A '''Slime'''<ref name=Slime>{{cite|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide|date=2002|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=American English|page=106, 107, and 115|isbn=1-930206-25-9}}</ref> is a gooey creature that first appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its enhanced port ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''.

==History==
===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''===
[[File:SMW2 Slime block.png|frame|While disguised]]
Slimes appear in [[Tap-Tap The Red Nose's Fort]] and [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]], carrying [[key]]s. They are disguised as rectangular platforms until a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] touches them, which makes them morph into their true form. Like [[Salvo the Slime]] (who was actually a [[Slime Drop|Lemon Drop]] before [[Kamek]]'s transformation), they cannot directly harm [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]], but they can push them aside.

If a Slime is hit by [[Watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)|Watermelon]] seeds or an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]], it gets progressively smaller until it disappears; it will not spawn any Lemon Drops when damaged, however. The same effect happens to the Slime if it falls into a [[Spike Trap|spike]] or [[lava]] pit.

===''Yoshi's New Island''===
{{Multiframe|[[File:YNI Slime.png|80px]] [[File:YNI Slime block.png|80px]]|A Slime and its disguised form}}
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', a single Slime appears in a secret room in [[Spray Day Mayday]]. The room can be reached via a door that will spawn by hitting a hidden [[Winged Cloud]] above a large block resembling a disguised Slime. The room contains another such block and a few [[Coin]]s next to it; if Yoshi collects some of these Coins, the block beside will transform into a Slime and start attacking Yoshi as in its original appearances. The Slime can cause Yoshi to lose a life if it pushes him onto the spikes on the left. Defeating the Slime will cause a round of Coins (with several [[Red Coin]]s under disguise) and a [[Smiley Flower]] to appear.

==Trivia==
*The ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] considers this enemy to be Salvo the Slime.<ref>{{cite|quote='''''SLIMY KEY''' If you entered Door Two in King Bowser's Castle, you need to find a key to continue on your journey. The key is being held by Salvo the Slime, the guardian of the first world. Load up on eggs prior to entering Salvo's chamber. The slime surrenders after six hits.''|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|date=1995|language=American English|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=116}}</ref> This is changed in the ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide.<ref name=Slime/>
