Fortune Street[edit]
InFortune Street, Slime along with otherDragon Quest characters return as playable characters. As in the predecessorItadaki Street DS, Slime is a default playable character. Slime's difficulty rating is D, meaning that it is easier to beat than most other characters in the game. In theSlurpodrome, the players must choose one of five Slimes.
Mario Sports Mix[edit]
Slime reappears inMario Sports Mix for theWii as an unlockable playable character. It is classified as a Tricky type character, and is the only character not originating from theSuper Mario orFinal Fantasy series as well as the only new character in the game (not countingMiis). Slime's best stat is its power, while it suffers from weak speed and abysmal technique.
In Slime's special shot, it summons three other slimes, each one with a different color: pink, yellow, and green. The Slime is unlocked by winning 28 games. If players pick Slime 20 times in a sport, they unlock an alternate, orange version of Slime called She-Slime. The alternate color can also be unlocked by clearing a certain mission on the Star Cup. Also, if players pick Slime 40 times in a sport or clear a certain mission on the Star Cup, they unlock an alternate, silver version of Slime called Metal Slime.
On a side note, Slime is the only character who has their name changed when their alternate colors are chosen, and it is the only character to have two alternate colors.

Slimes appear in the background ofYggdrasil's Altar, adownloadable stage inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. On rare occasions, a Liquid Metal Slime may appear. Both types also appear as DLCspirits. ASlime Hat appears as purchasable headgear that can be worn by any class of theMii Fighters. Slimes additionally appear inHero's reveal trailer, one of hisvictory animations, and his down taunt.
