In the [[Jelly Pipe]], a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can go into a [[vase (Yoshi's Story)|vase]] and enter a room with a slug crawling up, down, and horizontally on the walls. According to the ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guide, this slug coated the Jelly Pipe with [[jelly|slime]].<ref>{{cite|author=Leung, Jason, Terry Munson, and Scott Pelland|title=''Yoshi's Story'' Player's Guide|page=37|date=1998|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|quote='''Jelly Pipe''' The Yoshis stumble across a pipe that leads underground. If they decide to enter the Jelly Pipe, they’d better be ready to take on the thing that coated the entire tunnel with slime—a giant slug.}}</ref> Two slugs also appear in the [[Magma Castle]], where they are both fought in the same room. Slugs can be defeated by throwing [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi egg]]s close to their eyes so that the explosions touch their eyes and cause damage. A slug is defeated after three hits, dropping a special prize upon defeat. In the Magma Castle, any defeated slugs do not respawn; should the player run out of eggs after defeating one, they can leave the room to restock from an [[Egg Block]] nearby and return to defeat the other. | |

| The artwork for slugs depicts them slightly differently from their in-game sprite: they are depicted with red-and-yellow pupils in their artwork, but they have green pupils in-game. Slugs are one of the few mini-bosses in the game.
| | It is difficult to defeat Slugs in combat. Many [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s are required to destroy a single Slug, as they must first be stunned by eggs exploding in front of their eyes before they can be damaged. However, once Yoshi does destroy the Slug, he will get a special prize. |
