{{quote|One...two... Yay! That's my second ploberty in this district!|Slime|''[[Fortune Street]]''}}
'''{{iw|dragonquest|Slime}}''' is a species, as well as a character, from the ''{{iw|dragonquest|Dragon Quest (series)|Dragon Quest}}'' series of games which is published by [[Square Enix]]. Slime appears as a playable character alongside ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' characters in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'', and ''[[Fortune Street]]''. Originating from the first ''{{iw|dragonquest|Dragon Quest}}'' game, the Slime has become the mascot for the ''Dragon Quest'' series, and is a fairly common, weak enemy in the games.

==History==
===''Captain N: The Game Master''===
[[File:SlimeCaptainN.png|thumb|left|Three Slimes from ''Captain N: The Game Master'']]
Some Slimes appear in the ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'' episode "The Trojan Dragon" to battle the N Team only to lose and drop two {{iw|dragonquest|gold}} coins each. The Slimes have a more menacing design than in the games and attack through spitting acidic slime. The sound effect used for their attack is [[Fire Mario]]'s use of [[fireball]]s.

===''Fortune Street'' series===
====''Itadaki Street DS''====
In ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'', Slime appears as a playable character. This game marks the first appearance of Slime alongside the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] characters. The '''Slime Mask''', '''Slime Suit''', and '''Slime Maracas''' are collectible items that can be equipped on customizable characters. The [[Healslime]], a subspecies to the Slimes also appearing in the ''Dragon Quest'' series, also appears in the game.

====''Fortune Street''====
In ''[[Fortune Street]]'', Slime along with other ''Dragon Quest'' characters return as playable characters. As in the predecessor ''Itadaki Street DS'', Slime is a default playable character. Slime's difficulty rating is D, meaning that it is easier to beat than most other characters in the game. In the [[Slurpodrome]], the players must choose one of five Slimes.

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
[[File:MSMart11.png|thumb|Slime and [[Ninja (character)|Ninja]] in ''Mario Sports Mix'']]
Slime reappears in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' for the [[Wii]] as an unlockable playable character. It is classified as a Tricky type character, and is the only character not originating from the ''Super Mario'' or ''Final Fantasy'' series as well as the only new character in the game (not counting [[Mii]]s). Slime's best stat is its power, while it suffers from weak speed and abysmal technique.

In Slime's special shot, it summons three other slimes, each one with a different color: pink, yellow, and green. The Slime is unlocked by winning 28 games. If players pick Slime 20 times in a sport, they unlock an alternate, orange version of Slime called She-Slime.  The alternate color can also be unlocked by clearing a certain mission on the Star Cup. Also, if players pick Slime 40 times in a sport or clear a certain mission on the Star Cup, they unlock an alternate, silver version of Slime called Metal Slime. 

On a side note, Slime is the only character who has their name changed when their alternate colors are chosen, and it is the only character to have two alternate colors.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
Slimes appear in the background of {{iw|smashwiki|Yggdrasil's Altar}}, a {{iw|smashwiki|Downloadable content (SSBU)#Stages|downloadable stage}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. On rare occasions, a Liquid Metal Slime may appear. Both types also appear as DLC [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirits]]. A [[List of Mii Headgear|Slime Hat]] appears as purchasable headgear that can be worn by any class of the [[Mii Fighter]]s.  Slimes additionally appear in [[Hero]]'s reveal trailer, one of his {{iw|smashwiki|Victory pose|victory animations}}, and his down taunt.
