'''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.

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 ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. Upon entering the boss room, the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] witnesses a Lemon Drop be enlarged by Kamek, turning it into Salvo the Slime. 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 Lemon Drop prior to his transformation, Lemon Drops break off Salvo when he is hit by either an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] or a spat-out Lemon Drop. The more Salvo is hit, the smaller he gets, until he disappears altogether.

Salvo the Slime is a Lemon Drop that was enlarged by Kamek during the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake.

History[edit]

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

Artwork of Salvo the Slime from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Salvo the Slime in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Salvo the Slime is the boss of World 1 in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Upon entering the boss room, the Yoshi witnesses a Lemon Drop be enlarged by Kamek, turning it into Salvo the Slime. 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 Lemon Drop prior to his transformation, Lemon Drops break off Salvo when he is hit by either an egg or a spat-out Lemon Drop. 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. The Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Player's Guide considers this enemy to be Salvo the Slime.[1] This was changed in the Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 Player's Guide, where it is considered its own separate entity.[2]

In his artwork for Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Salvo is beige, while in-game, he is green. This artwork was slightly changed in Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, as his back is now light blue.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

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

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party 4[edit]

Four different beings of Salvo the Slime 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. Players must get away from them by pressing A Button as quickly as they can.

Mario Party Advance[edit]

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.
