'''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 small, quick-moving blue hedgehogs that appear as 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]].
==History==
===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''===
Harry Hedgehogs make their debut in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]. They continuously and quickly move between two sides of a platform. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] gets too close to one, the 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. They usually appear in cavern [[level]]s; the sixth level of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]], [[The Cave Of Harry Hedgehog]], is named after this enemy and prominently features the hedgehogs. They appear in another level in ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'': [[Go! Go! Morphing!]]


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.
===''Yoshi's New Island''===
Harry Hedgehogs reappear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where their spines are now purple instead of blue. They prominently appear in [[Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth]] and act the same as previously.

==Trivia==
*Harry Hedgehogs are possibly a reference to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], since they are blue and move very fast. During the 16-bit era (which happened to be the time that ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' was released), Sonic's company of origin, [[Sega]], often mocked the works of [[Nintendo]] in various ways (as Nintendo and Sega were business rivals). The Harry Hedgehog may be a retaliation to these mockeries, which may also explain its change in color for its latest appearance. However, in official artwork, the Harry Hedgehog has always been purple.
