Most Egg Blocks are depicted with green spots.


==History==
==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
In the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], each time an Egg Block is hit from below, a Yoshi's egg is dispensed, unless the Yoshi already has six eggs with him. Besides the common green-spotted Egg Blocks, there are also Yellow, Red, and Flashing Egg Blocks, which, when hit, turn into a single [[Yellow Egg]], [[Red Egg]], or [[Flashing Egg]], respectively. Any Egg Block can be stood on. Hitting an Egg Block from a certain side pushes eggs out in the opposite direction.

The spots on Egg Blocks are commonly green. When a Yoshi hits an Egg Block from the bottom, a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi's egg]] is dispensed. If the Yoshi is already holding six eggs, no more eggs are dispensed. Aside from green-spotted Egg Blocks, there are also Yellow, Red, and Flashing Egg Blocks, which, when hit, turn into a single [[Yellow Egg]], [[Red Egg]], or [[Flashing Egg]], respectively. Hitting an Egg Block from a certain side pushes eggs out in the opposite direction.


In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', two new Egg Block varieties are introduced. One of them releases [[Mega Eggdozer]]s, while the other one releases [[Metal Eggdozer]]s. Both of them are four times bigger than a normal Egg Block (looking like green-spotted [[Expansion Block]]s). The earlier variety is white, while the latter is black.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
All Egg Blocks in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' sport green spots and sway slightly. In {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases, the spots on every Egg Block match the color of the Yoshi being played instead.
In {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the spots on Egg Blocks are the color of the current Yoshi, rather than just green like in the original version. In all releases, Egg Blocks have a light swaying animation.


===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
===''Super Mario'' series===
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Egg Blocks (localized as '''spotted blocks''' and '''spotted boxes''')<ref name>{{cite|author=Averill, Alan; Villarreal, Jennifer|title=Super Mario Sunshine: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide|publisher=[[Nintendo]] of America|location=Redmond, WA|date=2002|page=63 and 73|isbn=1-930206-23-2}}</ref> are platforms in the secret courses of [[Pinna Park]]. Most have green spots, but there are some that have magenta, blue, and black ones.

Most have green spots, but there are some that have magenta, blue, and black ones.


===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / {{a|P&YWW}}===
====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
Egg Blocks are replaced by similarly designed objects known as '''Yarn Baskets''' in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They can pop open halfway when hit, showing they literally contain [[yarn ball]]s. Yarn balls are the game's equivalent to Yoshi eggs. Hitting a Yarn Basket from the bottom releases one yarn ball, and hitting it with a yarn ball from any side releases three at once. This respects the maximum number of yarn balls that a Yoshi can currently carry, so more yarn balls cannot appear if there are as many or more yarn balls in the course as that maximum. Sometimes, a Yarn Basket makes a [[big yarn ball (item)|big yarn ball]] instead of a normal yarn ball. If a Yoshi is using the "Make all yarn balls big!" {{id|Power Badge|YWW}}, Yarn Baskets always release a number of big yarn balls to fill the Yoshi up to the maximum number of yarn balls no matter how they are hit. In {{a|P&YWW}}, if a Yoshi is in [[Easy Mode|Mellow Mode]] or has switched from Mellow Mode to Classic Mode without scrolling the Yarn Basket off the screen at any point afterward, Yarn Baskets appear to be empty. This ties into the functionality of the [[Poochy Pup]]s, who can optionally replace yarn balls in Mellow Mode. While the Poochy Pups are out, Yarn Baskets do not release yarn balls. However, they still release yarn balls when the Poochy Pups are in their button, even though they appear not to contain yarn balls.
Although Egg Blocks do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', if [[Yoshi]] [[swallow]]s a [[Crate]], the egg he creates will be in the shape of a cube, just like Egg Blocks.
 
===''Yoshi's Woolly World''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Egg Blocks are replaced by similarly designed objects known as '''Yarn Baskets''', matching the game's aesthetics. Instead of Yoshi eggs, they release [[yarn ball]]s, the game's equivalent to Yoshi eggs. Occasionally, they release bigger yarn balls for the Yoshis to use. Yarn Baskets can be hit from the bottom to release one yarn ball at a time or hit with a yarn ball from any side to release multiple at once.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Egg Blocks in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' uniquely dispense eggs depending on which direction the Yoshi is facing.
In ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', the direction in which eggs are dispensed depends on the direction that Yoshi is facing. These blocks additionally can be stood upon.
 
===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
Egg Blocks appear in levels 2 and 3 of the [[Yoshi's Story (microgame)|Yoshi's Story]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/PZCpX86R9xQ?feature=shared&t=4174|title=''WarioWare Get It Together!'' - ALL Microgames (Nintendo Classics Enthusiast)|timestamp=1:09:34|publisher=YouTube|language=en|author=UTAGaming|date=April 7, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/PZCpX86R9xQ?feature=shared&t=4183|title=''WarioWare Get It Together!'' - ALL Microgames (Nintendo Classics Enthusiast)|timestamp=1:09:43|publisher=YouTube}}</ref>
