'''Harry Hedgehogs''' are enemies in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. They first appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and return in its [[reissue|remake]] ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' and the series' third installment, ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. In all three appearances, Harry Hedgehogs continuously and quickly move between two sides of a platform. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] gets too close to one, the Harry Hedgehog stops in its tracks briefly and swells up, its spines sticking out. Harry Hedgehogs cannot be eaten while in their defensive position, but they can be defeated using a [[fire watermelon]], and they are otherwise edible and vulnerable to any attacks in their normal state. | '''Harry Hedgehogs''' are enemies in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]].

Most games generally feature Harry Hedgehogs in only one level named after them. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Harry Hedgehogs only appear in [[The Cave Of Harry Hedgehog]], which is named after Harry Hedgehogs and prominently features them. In ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'', Harry Hedgehogs were added in another level, [[Go! Go! Morphing!]] In ''Yoshi's New Island'', Harry Hedgehogs similarly only appear in a single level of their own, [[Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth]]. | Most games generally only feature Harry Hedgehogs in only one level named after them.

Harry Hedgehogs are possibly a reference to [[Sonic]], since they are blue hedgehogs that move very fast. During the 16-bit era, which is when ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' was first released, ''Sonic the Hedgehog'' series producer [[Sega]] often mocked the works of [[Nintendo]], their main business rival at the time. The Harry Hedgehog may be a retaliation to these mockeries. However, in its ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' artwork and ''Yoshi's New Island'' in-game depiction, Harry Hedgehogs have purple spines. | Harry Hedgehogs are possibly a reference to [[Sonic]], since they are blue hedgehogs that move very fast.
