They are a species of rain droplet creature whose name is a homophonic pun on "{{wp|dewdrop}}." Do-Drops first appear in the [[Jelly Pipe]]. They are usually found in narrow passageways, where they come out of a broken rusty [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]. They have an unappealing taste, and as such, because they are a liquid-based entity, eating one does not produce an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]], instead damaging a [[Baby Yoshi]]. Do-Drops are later found in [[Shy Guy Limbo]], where they are dropped by clouds. They attack by bouncing off and colliding with any Yoshi in sight, dissolving themselves in the process. | |

| ==Profiles and statistics==
| | The Do-Drops first appear in Stage 2-3: [[Jelly Pipe]]. The Do-Drops are usually found in narrow passageways, where they come out of a rusty and broken [[Warp Pipe|Pipe]]. They have a presumably sour taste, since a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] will be hurt if they eat one. Because they are a liquid-based entity, eating one won't produce an [[Egg]]. Do-Drops are later found in Stage 4-3: [[Shy Guy Limbo]], where they are dropped by cloud. They atttack by bouncing off and colliding with any Yoshi in sight, dissolving themselves in the process. |
