A '''Cursya''' is an enemy from the game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It resembles seven tall green blobs with eyes, and two flexing protrusions on both sides that appear to be hands or claws. Switching to 3-D however, Cursyas are revealed to be made of thin, spinning disks. Touching one results in the player being cursed, and their name is even a portmanteau of ''curse'' and ''you''. The different types of Cursya each place a different curse on the heroes, though [[Piccolo]] can instantly remove any of these status-changing curses. Cursyas also come in Dark varieties in every kind except the Back Cursya. Since all Cursyas look the same except for color, the Dark varieties make it impossible to tell which Cursya is which.
