'''Sluggy the Unshaven'''<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20030402151900/http://www.nintendo.com/games/gamepage/artwork.jsp?gameId=1282</ref> is a massive [[Sluggy]] found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. It is a mid-boss encountered in the fort of [[World 5 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 5]]. It is a see-through slug with a face, hair in various places and a visible, and hairy, heart. To defeat it, the [[Yellow Yoshi]] has to throw [[Egg|eggs]] at its heart, pushing through its gelatinous skin. It was originally a tiny, nontransparent version of itself, until [[Kamek]] used his magic on it.

Like regular Sluggies, Sluggy the Unshaven sports eyelashes in his official artwork, but lacks them in-game. Unlike his smaller counterparts, however, this is not attributable to graphical limitations on account of his large size.

Sluggy is incapable of knocking [[Baby Mario]] off Yoshi's back, making this the only boss fight where [[Star (Yoshi's Island series)|Stars]] cannot be lost. However, it continuously slides forward toward the edge of the room making it necessary to defeat it before it pushes Yoshi off the stage into the [[pit]].

Sluggy the Unshaven is a massive Sluggy found in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He is a mid-boss encountered in the fort of World 5. He is a see-through slug with a face, hair in various places and a visible, and hairy, heart. He was originally a tiny, nontransparent Sluggy until Kamek used his magic on him. The hair growing his heart is likely a reference to the Japanese idiom「心臓に毛が生えている」(shinzō ni ke ga haeteiru), which literally translates to "hair growing from the heart" and figuratively means "to be shameless". Like regular Sluggies, Sluggy the Unshaven sports eyelashes in his official artwork, but lacks them in-game. Unlike his smaller counterparts, however, this is not attributable to graphical limitations on account of his large size.

In gameplay, Sluggy can be attacked from Yellow Yoshi throwing eggs at his heart, pushing through his gelatinous skin. In Sluggy's open-air room is an Egg Plant. However, he is at the very edge of the room. Once Yoshi has collected enough eggs, the player must lob eggs at the slug's skin. Every time an egg hits the skin, he is pushed inward and the egg bounces off. Yoshi can then pick up the egg and lob it again. Once the skin is pushed back enough, Yoshi can shoot Sluggy's heart (which is the slug's weak point). With each hit, Sluggy's heart beats faster. After four hits, the heart shrinks until it pops, and Sluggy the Unshaven's body slides off the stage. Sluggy is incapable of knocking Baby Mario off Yoshi's back; this the only boss fight where stars cannot be lost. According to the Player's Guides, Sluggy the Unshaven does not actually mean any harm.[1][2] Sluggy continuously slides forward toward the edge of the room, so it is necessary to defeat Sluggy before he pushes Yoshi into the pit. Much like Froggy and Naval Piranha, it is possible to see the boss before Kamek magically alters him. However, the player cannot destroy Sluggy before Kamek appears, like they can with Naval Piranha.
