These cloud monsters are encountered in groups and fly in a short line vertically or horizontally. Cloud Drops are commonly encountered in areas where a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can turn into a [[Helicopter Yoshi|helicopter]]. Cloud Drops move quickly, but they can be defeated if [[jump]]ed on. While their ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' artwork depicts them as a recolor of the [[Lava Drop]], Cloud Drops have distinct sprites.

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', there are enemies resembling Cloud Drops, known as [[Wik]]s.
