'''Melon Bugs'''<ref name=guide> | '''Melon Bugs'''<ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> are harmless, {{wp|Armadillidiidae|pill bug}}-like creatures that appear in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. | ||
They bounce up and down, but when [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] gets too close, they roll up into balls, which resemble melons, hence their name. If Yoshi gets close enough, he can eat them and then spit them out, causing them to roll across the ground, destroying any enemies in their path. Alternatively, they can be swallowed to create an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]. | |||
