In games of the ''Super Mario'' franchise, these eggs may contain items or a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], either fully grown or in [[Baby Yoshi|baby form]]. In the ''Yoshi'' franchise, Yoshis usually can [[Egg Throw|use the eggs as throwing projectiles]]. Yoshis often require an incentive to lay eggs, such as eating enemies or [[fruit]], while [[Egg Block]]s and [[Egg Plant]]s generate infinite numbers of them. Barring [[Chef|one minor instance]], games never depict a Yoshi, adult or otherwise, hatching from an egg explicitly laid by another one.

Though the basic white egg with green dots is the most common design throughout the ''Super Mario'' franchise, the body and dots can be a variety of colors, depending on either the Yoshi that laid the egg or the egg's contents or properties. The eggs themselves can vary in size from smaller than a Yoshi to bigger than even [[Bowser]].

====''Super Mario World / Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2''====

[[File:SMW-Mario and Yoshi Egg.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]] finding an egg in ''Super Mario World'']]

Yoshi Eggs first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''; when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] finds one, a [[Yoshi]] hatches from it, allowing Mario and Luigi to ride it. If Mario or Luigi finds another egg while a Yoshi is nearby, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] will emerge instead.  According to the story, Bowser trapped all the Yoshis in eggs.

Mario or Luigi rescues an egg from each [[Castle#Super Mario World|Castle]] he clears, but these eggs do not hatch until the end of the game. These eggs are all yellow-spotted in the original game, but the [[Baby Yoshi]]s that hatch during the ending cutscenes are various colors; in the [[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2|Game Boy Advance version]], the spots on the eggs now match the color of the Yoshis that hatch from them.

There are also multicolored eggs that appear outside item boxes in the [[Star World]] levels. Approaching one of these will cause it to hatch into a baby Yoshi, with its color matching the color of the egg. In ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'', the Bros. can find an egg of any color in a [[? Block]] after finding the corresponding Yoshi in [[Star World]] and feeding it enough enemies or objects to grow it to maturity, though which egg will spawn is dependent on the Bros.' current form. The possible outcomes are as follows; forms written in italics will always spawn that particular Yoshi, assuming it has already been found and fed in Star World, whereas forms not written in italics will randomly spawn a Yoshi among those which have already been unlocked:

*Green Yoshi for Small Mario, [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]], Fire Mario (if Red Yoshi has not been found and fed yet), and [[Cape Mario|Caped Mario]] (if Blue Yoshi has not been found and fed yet).

*Yellow Yoshi for Small Mario, Super Mario, Fire Mario (if Red Yoshi has not been found and fed yet), and Caped Mario (if Blue Yoshi has not been found and fed yet).

*Red Yoshi for Small Mario, Super Mario, ''Fire Mario'', and Caped Mario (if Blue Yoshi has not been found and fed yet).

In addition, Yoshis can lay eggs after eating [[fruit (Yoshi food)|berries]]. A [[Super Mushroom]] will hatch from the egg if ten red berries are eaten. In the GBA port, the type of power-up is dependent on the Yoshi's color: green eggs hatch out a Super Mushroom, red eggs hatch out a [[Fire Flower]], blue eggs hatch out a [[Cape Feather]], and yellow eggs hatch out a [[Super Star|Starman]]. If two pink berries are eaten, the egg will hatch a [[Yoshi Cloud]]. When the egg is expelled, it acts as a projectile. It can defeat enemies or activate blocks until it hatches.

[[File:Yoshi SMBDX.png|frame|right|Yoshi hatching from a Yoshi Egg in ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'']]

Yoshi Eggs also appear in the challenge mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]'', where only one can be found per level, and can only be collected from a hidden block within each level; said hidden block is often near an object that did not appear in the original level. Collecting the egg earns the player 2,000 points and places an egg icon next to the Red Coins indicator; and the egg will hatch into a Yoshi upon clearing the level. If the player collects all the eggs from each level, they will unlock a picture in the Album.

