- This article is about the enemy from Wario Land 3. For the enemy from Super Mario Sunshine also known as Kuri, see Strollin' Stu.
Kuri are red creatures (described as "flaming enemies"[1]) from Wario Land 3. They resemble the edible portion of a real-life chestnut. Much like Goombas of the 2D Super Mario games, they always face the screen, with their walking animation being a mirrored image. Like Prickly Goombas, they pop out of spiked chestnut shells. However, they emerge on their own accord instead of waiting to be burnt. Kuri appear only during the battle against Wolfenboss. Wolfenboss will conjure up a chestnut (known as Igaguri) and drop it. Once the Kuri itself emerges from the Igaguri, it quickly paces back and forth. It deals no damage to Wario, but is capable of pushing Wario in its fast march which can knock him into one of Wolfenboss's projectiles. Wario can Dash Attack into a Kuri to send it flying, though jumping on a Kuri only causes it to change direction. Kuri can be destroyed with a Smash Attack. If a Kuri is hit by a Dash Attack at a certain angle, it will ricochet off of the walls while moving upward and hit Wolfenboss if aimed right. Hitting three Kuri into a Wolfenboss defeats him, but as the fight continues, the chestnut will bounce toward Wario before being ready to emerge, turning him into Puffy Wario if he touches it.
