'''Eggs''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are items and objects, acting either helpful or as hindrances.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Jr.''===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' are obstacles occasionally dropped by [[Nitpicker]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] touches an egg, he loses a life.

===''Pinball / VS. Pinball''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Pinball Egg.png]]|bg=black}}
Eggs in ''[[Pinball (game)|Pinball]]'' and ''[[Pinball (game)|VS. Pinball]]'' appear in [[scene B]], where there are three of them. If the ball touches an egg, it hatches into a [[chick]]. If all three eggs hatch into chicks, an [[up-post]] appears in between the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s.

===''Wario's Woods''===
[[File:PieceCreatureEgg.gif|frame]]
In the [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES version of ''Wario's Woods'']], '''Creature Eggs'''{{ref needed}} are items that can be achieved whenever [[Toad]] performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' are yellow and can be spit out by [[Squawks]] to defeat most enemies.

Giant eggs in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' appear in [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krow's Nest]] and [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest level)|Kreepy Krow]], where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the [[Kong]]s. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Eggs in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health. The latter game's Egg [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] identifies them as representing the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but not the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

===''Paper Mario''===

Eggs in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are rare items that restore five [[Heart Point|HP]]. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of [[Mt. Rugged]] where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in [[Jade Jungle]], in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of [[Peach's Castle]] as a special item and are used to make the [[Special Strawberry Cake]] for [[Gourmet Guy]] during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.

Eggs were later replaced by [[Mystic Egg]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where they function identically and [[Big Egg]]s in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.

Eggs can be used in the following recipes, resulting in the following cooked items:
*Egg: [[Fried Egg]]
*[[Dried Pasta]] + Egg: [[Bland Meal]]
*[[Super Mushroom|Super Shroom]] + Egg: [[Bland Meal]]
*[[Life Mushroom (Paper Mario series)|Life Shroom]] + Egg: [[Bland Meal]]
*[[Volt Mushroom|Volt Shroom]] + Egg: [[Bland Meal]]
*[[Mushroom]] + Egg: [[Bland Meal]]
*[[Iced Potato]] + Egg: [[Bland Meal]]
*[[Cake Mix]] + Egg: [[Big Cookie]]
*[[Strange Leaf]] + Egg: [[Boiled Egg]]
*[[Stinky Herb]] + Egg: [[Boiled Egg]]
*[[Fire Flower]] + Egg: [[Egg Bomb|Egg Missile]]
*[[Ultra Mushroom|Ultra Shroom]] + Egg: [[Yummy Meal]]

===''Mario Bros.'' (Game Boy Advance)===
Eggs in the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' are random items that players can find inside of a [[Bin|garbage can]] and throw to break it and reveal one of three items inside: a [[coin]], [[Heart (item)|Heart]] or [[Super Star|Starman]]. Eggs in ''Mario Bros.'' have the same sprite as [[Birdo's Egg]]s.

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
Eggs in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]] are objects appearing as battle gimmicks of [[Birdo]], who may occasionally inhale [[Popple]] and spit out multiple egg capsules in his stead. One contains Popple, the others contain pink [[Bob-omb]]-like enemies that dash through a random bro. The eggs break after some hits, releasing Popple, and allowing him to be attacked again.

===''Mario Superstar Baseball''===
An egg in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' is an item in Challenge Mode which costs 200 coins to buy, and grants [[Yoshi]] the ability to use his special hits and pitches.

==Profiles and statistics==

|desc=Eggs are basically the same as Capsules, in that they'll release items when you break them open. They've been known to explode, too. The likelihood that certain items may be inside Eggs depends on the type of stage being played. Sometimes Eggs will contain health-replenishing food items; other times, they may hold weapons.
