'''Thorns''', or '''Crystals''' are [[spikes|spiky]] obstacles found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its sequel ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', they are found mostly in castles. Contact with them will immediately kill a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], making them very dangerous. Luckily, a [[Yoshi Egg]] will destroy a single thorn, though since thorns are usually found in groups and [[Yoshi]] can only carry six Yoshi Eggs at a time, most thorn groups are impossible to completely destroy. However, [[Baby Donkey Kong]] explosive eggs can easily destroy a group of them in one shot.

Thorns
“Do not touch the thorns. They will knock you out! You can destroy the thorns by hitting them with eggs.”
Message Block in The Potted Ghost's Castle, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Thorns, also referred to as crystals,[1] spike blocks,[2] or simply spikes,[3] appear in the Super Mario franchise as spiky obstacles found mostly in castle levels in the Yoshi's Island series, including Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (and its reissue), Yoshi's Island DS, and Yoshi's New Island. Touching a thorn immediately causes a Yoshi to lose a life. A Yoshi Egg destroys a single thorn, but since thorns are found usually in groups and a Yoshi can carry only six Yoshi Eggs at a time, most thorn groups cannot be destroyed, though Baby DK's explosive eggs in Yoshi's Island DS can easily destroy a group of them in one shot. Some thorns reveal Winged Clouds when destroyed, and in The Potted Ghost's Castle, one specific thorn reveals even a door.
