Both the green and yellow variations of Needlenoses debut in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and reappear in [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]] as common enemies. Yellow Needlenoses are spat out by [[Blow Hard]]s and [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]]s in a Yoshi's direction. When they hit a surface or a Yoshi, they pop and disappear.

Green Needlenoses are often seen bouncing on top of [[Pokey (heading)|Pokey]] cacti,  dropped by [[Item Balloon|Baron von Zeppelin]]s, or thrown by [[Ukiki|Seedy Sallies]]. They are also spat out by [[Sanbo Flower]]s if Yoshi has less than six eggs, with the unique property of simply falling off the screen and not coming into contact with any surface.

They are also spat out by [[Sanbo Flower]]s if a Yoshi has fewer than six [[Yoshi's Eggs|eggs]], with the unique property of briefly bouncing upon contact with the ground before falling off the screen as opposed to outright popping.
Needlenoses will damage Yoshi on contact. However, they can be defeated by eating and spitting them at other enemies, turning them into [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s, or throwing an egg at them.

Both varieties of Pokeys reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' under their current name, reprising their role from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. While Blow Hards, Wild Ptooie Piranhas, and Baron von Zeppelins return, Pokey cacti are absent. Yellow Pokeys are also used by [[Priscilla the Peckish]] to attack.

Sanbo Flowers appear only during [[Kamek]]'s battle in [[Slime Drop Drama]], and they spit out yellow Pokeys instead of green ones as in previous games.
