A '''virus''' is a germ-based enemy found in the ''[[Dr. Mario (series)|Dr. Mario]]'' series. Viruses most often appear in three colors – '''Red''', '''Blue''', and '''Yellow''' – however, in later games in the series including ''[[Dr. Luigi]]'' and ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', a larger variety of colors and types are present. To defeat a virus, usually [[Dr. Mario]] must line up three [[Capsule]] pieces of the same color next to the virus of that color. The virus, along with the capsules, will then disappear. In most ''Dr. Mario'' games, after clearing one jar of viruses, Dr. Mario will move to the next one, with each jar containing increasingly more viruses. | A '''virus''' is a germ-based enemy found in the ''[[Dr. Mario (series)|Dr. Mario]]'' series.

Viruses first appeared in | Viruses first appeared in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and [[Game Boy]] game ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'', where they are small germs that Dr. Mario must eliminate. To do this, he uses vitamin capsules, which can come in combinations of their colors (red, blue, and yellow), four of these capsule pieces must be stacked on top of a virus of the same color to eliminate it. As the difficulty increases, the number of viruses will also increase. | ||
In the [[Game Boy]] version, due to the system being incapable of displaying bright colors, viruses appear in black, white, and gray. The black virus resembles the red virus, the gray virus resembles the blue virus and the white virus resembles the yellow virus. Because the simple monochrome display of the Game Boy is only able to show a few shades of gray, the black and gray viruses lack the black sclera that the red and blue viruses had, and hence look marginally different. In the high-level ending, the viruses are seen on a tree before being beamed up by a UFO. | |||
They are found in the remakes ''[[Tetris & Dr. Mario]]'' and ''[[Dr. Mario & Puzzle League]]'' for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] respectively. | |||

The Viruses reappeared in the ''Dr. Mario'' game (a close remake of ''Dr. Mario 64'') of ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]''. | |||

The standard three viruses returned in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', along with four new green, purple, light-blue, and pink viruses. The three classic viruses also received a new design reminiscent of their in-game appearance from ''Dr. Mario'', and were prominently featured in the promotional video series for the game, ''[[Virus Vid]]''. Although there were seven types of viruses, they did not appear in all stages. In the regular stages, three out of red, blue, yellow, green and light-blue would appear throughout that World. Pink viruses exclusively appeared in challenge stages and special stages. Purple viruses were absent in stages and only appeared on the world map. | The standard three viruses returned in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'', along with four new green, purple, light-blue, and pink viruses.

Unlike the other ''Dr. Mario'' games where a match of four in a row or column involving capsules are required to eliminate them, the viruses in this game required a capsule match of three in a row or column to eliminate (such as two viruses and one capsule piece of matching color). | ||

Viruses commonly appear as collectible items in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a Red, a Blue, and a Yellow Virus are all featured together within a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be obtained when it appears at random in one of the game's single-player modes. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a Blue Virus, a Red Virus, and a Yellow Virus each have their own [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]]: the Blue Virus sticker boosts electric attacks by five points; the Red Virus sticker boosts fire-based attacks by twenty points; and the Yellow Virus sticker increases the amount of [[smashwiki:Damage|damage]] recovered after eating [[food]] by 4 points. All three stickers can be used by any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] by any fighter. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', there is a randomly obtainable trophy of all three Viruses, similarly to ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Viruses all appear as an Advanced-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] that occupies one support slot, and reduces the damage taken from poison-based attacks when used. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is encountered on the [[smashwiki:Light Realm|Light Realm]] map, near Riki's Dojo. The spirit's [[smashwiki:False character|puppet fighters]] are three [[Kirby]]s, each colored after one of the viruses, and the battle takes place on the [[smashwiki:Battlefield form|Battlefield form]] version of the [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros.]] stage. | |||

In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', one of [[9-Volt]]'s [[microgame]]s called [[Dr. Mario (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Dr. Mario]] is based on the game ''Dr. Mario'', and the player must defeat the viruses using capsules, just like in the game. There is also a minigame in the same game called [[Dr. Wario]], which is a Wario version of ''Dr. Mario'', where the viruses look different. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' in the microgame [[Weird Science]], a blue virus makes an appearance. ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' features another Dr. Mario microgame [[Dr. Mario (WarioWare Gold)|under the same name]], where the player must tilt the game system to defeat a row of three Viruses. | |||

They appear in all three colors and attack in groups. When hit by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], they will change into a different color. When a red virus is hit, it will become a blue virus; when a blue virus is hit, it will become a yellow virus; and when a yellow virus is hit, it will become a red virus. Once all viruses in-battle match in color, they will be instantly destroyed, which is a callback to how they were destroyed in ''Dr. Mario''. Additionally in the remake, when three of them are defeated at once, a small portion of the "Fever" theme plays as well. Viruses attack by charging at Mario or Luigi and chewing on their heads, which can be countered by using the [[hammer]]. Sometimes when a brother fails to counter this attack, he will be [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]]. Each color has different stats; for example, red viruses have the highest [[Power|POW]] and lowest [[Defense|DEF]]. Additionally, [[Thunderhand|thunder]][[Thunder Bros.|-based]] and [[Firebrand|fire]][[Fire Bros. (move)|-based]] attacks will do critical damage to red and blue viruses, respectively, though a yellow virus will be healed when hit with either element. When using an Advanced [[Swing Bros.]] attack against a yellow virus or defeating it with the [[Game Boy Horror SP]] equipped, it will drop a [[Steady Badge]]. | ||

Viruses appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' as enemies | Viruses appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' as enemies during the [[Ultibed]] part hunt. In the field, viruses chase Mario and Luigi upon sight. Viruses also change color whenever they are damaged (with the exception of counter-attacks); much like how they did in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. The pattern they go in is from blue to yellow to red and back to blue again, repeating itself. The player can connect three or more of the same color to make them disappear, defeating the connected viruses instantly, also like in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. If a virus is defeated, the ones behind it will move forward to the front if possible. They always appear in a group of 16, which is the most enemies seen in a battle in the real world. They are also one of the very few enemies who can inflict the [[Tiny (status effect)|Mini]] status on the Bros. which decreases their Attack and Defense and shrinks them. | ||
In the field, | |||
Viruses | Viruses may attack by forming two lines, one in the foreground and one in the background, and proceeding to move several steps in any direction each time. This can be dodged by jumping when appropriate. Viruses may also attack by circling the Bros. in a single file line, Mario and Luigi then having to hammer them all into a pile before they attack them after circling several times. If three of the same color land on the pile consecutively, they disappear like they would normally. If they are jumped on, they change color twice and if the hammer is used they will change color once. When combined with Mini and DEF-Down, the damage dealt by a virus to the Bro can easily turn into a one-hit KO (999+ damage) without enough points in Defense; this can essentially [[Game Over|end the game]] very quickly. Red viruses can inflict [[POW-Down]], yellow viruses can inflict [[DEF-Down]], and blue viruses can inflict [[SPD-Down]] | ||

Viruses are contagious, to the point that one of them can multiply to fill an entire glass jar within seconds. According to the Nintendo Comics system, each virus has unique abilities that correspond with their names: red viruses can manipulate heat, blue viruses can manipulate cold, and yellow viruses can transform people into different shapes and species, which is referred to as "weirdness". In the ''Mario and Luigi'' series, viruses are able to change their color when attacked, and are shown to wield spears. | Viruses are contagious, to the point that one of them can multiply to fill an entire glass jar within seconds.
