| | A '''Surprise Ball''' (also known as a '''! Ball'''<ref>''Yoshi's Story'' Australian manual, page 16.</ref>) is a spherical platform that [[Baby Yoshi]]s use during the events of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. Surprise Balls are round in shape and float in midair. To use one, the Yoshi must use his tongue on this object, and he will be pulled in and thrust upwards, ending up standing on top of it. |

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—instead of an exclamation mark, this red ball has a white question mark on it. | |
