The Virus is an enemy who appear in Mega Mabobo. They hail from Dr. Mario.
Origin[]
A Virus is a germ-based enemy found in the Dr. Mario puzzle series who first appeared in the 1990 NES game with the same name. They often appear in three colors and types, which are blue, red, and yellow respectively. Each of them individually have their own type of side effects, which are chill (blue), fever (red), and weird (yellow) respectively.
In The Game[]
The face of a small blue Virus appears above a pill in Abobo's inventory in a cutscene in Zeldabobo.
The blue, red, and yellow Virus types appear as both enemies and obstacles in Mega Mabobo. They're shot out of Crankys, individually (due to there being three Virus types), and will explode upon hitting any walls. Abobo, even though he can shoot them, can't damage any of the three Viruses, making them undefeatable as they lack a health bar with a name and mugshot. They'll also explode if Abobo is hit by them.
An individual blue Virus later appears as one of the various NES characters that is vomited out of Kirby's mouth after he is defeated in Contrabobo.
