'''Squid Shots'''<ref>"Critters 2 Gallery" in the "Extras" section of ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.</ref><ref>"Round, turretlike structures called '''Squid Shots''' fire both of these enemies." &ndash; Michael Knight, ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide. Page 26</ref> are wooden turret machines appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its port, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They are short, cylindrical, have two built-in cannons on opposing sides, and are covered in starfishes and shells. They use [[Squidly]]s and sometimes [[Electrasquid]]s as projectiles, and their firing line is always straight. A Squid Shot may have its own shooting pattern, sometimes depending on its position; some Squid Shots can be found stacked on top of each other. Squid Shots themselves are not harmful and can be stood on as on a solid platform, but are indestructible. They behave similar to [[Bill Blaster]]s.

In-game, Squid Shots will fire squiddlys or electrasquids depending on which way the squid’s eyes are pointing. If the squid’s eyes are pointing to the left, a squid will be shot to the left, if the eyes are pointing to the right, that’s good will be shot to the right. if the eyes are pointing forward, squids will be shot out of each side.
In-game, each Squid Shot is operated by a creature taking shelter inside the machine. Only its eyes can be seen as it looks through a hatch on the front of the Squid Shot. The direction its eyes are facing determines the direction it fires Squidlys/Electrasquids; if it is looking straight, it fires in both directions. However, the concept artwork depicts a Squid Shot being manned by a crab-looking creature.


Squid Shots debut in the level [[Sloppy Sands]] of the [[Beach]] world, where they are widespread. They continue to appear in other levels of the Beach world, as well as in [[Tippy Shippy]] and [[Five Monkey Trial]].