The player can use the Egg Finder feature in the [[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe#Toy Box|Toy Box]] to find the location of Yoshi Eggs; by pressing {{button|gb|A}}, the player stops the Egg Finder on a random stage, and the screen displays the approximate location.

[[File:SMA Yoshi's Challenge.png|thumb|left|Mario finding a Yoshi Egg in ''Super Mario Advance'']]

Yoshi Eggs are items in ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. They can be collected in '''Yoshi Challenge''', available after completing the game. Two Yoshi Eggs per level can be found in [[Subspace]], in the places where Mushrooms would normally be found. Thus, only three hearts is the maximum capacity during the Yoshi Challenge. The player also must successfully beat all the levels without losing lives. Dying will cause the player to lose the eggs they collected for that level, and they have to collect the eggs again. The Yoshi Eggs will hatch once all of them have been found for a world.

Yoshi eggs appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', containing Yoshis within, and are available after the player completes the episode [[The Wilted Sunflowers]] in [[Pinna Park]]. After the episode is cleared [[Shadow Mario]] will appear in front of the [[Grand Pianta Statue]] carrying a Yoshi egg, and must be defeated by spraying him with [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. After this encounter, a Yoshi egg will be available on a rooftop next to the western bell tower any time Mario returns to [[Delfino Plaza]], and eggs will also appear in several missions within each of the levels. Each egg is accompanied by a thought bubble with an image of a fruit; Mario must present them the fruit shown to make them hatch. The type of fruit will determine the color of the Yoshi that emerges, and he can change colors by eating other fruits; if Yoshi is lost, he will reappear inside the egg in its original location.

[[File:SM64DS-Yoshi Square Egg.png|thumb|A cuboid Yoshi's Egg in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'']]

Yoshi's Eggs appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as projectiles for Yoshi. They can be acquired by eating enemies and swallowing them to turn into eggs. Unlike in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Yoshi can carry only one egg at a time and must throw the egg in order to eat any other enemies. Thrown eggs home in on enemies onscreen and can bounce off enemies to hit another. If Yoshi swallows a wooden [[crate]], the egg takes the form of a cube and slides across the ground in a similar manner when thrown. A Yoshi's Egg automatically disappears if Yoshi collects a [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] or puts on a cap; however, the egg is not affected if Yoshi grabs a [[Super Mushroom]], but the egg cannot be thrown as Yoshi can only punch until the effects of the [[Mega Mario|Mega form]] wear off.

Yoshi's Egg symbols also appear in two of Luigi's minigames, [[Mario Slot]] and [[Super Mario Slot]]. Getting three Yoshi's Eggs in a row earns the player five coins.

''[[Super Mario 64]]'' did not feature any Yoshi's Eggs, but an [[List of Super Mario 64 pre-release and unused content|unused]] egg texture can be found in the game's coding.

[[File:Egg Planet.png|thumb|150px|left|{{conjectural|Egg planet|planet}} from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'']]

While the Yoshi's Eggs themselves do not appear as actual interactive objects in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', there is a planet in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] that resembles the Yoshi's Egg.

[[File:NSMBW Green Yoshi Egg Render.png|frame]]  

Yoshi eggs return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', hatching a Yoshi when a player hits a [[? Block]] or [[Brick Block]] containing one or more eggs based on the players onscreen. They behave similarly to the eggs in ''Super Mario World'', in which Yoshi also hatches from an egg spawned from a certain block. If Mario already has a Yoshi, the egg will produce a power-up instead. If the player's Yoshi eats five [[fruit (Yoshi food)|fruits]] or a [[Pokey]] during a vocal "[[paah]]" in the music, it will lay an egg containing a power-up. Yoshi eggs appear in [[World 1-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-3]], [[World 2-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 2-5]], [[World 3-2 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-2]], [[World 4-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-5]], [[World 6-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-4]], and [[World 7-6 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 7-6]]. Green Yoshi eggs briefly appear during the opening scene of Peach's birthday. A small Yoshi egg with a blue bow appears near a larger green Yoshi egg next to Mario wrapped in a pink bow.

