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.
