrance: The Flurry will skate gently onto the stage and stop.

Taunts: Up, the Flurry will do a skating twirl like you'd see in a competition. Side, the Flurry will skate side to side for a second. Down, the Flurry will cower for a second as a strong winter wind blows.

Thanks for reading! Next up, let's cover Rex, another lesser known enemy, this time from Super Mario World!
