She wears a white shirt with green at the collar and ends with longer black sleeves underneath alongside a rope necklace with green ring-shaped pendants, she has a thick rope of some kind with a white and purple pattern connecting from her shoulders to a big bow at her back. She also wears a black belt tied with a bow at the front and green yoga pants. Her shoes are black with a shade of purple at the front and white soles.

## History

**WARNING: This section contains major Adventure Mode spoilers! Proceed at your own risk.**

Guru Andma first appears in Dragaux Vs. the Four Masters and the last of the Four Masters met. She introduces herself shortly after Ring mistakes her for a ghost for the first time, when trying to think of a challenge, she instead comes to the conclusion that the Trainee has no issues with their balance, much to Ring's surprise. Guru Andma notices her disappointment and instead has the Trainee fight her pet exercise ball, a Green Sufferfish, in the Temple of Balance.

The Four Masters approach the world's Dragaux Stadium first, but are presumably overcome by the dark influence shortly after Ring and the Trainee arrive.

Guru Andma, now corrupted, later appears in The Shrouded Land's Temple of Balance, once again sending out a Green Sufferfish assisted by two Puffersquishes against the duo. After Dragaux has been fought, she and the other Four Masters taunt the Trainee, telling them they cannot win against him and that it'd be better to just give up.

She reappears in the Grandminion Gauntlet, introducing the place as a children's paradise. Guru Andma tells the duo that in order to get to Dragaux, they'll have to get through her grandminions, who are the children that she raised on her own and take control over the game gym in oppose to robots. Once the Trainee completes the gyms, Guru Andma says she'll let them pass onto Dragaux Stadium, only for the two to be met with a direct battle with her. She keeps to her word and lets the two continue their journey, sarcastically wishing them 'Good Luck' kind of…

Guru Andma makes another appearance at the Wings of Daddalus Dragaux Stadium, surprised to meet the Trainee once again with disappointment in the other masters. In battle, she introduces the balance ball sisters, two Sufferfishes which were a result of her pet ball splitting into two, the Trainee then goes on to fight both the sufferfishes and Guru Andma herself. In defeat, Guru Andma expresses her regret in not knowing the Trainee was coming, or else she would of trained the balance ball sisters a bit more. She lets the two continue into El Dorago, telling them to not keep Dragaux waiting.

In The City of Open Eyes, Guru Andma halts the Trainee and speaks of Dragaux's final training session, where he's now working on all muscle groups together to gain balance. She once again makes an attempt of warning the Trainee to simply stop fighting him, though shortly has her doubts that they'd listen, considering they never have, initiating another battle with her and the balance ball sisters shortly after. Once defeated, she comes to acknowledge the Trainee's improvement though comes to point out that Dragaux is too, proven by the loud metallic sounds that continue to blast from the stadium. She also tells the duo that reaching Dragaux won't be as easy before moving on.

She reappears by the Dragaux Stadium as Ring points out how the noise has finally stopped, explaining that Dragaux is finally finished with his training. She bids them farewell and says that they should of simply bowed down to Dragaux, for everyone's sake. After Dragaux has been fought, she and the other Four Masters are summoned, only to be in dismay as Dragaux absorbs them for their powers.

At the entrance of The Land of Hades, Guru Andma returns as a spirit. She reveals herself to be the ghost that was guiding Ring and the Trainee through Between Land and informs them that the other spirits of the Four Masters are in Hades as well, freed from the dark influence. She warns the Trainee regarding Dragaux and in order to prepare them for the final battle, she and the other Four Masters get ready for training sessions. She meets the Trainee once again by Calm Cloister, with Ring giving her a fright as a surprise. She isn't pleased with said surprise and Ring eventually apologises, however she reassures that she's not actually mad at them. She provides her test which is to go through the level with her selection of Yoga Fit Skills.

Afterwards, she expresses her worries about the Grandminions and how she was the one who adopted and raised them, hoping to at least be there when they all grew up. Upon initially meeting Ring and the Trainee, she felt as her age is finally catching up on her, even commenting how she use to eat three bowls of rice for every meal, but can now only handle two in recent times. She comes to the conclusion that it's not about aging, but *how* one ages.

Guru Andma appears again by Judgement Pass, informing the Trainee that now that they've passed everyone's training routines, the guardian of Hades, 'Sir Grrrrus', awaits up ahead for a battle. After the battle, she calls the monster 'Li'l Grrr' and reveals that she is the one who made the sign by the entrance, presumably with a bit of messy handwriting as Ring misread it. She calls Li'l Grrr her best friend and translates what he says over to the Trainee as he wishes them the best of luck.

She and the other Four Masters appear once again at the exit of Hades, ready for one final lesson before the Trainee goes on to fight Dragaux in Finalia. This leads to a battle with all four of them, announcing how they have recognised their weaknesses and are now overcoming them thanks to the help of Ring and the Trainee. Once defeated, together the Four Masters gift the Trainee the Galactic Jogger set and wish them the best of luck.

At the very end of Finalia once Dragaux has been defeated, the spirits of the Four Masters are finally freed from him and they are revived back into the world. Ring is in glee to see them alive again before they all turn to look at Dragaux as all the dark influence vanishes out from him. Together, the Four Masters agree to train with the trainee and Guru Andma becomes their balance trainer, promising to keep the other Four Masters in line too.

## Trivia

* Guru Andma is the only one of the Four Masters that does not have a color advantage. This is possibly due to using other Fit Skills as her attack as well as yoga.
* Guru Andma's name is a pun on grandma, referring to her old age.
* The Grandminions are her adopted children.
* Guru Andma is similar to Lemmy Koopa from the Super Mario series as they both balance on a ball while fighting. Additionally her ball increases in size similar to how Lemmy's ball does in New Super Mario Bros Wii. Ironically, Lemmy is the shortest of the seven Koopalings while Guru Andma is the shortest of the Four Masters.
