Dōryī (generically referred to by Nintendo Power as flowers)[1] are enemies in the Game Boy version of Donkey Kong.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[edit]

These plants are first encountered in Stage 2-3. Dōryī attack by shooting out fireballs[2] at regular intervals. A Dōryī does not damage Mario if he stands on it, but Dōryī cannot be defeated. Cannons in the Desert and Airplane are similar to Dōryī, but alternate between one and two shots, and a similar type of enemy appears in Mario vs. Donkey Kong, Tane Pakkun.

Super Mario Kodansha manga[edit]

In the Super Mario Kodansha manga, Dōryī appear in the Donkey Kong adaptation.

In Super Mario: Donkey Kong 2, a Dōryī is seen with the other enemies building the Tower and attacking Mario and friends in chapter 2 until Monchee interveens; and in chapter 3 one is seen helping the Kongs fight the Kremling Krew, until DK and Donkey Kong Snr. are knocked out, causing the Kong army to retreat after the defeat of their leaders.
