During the events of the pursuit of Mad Scienstein by both Dr. Mario and Wario, Silky was happily crawling in the woods until both Mad Scienstein and Wario runs its way, frightening it into moving faster, though they runs past it, much to its relief. Dr. Mario runs up to Silky and waited behind it, who got a fright after seeing Dr. Mario behind it, initiating a battle. As an opponent in Vs. mode, Silky has the second-lowest AI level, tying with Appleby, Jellybob, and Octo.