 

In E3 2009 and demo footage for the game, the pink and light-blue Yoshi eggs were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|originally]] red and blue Yoshi eggs, hatching out Yoshis of their respective colors. The Yoshi eggs also originally did not shake before being hatched.

[[File:SMG2 Yoshi Egg Screenshot.png|thumb|130px|A Yoshi egg in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]

After being absent in the first game, Yoshi eggs appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in nest-like holes located in several galaxies. The eggs can be broken by jumping on them or hitting them with a [[spin]], upon which Yoshi will emerge and become rideable. If Yoshi is lost, he will retreat into his egg and must be freed again. A Yoshi egg also appears on the "nose" of [[Starship Mario]] after completing the first mission of [[Yoshi Star Galaxy]].

 

Yoshi eggs reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|Nintendo Switch port]]s, functioning the same way as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. However, only green Yoshi eggs hatch out the corresponding [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s. Some levels feature [[Hidden Block]]s containing a green Yoshi egg. There are also large, bright golden Yoshi eggs with white spots that hatch [[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]s, though only one appears from a single [[? Block]], which hatches all of the Yoshis at once depending on the number of players on-screen. Green Yoshi eggs appear in the levels [[Yoshi Hill]], [[Perilous Pokey Cave]], [[Above the Cheep Cheep Seas]], [[Prickly Goombas!]], [[Fuzzy Clifftop]], and [[Seesaw Shrooms]], while Glowing Baby Yoshi eggs appear in the levels [[Fire Snake Cavern]] and [[Which-Way Labyrinth]].  

In ''New Super Luigi U'', green Yoshi eggs and Glowing Baby Yoshi eggs appear in fewer levels than in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. Green Yoshi Eggs appear in levels [[Rolling Yoshi Hills]], [[Underground Grrrols]], [[Beanstalk Jungle]], [[Fire and Ice]], and [[Above the Bouncy Clouds]], while Glowing Baby Yoshi eggs only appear in the level [[Piranhas in the Dark]].

 

In the E3 2012 trailer and demo footage for the game, large blue and magenta Yoshi eggs each with white spots could appear from ? Blocks, containing and hatching all [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]]s and [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]]s respectively at once based on the number of players on-screen. However, these eggs do not appear in the final game as Bubble Baby Yoshis and Balloon Baby Yoshis instead appear on the world map and can follow the player(s) after coming in contact with one and can be taken to levels excluding [[Fortress]]es, [[Castle]]s and [[Airship]]s. The Baby Yoshi eggs are left in the final game's data, suggesting that they were intended to be included in the final game but were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. U pre-release and unused content#Demo|scrapped]] late in development. The eggs from which the [[Baby Yoshi]]s hatch have the color palettes and the spots of the eggs switched from the adult Yoshi eggs.

Yoshi's Eggs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', enabling players to use [[Yoshi]]. They can only be used in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' styles, as they are replaced by [[Goomba's Shoe]]s in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' styles. If an egg (or Yoshi) is crushed, such as from a [[Thwomp]] or a falling [[Bill Blaster]], it will disappear. When a Super Mushroom is dragged onto a Yoshi's Egg, it becomes a big Yoshi's Egg which hatches into two Yoshis at once that will run like they were hit by an enemy. Although more than one Yoshi's Egg can be placed, only two can actually hatch, while the others disappear upon hatching. A Yoshi's Egg on a track does not hatch until the player touches it, knocking it off of the track. A Yoshi's Egg in a [[Koopa Clown Car]] also does not hatch until it is removed from it.

Yoshi [[Costume Mario|costume]]s also appear with which the player can pose as a Yoshi's Egg by pressing {{button|padup}} / tilting {{button|Stick}} up.

