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 - each color virus has different stats (e.g. Red Viruses have the highest [[Power|POW]] and lowest [[Defense|DEF]]).
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]].
 
Viruses attack by charging at Mario or Luigi and chewing on their heads, which may [[Poison (status effect)|poison]] them and can be countered by using the [[hammer]]. When hit by [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], they will change into a different color: a Red Virus that is hit will become a Blue Virus, a Blue Virus will become a Yellow Virus, and a Yellow Virus will become a Red Virus. If all Viruses in a battle have a matching color, they will be instantly defeated, as a callback to how they are beaten in ''Dr. Mario''. In ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions'', a small portion of the "Fever" theme plays when this occurs.  
 
The Red Virus takes critical damage from [[Thunderhand]] and [[Thunder Bros.]], while the Blue Virus takes critical damage from [[Firebrand]] and [[Fire Bros. (move)|Fire Bros.]], and the Yellow Virus is healed if hit with either element. If an Advanced [[Swing Bros.]] attack is used against a Yellow Virus, or it is defeated with the [[Game Boy Horror SP]] equipped, it will drop a [[Steady Badge]].
