Sluggers use their baseball bats to return [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s that [[Yoshi]] throws at them, which will push Yoshi backwards upon contact, but can also be jumped on. This mechanic is occasionally used as a method of obtaining certain [[Smiley Flower]]s. As well as returning any eggs thrown at them, Sluggers will also return [[Chomp Rock]]s and seeds spat from a [[Watermelon (Yoshi's Island series)|Watermelon]]. Sluggers cannot be grabbed by Yoshi's tongue, but can be defeated by [[Ground Pound]]ing or jumping on them thrice. Sluggers later appear in the remake of the original game, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', and also in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', in which they act identically to the first game.


'''Sluggers''' are yellow [[Bandit]]s that hold baseball bats around the time of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and the sequel, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. They use teamwork with their green-colored counterparts, [[Green Glove]]s. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] throws an [[Yoshi Egg]] toward one, the Sluggers will hit it back with the bat. Although it won't hurt them, it might push them. If a Yoshi throws a [[Chomp Rock]] at them, they will hit it back at Yoshi.
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Slugger and a Green Glove appear together in the same [[spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]].


If Yoshi's hit it can knock him off a platform and into a bottomless pit. [[Ground Pound]]ing their heads or stepping on them repeatedly will defeat them. They can be used to reach items like [[Flower]]s that are out of reach by ricocheting an egg off a wall.

Sluggers, also referred to as a Baseball Boy Slugger,[1] are a type of yellow Bandit that first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island that often appear alongside Green Gloves as part of the Baseball Boys. Sluggers use their baseball bats to return eggs that Yoshi throws at them, which will push Yoshi backwards upon contact, but can also be jumped on. This mechanic is occasionally used as a method of obtaining certain Smiley Flowers. As well as returning any eggs thrown at them, Sluggers will also return Chomp Rocks and seeds spat from a Watermelon. Sluggers cannot be grabbed by Yoshi's tongue, but can be defeated by Ground Pounding or jumping on them thrice. Sluggers later appear in the remake of the original game, Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, and also in Yoshi's Island DS, in which they act identically to the first game.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a Slugger and a Green Glove appear together in the same spirit.
