There are some notable Nurse Joys that are very different from the others: the muscle-bound kayak-riding Nurse Joy in the [[Orange Archipelago]], for example. On top of that, all the Nurse Joys of the Orange Archipelago have a darker skin tone than the ones found in any other region, probably an effect of living in such sunny weather.
