In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Flurries are enemies that run along the ice chasing after [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], or [[Toad]]. Like them, they have poor traction on the ice and can slip off of the platform they're on. They only appear in [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4]]. In the rare instances that they can be led onto non-icy surfaces, such as the bottom of the second tower in [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-3]], they have perfect traction. In the NES version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Flurries are white (left image), while in the SNES version and other subsequent remakes, they are pink and have blue feet (middle and right images).

Flurries are enemies in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. They run along the ice chasing after Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Toad. Like them, they have poor traction on the ice and can slip off of the platform they are on. They only appear in World 4. In the rare instances that they can be led onto non-icy surfaces, such as the bottom of the second tower in World 4-3, they have perfect traction. In original releases, Flurries are entirely white, while in the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance remakes, they are tinted pink and have blue feet.

BS Super Mario USA[edit]

Flurries are enemies in BS Super Mario USA. They make their return and play the same role as in the predecessor. They only appear in the third broadcast, which is also Subcon's icy area.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Flurries are enemies in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. They are encountered only in the World-e level Treacherous Halls. Two Flurries appear, and they are shown with the ability to pass over spikes harmlessly. Other than this, Flurries are the same as in their debut appearance.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

“It's them! Princess Toadstool and those two faucet freaks. C'mon, Flaky. Let's tell King Koopa so we can put 'em on ice for good.”

Due to Wart not appearing on the show, they work for King Koopa here, and one (Flaky) even had a name. Staying true to the spirit of the games, Flurries appeared only in episodes that are set in snowy environments: the Land of Ice in "The Bird! The Bird!", the North Pole from "Koopa Klaus", and the Thirteen Mushroom Colonies in "The Koopas are Coming! The Koopas are Coming!" Unlike in the game, some of them have arms.
