It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information. Reason: include information about their appearance in Yoshi Touch & Go
Template:Species-infobox Needlenoses[1], or Needles[1], are enemies first appearing in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They are a type of Pokey that take the shape of a yellow or green spiky ball with a smiling face. They are used as projectiles by certain enemies to attack Yoshi.
History
Yoshi's Island series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Both the green and yellow variations debut in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 as common enemies. Yellow Needlenoses are dropped by Baron von Zeppelins, spat out by Blow Hards and Wild Ptooie Piranhas or thrown by Seedy Sallies in Yoshi's direction and will pop when they hit a surface or Yoshi himself. Green Needlenoses, on the other hand, are often seen bouncing on top of Pokey cactuses, but some are also carried by Baron von Zeppelins and will bounce on the ground after they land. Green Needlenoses are also emitted by Sanbo Flowers if Yoshi has less than six eggs, although they simply fall off the screen and do not come in contact with any surface in any way.
Needlenoses can hurt Yoshi if he simply touches them. However, they can be defeated by eating and spitting them at other enemies, or ingesting and turning them into eggs.
Yoshi's Island DS
Needlenoses reappear in Yoshi's Island DS, where they are additionally used by Priscilla the Peckish to attack.
Yoshi's New Island
Needlenoses appear once again in Yoshi's New Island, where they act the same way as in previous appearances.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
A yellow Needlenose appears in the artwork used for Ukiki's spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, .
