Nipper Spores generally resemble red spheres attached to white balls of fluff via small, black or yellow stems. | | '''Nipper Spores''' are red spheres that are attached to white balls of fluff via small, green stems in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. There are four Nipper Spores on one [[Nipper Dandelion]]. When strong gusts of wind blow (usually caused by [[Windbag]]s), the Nipper Spores are blown off of the Nipper Dandelion and into the air, until they land and become [[Nipper Plants]]. No [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]s are produced when [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] eats a Nipper Spore. |

|
| ==History==
| | In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Nipper Spores have spikes on them. They are also foul tasting, meaning that they'll hurt any Yoshi (except for the [[Black Yoshi|Black]] and [[White Yoshi]]) that eats them. |
| ===''Yoshi's Island'' series===

| |
| In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its enhanced port]], Nipper Spores are first encountered in [[The Cave Of Chomp Rock]]. They descend slowly from a certain height to the ground. Simply touching one will cause [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to drop [[Baby Mario]] off his back. Upon coming into contact with the ground, they transform into a Nipper Plant, which starts walking right away. Yoshi will swallow a Nipper Spore directly upon eating it, without producing an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]. He will lick his lips directly after doing so. | |
|
| |
|
| ====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
| | Nipper Spores also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', where [[Piranha Plant]]s in battle spit them out into the background to create Nipper Plants. |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Nipper Spores first appear in the level [[Ba-dum BUM!]]. Throughout the game, some Nipper Spores are produced by [[Nipper Dandelion]]s. When strong gusts of wind blow (usually caused by [[Windbag (enemy)|Windbag]]s), the Nipper Spores are blown off of the Nipper Dandelion and into the air, until they land and become [[Nipper Plants]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Yoshi's New Island''====
| | {{BoxTop}} |
| Nipper Spores return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', acting the same way as before. They are first encountered in the level [[Cave of the Nipper Plants]].

| In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Nipper Spores have spikes on them. They are also foul tasting, meaning that they will hurt any [[Baby Yoshi]] (except for the Black and White ones) that attempts to eat them.
| |
| | |
| ===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
| |
| Nipper Spores also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', where [[Piranha Plant]]s in battle spit them out into the background to create [[Nipper Plant]]s.

| [[File:WoollyNipperSporeHQ.png|thumb|150px|A Nipper Spore in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
| |
| In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Nipper Spores are first present in the level [[Sponge Cave Spelunking]], where they act the same as in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. [[Nipper Spore Patch]]es are sometimes encountered in large blocks of wool that can be unwoven; they behave identically to a regular Nipper Spore.
| |
| | |
| ===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
| |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Nipper Spores are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant]]. Unlike most other variations generally mentioned in order of appearance, they are listed amongst ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' debuts. [[Big Piranha Plant|Big Piranha]]s, [[Big Fire Piranha]]s, [[Small Piranha]]s, and [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant|Fire Stalking Piranha]]s are similarly listed out of order.
| |

| ===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
| |
| Nipper Spores reappeared in the course [[Jumping to Victory]] of ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. Their design and behavior remain unchanged from previous games.
