Squishy

"An eight-armed Avalanche for you then, Kirby!"

- Squishy

Squishies are squid-like enemies that have been around since the first Kirby game. They are somewhat rare, swimming through the water every so often. Even rarer will they appear on land, walking towards Kirby.

Although Squishy is a regular enemy in most cases, Squishy actually appeared as the boss of a second level in Kirby's Block Ball. Here he was able to extend his tentacles, a technique which he would later use as a monster in the anime.

Physical Appearance
Squishy is a small white squid with small beady eyes and a total of eight slimy tentacles. The two tentacles on either of his sides are noticeably longer than the six at the bottom.

In the anime, Squishy's true from greatly resembles his appearance in the games, but is much larger. His tentacles are thicker and more muscular in this appearance, and is able to stretch them to grapple and hit his foes. As opposed to the small black eyes he has in the games, Squishy has glaring yellow eyes in this form. prior to the fight Squishy appears as a miniature version of his game design.

In the anime
Dedede starts up a small sushi restaurant in Cappy Town, but this really ends up being a ploy to defeat Kirby. Kirby ends up eating a small Sweet Potato, which prevents him from Inhaling and gives him a case of the hiccups. Kirby hiccups on a plate containing a small version of Squishy, causing it to grow into its true form. Strangely, in the anime Squishy has electrical based attacks, similar to Master Green from the games. After Squishy hits him around, Kirby is scared out of his hiccups, and able to inhale some of Squishy's sparks, making him Spark Kirby. After hurting Squishy with some spark attacks, Kirby blasts him into the air and unleashes one last huge spark attack. The mass of electricity collides with Squishy, destroying him and leaving Kirby with tons of sushi.
