| The '''Egg Throw''' is a move typically used by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. This is one of their signature moves and was first used in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. To use it, a Yoshi must first get a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]. Each throw uses one egg. The player must hold or press the aiming button to show an X-shaped pointer, which moves up and down. Letting go or pressing the aim button again fires the egg in the direction of the cursor. The egg keeps going in the direction it was thrown until it hits a wall, a ceiling, or the ground, at which point it bounces. When it hits an enemy or bounces too many times, the egg breaks. Bouncing eggs are especially useful in underground stages with a lot of soft dirt to clear out. If an egg bounces multiple times, it changes color, going from green to [[Yellow Egg|yellow]] to [[Red Egg|red]], after which it breaks. Most bosses in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] are defeated by throwing eggs. | | [[Image:YoshiToss.jpg|thumb|'''Egg Throw''' from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.]] |

| In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[Yoshi]] does not have to aim, because an egg he throws automatically targets the nearest enemy. If no enemies are around, the egg is thrown directly forward. It can also chain to a couple of enemies. If it does this, not only does Yoshi clear the path more, but he also gets two [[coin]]s per enemy, rather than just one. The move is useful in the mission [[Behind Chain Chomp's Gate|Behind Chain-Chomp's Gate]] because it can paralyze the [[Chain Chomp|Chain-Chomp]] for a few seconds. However, Yoshi can carry only one egg at a time, instead of six in the ''Yoshi'' series. | | In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' Yoshi doesn't have to aim because it is automatically aimed toward the nearest enemy.

| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', this move is used for the first time by a character that is not a Yoshi—in this case, [[Sunnycide]]. This boss character can use Egg Throw, complete with the cursor from the ''Yoshi'' games, against all four of the Mario Bros. as an attack, using [[Yoob]] [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|eggs]] that contain trapped Yoshis inside. This attack can be [[jump]]ed over.

| | |
| In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the [[Fawful Guy]] enemies have an attack where they are eaten and turned into an egg by an offscreen creature, which then throws the egg at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], once again using the aiming cursor from ''Yoshi's Island''.

| In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Egg Throw is Yoshi's up special move. When it is used, Yoshi throws an egg at an upward arc rather than directly forward; the angle of the throw can be adjusted by tilting the Control Stick after executing the move, and the distance depends on how long the player holds down the special move button. Starting with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Yoshi is also given some height when using the move in the air, but it decreases each time he uses it. The eggs break as soon as they hit an opponent or object; in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', however, the eggs can bounce off the ground at least once before breaking.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Super Smash Bros.|date=June 12, 2018|url=youtu.be/bQsMQankmEs|title=05: Yoshi – Super Smash Bros.

| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', this move has two custom variants: '''High Jump''' and '''Timed Egg Throw'''. High Jump gives Yoshi an extra jump but does not throw an egg, and the move can still be used more than once, but each jump gives less height, while Timed Egg Throw throws an egg that goes through enemies and explodes after a set amount of time.

| According to [[Takashi Tezuka]], a mechanic for the Yoshis similar to the Egg Throw was created for ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', but it was removed for being too difficult to control.<ref>{{cite|language=en|author=Brian|date=December 31, 2023|url=nintendoeverything.com/super-mario-bros-wonder-yoshi-scrapped-mechanic|title=Nintendo on how Mario Wonder characters were decided, scrapped Yoshi mechanic|publisher=Nintendo Everything|accessdate=December 31, 2023|archive=web.archive.org/web/20231231153044/https://nintendoeverything.com/super-mario-bros-wonder-yoshi-scrapped-mechanic}}</ref>
