The '''Head Shake''' is an ability in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Its name comes from a term referring to a gesture used to indicate denial, disbelief, or rejection. It is effectively [[Yoshi]]'s version of [[Mario]]'s (or [[Luigi]]'s) [[spin]], in that it is used instead whenever Yoshi is being ridden, and has many of the same effects—it breaks [[Crystal (Super Mario Galaxy)|crystal]]s, activates objects, flips [[Red-Blue Panel]]s, and reflects physical projectiles. However, using it to gain height in midair prevents Yoshi from [[Flutter Jump|flutter-jump]]ing, and using a Flutter Jump stops the move from gaining height, meaning the two techniques cannot be combined for large [[jump]]s. The move also does not hit behind Yoshi, unlike Mario's spin, which hits on all sides.

While the move is new in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' as a named technique, Yoshi using his head as a weapon is a mainstay of previous games; he headbutts enemies in the earlier ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]'' games instead of punching, and several of his attacks in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series are headbutts (with many of them rendering his head temporarily intangible).
