They serve as projectiles shot out of [[Squid Shot]]s and have a stronger relative species referred to as [[Electrasquid]]s. They move in a straight line in the direction the Squid Shot is pointing at. Although Squidlys move slowly through the air, they can harm the Kongs upon contact, similarly to [[Bullet Bill]]s from the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. Squidlys can be defeated by any of [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]]'s attacks, but they usually crash into a wall where they are destroyed.

They are squid-like torpedos that are indefinitely fired from [[Squid Shot]]s. Squidlys have an electrical variant named [[Electrasquid]].

+When fired out from a Squid Shot, Squidlys slowly move in a straight line, either left or right (depending on where the Kongs are located). Squidlys get destroyed once they hit a wall, or they damage [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]] upon contact. The [[Kong]]s can defeat a Squidly by jumping on them.
+Squidlys seem to have design origins from the {{wp|orthoceras}}, a {{wp|genus}} of extinct {{wp|cephalopod}}s with external shells and no feeding tentacles, similar to Squidly.
