A '''Blow Hard'''<ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[media:SMW2 Guide 126.jpg|Page 126]].</ref> is a [[Pokey]] that fires [[Pokey (projectile)|smaller yellow Pokey]]s at a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]), ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Despite being a Pokey, it more closely resembles a [[Piranha Plant]] due to its spherical spotted head and large lips. It always faces a Yoshi and has a blinking crosshair to tell where it is firing. Any solid objects and platforms can stop its projectiles. It is nearly invincible, but a Yoshi can [[Ground Pound|pound the ground]] nearby or throw an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] at it to temporarily knock it out; however, it wakes up a few seconds later. It can be defeated entirely in the first game with a [[ice watermelon|blue watermelon]] or [[fire watermelon|red watermelon]].

 

Although Blow Hards spit yellow Pokeys, their artwork for ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' depicts them spitting green ones instead.