[[File:Yoshi Egg SMO.jpg|thumb|150px|A Yoshi's Egg in the Mushroom Kingdom in ''Super Mario Odyssey'']]

Yoshi's Eggs appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', where they can be found in secret areas reached from the [[Dark Side]] and on top of [[Peach's Castle]] in the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. Mario can jump on Yoshi Eggs or throw [[Cappy]] at them in order to break them and release Yoshi.

====''Super Mario Maker 2''====

Yoshi's Eggs reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', retaining their behavior in its predecessor. They can now be attached to parachutes. In addition, dragging a Super Mushroom onto it instead causes it to turn red, hatching into a Red Yoshi that can breathe fire.

===''Super Mario World'' television series===

Yoshi's Eggs are rarely alluded to in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' animated series. In the episode "[[The Yoshi Shuffle]]", [[Luigi]] is turned into an egg similar to a Yoshi's Egg by a [[Magikoopa|Koopa Wizard]]. This egg is green with white spots.

A Yoshi's Egg proper makes an appearance in the episode "[[Mama Luigi]]". In a flashback, Luigi finds a Yoshi's Egg inside a ? Block in the [[Lava Pits (Super Mario World television series)|Lava Pits]], from which [[Yoshi]] as a baby immediately hatches. While Yoshi is green, this egg has red spots instead.

{|class="wikitable"style="width:20%;text-align:center"

===''Club Nintendo''===

In the [[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Ostern im Schwammerlland]]", the Easter bunny dropped a Yoshi egg, out of which Yoshi emerged.

A Yoshi egg played an important role in the comic "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]", published in the same magazine. In this story, some fog coming out of [[Kamek]]'s broom shrinks the [[Magikoopa]] and Mario to ant-size. When they sit on a blade of grass waiting for help, Yoshi swallows them. All attempts to get the two out of Yoshi's mouth fail, but ultimately [[Dr. Light]] gets the idea that Yoshi laying an egg could be the solution to the problem. Yoshi obviously has difficulties doing so, but two hours later, he finally lays an egg. Light breaks it up and indeed Mario and Kamek come out of it.

An egg is a projectile used by [[Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. Only the computer may use eggs, and Yoshi has an unlimited supply of them. The egg is a "special" item, but all special items in the game are exclusive to CPU controlled drivers. It has the same function as a [[Banana]] but with short bouncing animations.

[[File:Mk64yoshivalley4.png|thumb|left|The Giant Egg from Yoshi Valley in ''Mario Kart 64'']]

Only one egg, called a [[Giant Egg]], makes an appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. It is located in [[N64 Yoshi Valley|Yoshi Valley]], near the last stretch before the grassy area and the finish line. The egg moves about in a circular pattern. When a player runs into it, the egg will smash the player, similar to when a player gets smashed when they are tiny. Maneuvering around this particular egg is difficult due to its tremendous size.

 

[[File:MKDD Yoshi Egg.png|thumb|100px|A Yoshi's Egg in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'']]

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the Yoshi's Egg is a [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|special item]], exclusive to [[Yoshi]], while it can also be used by [[Petey Piranha]] and [[King Boo]], since they can use any special item. When thrown, the Yoshi's Egg will home on the next place racer. If a player uses it while first, the egg will just follow down the track and break. Unlike the Red Shell, there is a certain amount of distance an egg needs before it cracks, and the red shell is continuous until it either goes off the course, goes into a wall, or hits the player. When it breaks, three random items will get thrown out, which can be [[Green Shell]]s, [[Mushroom]]s, [[Banana]]s, [[Super Star|Star]]s, or [[Bob-omb]]s.

 

Birdo's special item, the [[Birdo's Egg]], reuses the same texture design as a Yoshi's Egg but with magenta spots.  

