Surprise Balls are round in shape and float in midair. A Baby Yoshi can use one with his tongue, pulling him in and thrusting him upwards, ending up standing on top of it. A similar-looking item, titled the [[? Bubble]], exists in the game&mdash;instead of an exclamation mark, this red ball has a white question mark on it.
