Mariner

Mariner appeared in 2010 video game called Kirby's Epic Yarn. Mariners are enemies in Kirby's Epic Yarn and its remake, Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, and are the seafaring counterparts of the soldier enemies. They only appear in Boom Boatyard.

Mariners look identical to soldiers; the only difference between the two is their colors. Soldiers have red heads and eyes with black bodies, while mariners have blue heads and eyes with light gray bodies. There are four different types of mariner: Sword Mariner, Spear Mariner, Cannon Mariner, and Whistle Mariner. A giant Cannon Mariner named Blast Mariner appears at the end of the level as a mid-boss.

Like soldiers, mariners are controlled by Yin-Yarn.
