'''Salvo the Slime''' is the boss of [[World 1 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 1]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|remake]]. Salvo is a [[Slime Drop|Lemon Drop]] that was enlarged by [[Kamek]]. Salvo jumps at the player, trying to push them into a [[lava]] pit below his arena, though unlike most enemies, the player is not hurt by Salvo's touch. Instead, Yoshi is hurt by the Lemon Drops that Salvo summons. Because Salvo was a Slime Drop prior to his transformation, Lemon Drops break off of Salvo when he is hit by an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]. The more Salvo is hit, the smaller he gets, until he disappears altogether.

An alternate variant of him appears later as a non-boss enemy in the game, known in English simply as [[Slime]]. It can disguise itself as a block, and is defeated the same way. Slimes appear again in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''.

Template:Quote2 Salvo the Slime is the boss of World 1 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. Salvo is a Lemon Drop that was enlarged by Kamek. Salvo jumps at the player, trying to push them into a lava pit below his arena, though unlike with most enemies, the player is not hurt by Salvo's touch. Instead, the Yoshi is hurt by the Lemon Drops that Salvo summons. Because Salvo was a Slime Drop prior to his transformation, Lemon Drops break off Salvo when he is hit by an egg. The more Salvo is hit, the smaller he gets, until he disappears altogether.

An alternate variant of him appears later as a non-boss enemy in the game, known in English simply as Slime. It can disguise itself as a block, and it is defeated the same way. Slimes appear again in Yoshi's New Island.

Four different Salvo the Slimes appear in Mario Party 4 under his Japanese name, Big Slime. During the minigame Slime Time, the four versions of him appear in yellow, pink, purple, and green.

Going only by his first name, Salvo makes an appearance as the boss of the second floor of the Duel Tower in Mario Party Advance. This game shows that he is capable of speech. Salvo challenges the player to a game of Volleybomb and rewards the player with the minigame upon defeat.

Salvo also makes a brief cameo alongside other Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island bosses in the opening to Yoshi's Island DS.

Profiles and statistics

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

  • Official Nintendo Player's Guide: Yoshi's last stop in World 1 is a castle, but the greeting he gets there isn't exactly chivalrous! Before checking out, Yoshi will have to cope with this enormously icky enemy. The slow-moving Salvo skedaddles faster and faster the more he's hit with dino eggs, but he also throws off lots of Lemon Drops. Besides tasting great, these make excellent eggs![1]
  • Shogakukan guide: プルプルしていて、ぶつかるとバネのようにはじかれる。タマゴを当てると小さなスライムに分裂する。[2] (It pulls and springs back when bumped into. When you hit it with an egg, it splits into smaller Slime Drops.)

Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3

  • Shogakukan guide: ワールド1-8のボス。ぶつかってもダメージは受けないが、バネのようにはじかれる。タマゴを当てると小さなスライムに分裂。何度か当てて倒そう。[3]

(The boss of World 1-8. You will not be damaged by bumping into it, but it will repel you like a spring. If you hit it with an egg, it splits into small Slime Drops. Hit it several times to defeat it.)