The Yoshi's Egg appears as an item in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', in which it is known as the Rolling Egg. It is a special item exclusive to Yoshi which can be shot either forwards or backwards. Unlike the Yoshi's Egg in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', the Rolling Egg does not home in on opponents, but rather bounces off walls much like a [[Green Shell]]. The Rolling Egg also does not release items upon breaking.

In addition to the Rolling Egg, Yoshi has a special item called the [[Egg Rider|Egg Body]], which grants him a kart that is based on a Yoshi's Egg. This item is exclusive to the first ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' title.

In ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'', one of Yoshi's karts, called the [[Egg 1]] resembles a Yoshi's Egg. It has very high acceleration and handling, but low weight and drifting. In the [[DS Yoshi Falls|Yoshi Falls]] course, a giant Yoshi's Egg appears in the scenery, where it is seen floating in the middle of the lake between the cliff.

In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', the Yoshi's Egg appears only as an emblem on Yoshi's Karts and [[Bike]]s. There is also a giant Yoshi's Egg that appears in the retro course Yoshi Falls, taken from ''Mario Kart DS''.

In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', the Yoshi egg is once again Yoshi's emblem and it also makes small appearances throughout courses. The Egg 1 also comes back from ''Mario Kart DS''.

[[File:MK8 Yoshi Valley N64 Egg.jpg|thumb|left|The giant Yoshi's Egg from {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}} in ''Mario Kart 8'']]

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Yoshi's Eggs can also be seen throughout {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}}, as well as the giant one that appears on the track itself. The first DLC pack, released in November 2014, features the [[Egg Cup]], which uses a Yoshi's Egg as its emblem. Three Yoshi's Eggs also appear in a nest in the logo of the sponsor Yoshi's Egg Market.

The Yoshi's Egg is once again Yoshi's emblem in ''Mario Kart 8''. When using the different colors of Yoshis, the spots on the egg change color to match the respective Yoshi.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

====''Game & Watch Gallery 3''====

In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'', Yoshi Eggs appear in the Modern versions of two games.

 

 

====''Game & Watch Gallery 4''====

In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Yoshi Eggs reprise their roles in the Modern versions of ''Fire'' (except [[3-Up Moon]]s replace Super Stars) and ''Chef''. Also, a Yoshi Egg-shaped balloon appears as one of the balloons lifting Yoshi in a hammock in the [[Message Board]].

 

===''Yoshi's Story''===

[[File:YS-Six Yoshi Eggs.png|thumb|300px|Six eggs in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'']]

Yoshi eggs are laid automatically in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' when an enemy is eaten, but the eggs are still used as projectile weapons. Unlike in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', the eggs hold no special effects, although eggs thrown by the White and Black Yoshis have more of an explosive impact. When a Yoshi eats a colored Shy Guy, it lays a Yoshi egg with spots that match the colored Shy Guy, including [[Black Shy Guy (Yoshi's Story)|Black Shy Guy]]s, though black-spotted eggs do not explode when thrown unless the Black Yoshi or White Yoshi is active. Every other enemy that can be eaten by a Yoshi automatically produces a green-spotted egg. The spots on Egg Blocks match the color of the current Yoshi and the spots on eggs they contain after being hit (in the Japanese version, the color of the Egg Blocks' and the eggs' spots is always green). In the [[Yoshi Demo|tech demo port]], the eggs appear as flat 2D sprites with an outline and indicate Yoshi's health alongside the [[Health Meter#Yoshi's Story|Smile Meter]].

 

The treasure for the [[Defeat the Giant Spear Man (2-3)|third story]] of the "[[Invade Wario Castle]]" chapter in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' resembles a Yoshi's egg.

 

Throughout the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, three of Yoshi's special moves involve utilizing Yoshi's Eggs in some way. Yoshi's neutral special move, [[Egg Lay]], lets him swallow opponents and turn them into eggs, temporarily stunning them. His [[Egg Throw]] is his up special move, and for his side special move, [[Egg Roll (move)|Egg Roll]] (introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''), Yoshi can encase himself in an egg and roll around. Also, his [[smashwiki:shield|shield]] makes him encase himself into an egg.

