Shotzos make their debut 3D appearance in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. These cannon-like enemies situate themselves within drop-holes, areas of low terrain, and interestingly, even exist as part of the background in few select stages, shooting small bullets at Kirby from afar. Regardless of location, these enemies cannot be defeated or ingested, and thus must be avoided if Kirby is to escape injury-free. A wall-mounted version of this standard foe, the [[Wall Shotzo]], also appears. | Shotzos make their debut 3D appearance in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''.
