Salvo the Slime also makes two appearances in [[Tap-Tap The Red Nose]]'s fort. After the player defeats Salvo in Tap-Tap The Red Nose's fort, they will get a key. Unlike the prior boss fight, Salvo can disguise himself as a box. Another difference is that when an egg hits him [[Slime Drop|Lemon Drops]] won't come out of him.
