A '''Red Egg'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1995|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' instruction booklet|page=13}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' instruction booklet|page=16|language=en-us|date=2006|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> is a type of [[Yoshi's Egg]] appearing mainly in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]].

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
Red Eggs are throwable objects in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]), ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. If a Green Egg recoils two times off a wall, it turns into a Red Egg, which a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can catch and add to his stash of eggs. However, if the egg recoils too much, it falls offscreen. Red Eggs can also be obtained from red-spotted [[Egg Block]]s, though unlike with a green-spotted Egg Block, a Yoshi gets only one egg. When Red Eggs hit an enemy, two [[star (Yoshi's Island series)|star]]s appear where the impact was.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Red Eggs return in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', where they are once again created by a Green Egg hitting a wall twice before being recollected or hitting an enemy. They give three [[Heart_(item)#Yoshi_franchise|Hearts]] to Yoshi when used to defeat an enemy, with the Hearts automatically being collected upon spawning, unlike in prior games where the stars had to be manually grabbed.

==Trivia==
*While official artwork for Red Eggs consistently depicts them with white shells, their sprites in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]) and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' feature yellow shells. This detail is removed in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', which change the shell color to match the artwork.
