Page 27.</ref> are squishy pink block-like enemies that appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Their name is a play on "blocker," referring to their shape and how they block the player, and "lurk."

+Blurkers can be temporarily disposed of by any normal means of attack except [[jump]]s, by striking a nearby [[gong]], or by use of the touchscreen and microphone functions on the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]], although they quickly respawn upon being defeated this way.

+Blurkers are also found in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', where they reappear in Shadow-Play Alley.
+Blurkers reappear in the game's [[Nintendo Switch]] enhanced port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''.
+Given their Japanese name of "Mokomoko," and how they appear in groups forming large walls, Blurkers were likely inspired by {{wp|Mokumokuren}}, a {{wp|yokai}} consisting of many pairs of eyes lined up across a decrepit {{wp|shoji|paper wall}}.
