'''Slurples'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 29.</ref> are small creatures in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Slurples have light blue skin, big eyes, and snouts. They move by bouncing and will attack by latching on to [[Mario]] and draining health from him, like [[Kamikami]]. In addition to damage, Mario's movement speed is slowed while a Slurple is attached to him. They can be defeated with a [[spin]] or a flung [[Star Bit]]. If hit with a Star Bit, they will yield three additional Star Bits, while they will only yield one if spun. They can also be defeated by obstacles such as [[boulder]]s.
