'''Egg Plants'''<ref>{{cite|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'' Player's Guide|date=2002|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|language=en-us|page=12|isbn=1-930206-25-9}}</ref> (also formatted as '''Egg-Plants'''<ref name=guide>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page={{file link|SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|128}}}}</ref> or in lowercase<ref>{{cite|quote=''Egg plants will provide you with ammo, and you’ll need plenty of it to carve your way through the stone.''|author=Williams, Drew|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' Player's Guide|isbn=1-59812-016-6|page=144}}</ref>) are flowers appearing mainly in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. Their name comes from "eggplant," a type of fruit. They also share their name with a type of nightshade (hence the appearance). Egg Plants normally spit out normal [[Yoshi's Egg]]s, and they are very common and appear in almost every [[level]] in their respective games. They spit out eggs one at a time, but if a Yoshi [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]s near one, the plant will either shoot out several at once or start shooting them out more quickly. The [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can also lick the eggs to catch them. Since the Yoshi can carry only six eggs each, the Egg Plant does not produce any more eggs until the Yoshi uses one of them on something.

[[Sanbo Flower|Some Egg Plant]]s spit out [[Pokey (projectile)|Pokey projectile]]s, but as long as a Yoshi has six eggs, they cannot spit any out. In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', there are four of these plants in the [[Island Museum]]. They can be viewed in the botanical enemy exhibit.

An unused variation that spits out Bubbles was intended to appear, but it was removed for unknown reasons.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island#Unused Sprites|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island § Unused Sprites]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=August 26, 2018|language=en}}</ref> Like the [[Bull's-Eye Bill|Missile Bill]], it is fully functional.

An Egg Plant appears in volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'', where it helps [[Mario]], [[Yoshi]], and [[Luigi]] by providing eggs in their fight against [[Burt the Bashful]].

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Egg Plants are knitted and lack eyes, and in replacement for eggs, they shoot out [[yarn ball]]s of multiple colors. Egg Plants appear less frequently in the game, with only a few appearances, including the [[Bonus Game (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Bonus Game]]. The variation that spits out Pokey balls is absent due to the fact that they were replaced by [[Pokey Pom]]s.

Egg Plants reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', where they appear more frequently. One of them is set on a flowerpot in the course [[Deceptive Doors]] and in the [[Jungle Tour Challenge]], two Egg Plants are set on the train.
