Viruses appear as enemies at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. They appear in all three colors and attack in groups | Viruses appear as enemies at [[Woohoo Hooniversity]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]''. They appear in all three colors and attack in groups. When hit by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], they will change into a different color. When a red virus is hit, it will become a blue virus; when a blue virus is hit, it will become a yellow virus; and when a yellow virus is hit, it will become a red virus. Once all viruses in-battle match in color, they will be instantly destroyed, which is a callback to how they were destroyed in ''Dr. Mario''. Additionally in the remake, when three of them are defeated at once, a small portion of the "Fever" theme plays as well. Viruses attack by charging at Mario or Luigi and chewing on their heads, which can be countered by using the [[hammer]]. Sometimes when a brother fails to counter this attack, he will be [[Poison (status effect)|poisoned]]. Each color has different stats; for example, red viruses have the highest [[Power|POW]] and lowest [[Defense|DEF]]. Additionally, [[Thunderhand|thunder]][[Thunder Bros.|-based]] and [[Firebrand|fire]][[Fire Bros. (move)|-based]] attacks will do critical damage to red and blue viruses, respectively, though a yellow virus will be healed when hit with either element. When using an Advanced [[Swing Bros.]] attack against a yellow virus or defeating it with the [[Game Boy Horror SP]] equipped, it will drop a [[Steady Badge]]. | ||