 

A single Yoshi egg appears in one of the events of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. In it, Yoshi must keep the Yoshi egg from breaking. If it is broken, the player fails. If time runs out and the Yoshi egg is not broken, the player wins. In the twelfth event "Sleeping in the Eggs" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Yoshi must simultaneously capture [[Kirby]] and [[Pikachu]] inside Yoshi eggs.

 

 

 

 

Yoshi eggs appear in ''[[Mario Tennis Open]]'' during the animations of the colored Yoshis winning the Champions Cup and Final Cup. They eat the trophy and lay an egg that breaks and reveals the trophy. The spots on the eggs have the same color as their respective Yoshis.

[[File:MP8 Yoshi Icon.png|thumb|The Yoshi's Egg emblem as seen in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.]]

In most ''Mario Party'' games, the Yoshi's Egg appeared as one of the objects in various minigames. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', Yoshi's Eggs appear as items in the minigame [[Messy Memory]]. Yoshi and Birdo's signature orb in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' is the [[Egg Orb]], which transforms any [[Character Space]] (including [[Koopa Kid Space]]s) into a Yoshi's Egg. Also, Yoshi's Eggs appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' as an item in [[Puzzle Pronto]], [[Tile Savvy]] (only in [[Time Attack (Mario Party: Island Tour)|Time Attack]]), and [[Three House]]. Yoshi's Eggs also appear in the Yoshi amiibo board in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. A Yoshi's Egg is also seen on a card in the ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'' minigame [[Top It Off]].

A multi-colored Yoshi's Egg appears in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' in [[Glitzville]]. After Mario defeats [[Spike Storm]] in the [[Glitz Pit]], the owner of the [[Hot Dog Stand]], [[Mr. Hoggle]], can be found chasing an egg that he wants to use to make the [[List of implied items#Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness|Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness]] for his new menu, but is unable to catch it as the egg bounces away from him. After Mario catches up to it, the egg starts following him around in the field, but stays out of battles. When Mario returns to the locker room after losing his fight against [[The Iron Adonis Twins]], he finds that the egg hatched into a [[Yoshi Kid]], who joins his party. Befitting his species, the Yoshi is capable of laying and throwing eggs as his super rank technique: Mini-Egg. The eggs used in this attack have the property of shrinking whichever enemy they hit.

 

In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', a Yoshi Egg acts as a pinball that Mario can buy at [[Toad's tent]], obtain from certain ? Blocks, or receive from a roulette after getting a [[question mark]]. If a Yoshi Egg goes to a different area from the one Mario is in in a [[level]], the egg can be found when he enters that area as well, or vice versa. In addition to the regular green-spotted Yoshi Egg, there is also a '''Special Egg'''{{ref needed}} that is red with white stars instead of spots. A Special Egg can be obtained from a red ! Block that appears in a level's boss area after all the level's Red Coins are collected, but only if the player does not already have an item. When used, a Special Egg combines the effects of multiple items found in the game. As well as the player being given a second ball, like when using a Yoshi Egg, both balls are giant (the effect of a [[Mega Mushroom]]), and the drain at the bottom of the screen is blocked (same as when using a [[Warp Pipe|Pipe]]), meaning Mario cannot lose a life. Mario also becomes invincible (as if he used an [[Super Star|Invincibility Star]]). There are only four Special Eggs available to be found in the game, and upon collecting or using one, Mario yells, "Special!"<ref>{{cite|author=Brian|date=December 16, 2014|url=retroachievements.org/Achievement/18879|title=Mario Pinball Land (Game Boy Advance): Red Yoshi Egg|publisher=Retro Achievements|accessdate=December 4, 2015}}</ref>

[[File:MSB Piranha Panic Screenshot.png|thumb|left|Yoshi's Eggs being thrown at Piranha Plants in ''Mario Superstar Baseball'']]

Yoshi's Eggs are shown prominently in the minigame [[Piranha Panic]] in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. Players must throw eggs with the corresponding color (red, blue, green, or yellow) to a Piranha Plant to earn coins. Otherwise, the Piranha Plant throws fire toward the player. Purple Piranha Plants shoot fire at all four players, but they are vulnerable to all colors of the eggs.

Yoshi eggs serve as the objectives of the [[Dream Equestrian]] in the [[Wii]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Wii)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''. In the event, players must race to the finish line, carrying a wagon full of seven colored Yoshis (red, blue, yellow, pink, light-blue, black and white) while avoiding obstacles. If an egg falls off the wagon, a 10 second penalty will be added to the player's time upon completing the event.

A single red Yoshi egg is found in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' as a key item, and the third item collected during a series of item trades pertaining to a sidequest in [[Wakeport]]. Mario and Luigi are given this item from a red [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] in the hotel district in northeast Wakeport after they give him the [[Rare Fruit (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)|Rare Fruit]].

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', the Yoshi in the mission "[[Yoshi Rush]]" eats three berries, creating Yoshi's Eggs. The Yoshi's Eggs trail behind the Yoshi during the race, and can be kicked at the Mario Bros. in order to slow them down.

====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====

''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' has a Yoshi's Egg being the symbol and main weapon for the new attack Hatch Me if You Can, where Mario and Luigi have to pass one before smashing it into the targeted enemy, after which a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] pops out and attacks the target with a [[Ground Pound]].<ref>https://youtu.be/h9JPSwIcJ7g</ref>

===''Mario Golf'' series===

In ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Sports Superstars]]'', a Yoshi egg is seen in Yoshi's post-hole animations when he scores above par. He turns into an egg when he gets a bogey, but when he gets a double bogey or worse, the egg also rolls around and hits the camera. Giant Yoshi eggs also appear in [[Yoshi Lake]], with smaller ones being the tee markers.

 

During [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] special shot, the Eggschanger, when the ball lands near other balls, the balls turn into Yoshi Eggs. When transformed, the ball will wobble when bounced. They are also used during the Egg Rush event in Battle Golf. These balls are known as Egg Balls in the Target Golf mode.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===

While Yoshi's Eggs do not appear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' as weapons (having been replaced with [[yarn ball]]s), one made of yarn appears during Yoshi's transformation after entering a [[Transformation Door]]. Another one that has different colors of spots on it represents the [[Wonderful World of Wool]] level on the world map. A Yoshi's Egg is also used as the icon for Classic Mode and the world list on the world map's pause menu, and doilies with Yoshi's Egg designs with spots matching each world's theme color appear on the ground at each of the entrances on [[Craft Island]].

 

In the {{file link|The Super Mario Bros Movie teaser poster.jpg|teaser poster}} for ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', a green Yoshi's Egg can be seen in the antiques store. In the movie itself, a [[Shy Guy]] brings a Yoshi's Egg to Bowser's and [[Princess Peach|Peach]]'s wedding as a wedding gift. Later in the post-credits scene, that same Yoshi's Egg is seen sitting in rubble in the sewer in [[Brooklyn]] that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] entered at the beginning of the film. The egg begins to hatch and [[Yoshi]]'s voice is heard as the screen cuts to black.

 

A Yoshi egg is an item in several games of the [[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|''Animal Crossing'' series]].

In the [[Yoshi's Island Zone]] DLC level of the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', the player can obtain Yoshi Eggs by hitting an [[Egg Block]] like in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series; however, they cannot be used as a projectile weapon. The player has to instead take the Yoshi Eggs to the end of the level, where they will hatch into Yoshis and give [[extra life|extra lives]]. If an enemy hits the player, they will lose all of their Yoshi Eggs.
