An '''egg''' is an item found in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. They can be used as projectiles, used mainly by [[Yoshi]] to help [[Mario]] on his quest or in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', a projectile in order to defeat [[Birdo]], who spat them out. In other games, they are a helpful item or a hindering item depending on the game and the time.  
'''Eggs''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are items and objects, acting either helpful or as hindrances.

===''Donkey Kong Jr.''===
====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' are obstacles occasionally dropped by [[Nitpicker]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] touches an egg, he loses a life.
[[file:sMB2 Egg.png|thumb|Birdo spitting an egg at Mario in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''.]]
The egg's first appearance by game was ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' in a dream place called [[Subcon]]. Eggs appeared as a projectile when fighting [[Birdo]] when she spits them out to attack. In order to defeat Birdo, the player must stand on the egg while it's flying and pick it up and toss it back to Birdo. In later boss fights with Birdo, she may spit out fireballs instead of eggs and in the last Birdo fights, she spits out only fireballs and the player must use projectiles nearby to attack Birdo. [[Robirdo]] also shoots large eggs out of its mouth-like cannon and attacking Robirdo was in a similar matter to attacking regular Birdo.


====''Super Mario World''====
===''Pinball / VS. Pinball''===
[[File:Mariocastle.gif|thumb|A rescued Yoshi Egg in ''Super Mario World''.]]
{{multiframe|[[File:Pinball Egg.png]]|bg=black}}
Yoshi eggs make a small appearance in this game. When Bowser occupies [[Dinosaur Land]], he imprisons several of Yoshi's friends in eggs. There are two types: Eggs that produce ride-able Yoshis and eggs containing the dinosaurs rescued at the end of each world. The eggs that produce ride-able yoshis are found in the [[Star World]].
Eggs in ''[[Pinball (game)|Pinball]]'' and ''[[Pinball (game)|VS. Pinball]]'' appear in [[scene B]], where there are three of them. If the ball touches an egg, it hatches into a [[chick]]. If all three eggs hatch into chicks, an [[up-post]] appears in between the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s.


====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
===''Wario's Woods''===
[[Image:Egg planet.PNG|thumb|left|200px|The Egg Planet from ''Super Mario Galaxy''.]]
[[File:PieceCreatureEgg.gif|frame]]
A galaxy named [[Good Egg Galaxy]] is the first galaxy in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. There is a [[Good Egg Galaxy#Egg Planet|planet]] shaped like a [[Yoshi Egg]], making it a cameo appearance for Yoshi. Also, when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] cracks an egg when landing on the last planet in the mission "Dino Piranha", a [[Dino Piranha]] will come out of the egg, wandering around at first. When Mario destroys it with the Dino Piranha's tail, the tail destroys the egg, leaving Dino Piranha in a rage.  
In the [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES version of ''Wario's Woods'']], '''Creature Eggs'''{{ref needed}} are items that can be achieved whenever [[Toad]] performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.


An egg could also be found in [[Melty Molten Galaxy]], but that egg contained Fiery Dino Piranha, which behaved in almost the same manner as Dino Piranha, except with a fiery tone.
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
{{br}}
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' are yellow and can be spit out by [[Squawks]] to defeat most enemies.


====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Giant eggs in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' appear in [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Krow's Nest]] and [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest level)|Kreepy Krow]], where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the [[Kong]]s. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.
[[File:SMG2 Yoshiegg.png|thumb|Yoshi's egg in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', [[Yoshi]] would hatch from his egg if Mario jumps on it. Also, [[Peewee Piranha]] hatches from a giant egg, as well as [[Dino Piranha]] and [[Fiery Dino Piranha]] (who returned from the previous game) in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]].

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In all [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]], eggs have made an appearance as an item. They can be thrown at opponents, or eaten for health. They are sometimes released by the [[Pokémon]] Chansey. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage, Birdo appears in her original sprite from the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', shooting eggs. These eggs travel in a straight line and cause minimal damage, but they can be picked up and thrown for considerably more damage. A spotted [[Yoshi Egg]] also appeared once in an Event Match in which Yoshi must protect it from other foes.
Eggs in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health. The latter game's Egg [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] identifies them as representing the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but not the ''Super Mario'' franchise.


Eggs also serve as special moves for Yoshi. Up special will make Yoshi throw one egg at a time in the air. Yoshi has an unlimited supply of eggs and he can aim them while throwing them. Yoshi's Side Special will make him go in a egg and roll around at high speeds, making it powerful, but hard to control. Yoshi also has an egg for a shield, unlike everyone else, who has a bubble.

===''Wario's Woods''===
Eggs in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are rare items that restore five [[Heart Point|HP]]. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of [[Mt. Rugged]] where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in [[Jade Jungle]], in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of [[Peach's Castle]] as a special item and are used to make the [[Special Strawberry Cake]] for [[Gourmet Guy]] during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.
[[File:PieceCreatureEgg.gif|thumb|right]]
In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', Creature Eggs are items that can be achieved whenever [[Toad]] performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.


===''Paper Mario''===
Eggs were later replaced by [[Mystic Egg]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where they function identically and [[Big Egg]]s in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Eggs restore five [[Heart Point|HP]]. Eggs are quite rare in the game, Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of [[Mt. Rugged]] where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in [[Jade Jungle]], in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of [[Princess Peach's Castle]] and are used to make Strawberry Cake for [[Gourmet Guy]]. In this case, it's item description reads: Newly laid eggs.


In the sequels there is a [[Mystic Egg]] and a [[Big Egg]] with the same function.

====''Mario Party 5''====
Eggs in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]] are objects appearing as battle gimmicks of [[Birdo]], who may occasionally inhale [[Popple]] and spit out multiple egg capsules in his stead. One contains Popple, the others contain pink [[Bob-omb]]-like enemies that dash through a random bro. The eggs break after some hits, releasing Popple, and allowing him to be attacked again.
In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the egg only appears in Super Duel Mode, called the Egg Body. According to the description, it is made out of Yoshi eggs. This body is durable and it increases a machine's offensive and defensive capabilities. The Yoshi opponent in the tournament uses this body.

An egg appears in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' in form of the [[Egg Orb]]. Only Yoshi and Birdo can acquire it and use it. When used, the Egg Orb will activate and will last the turn. If Yoshi and Birdo passes a trap space while the Egg Orb is in effect, Yoshi and Birdo will turn it into an egg and the orb will become theirs to use. The Egg Orb can also deactivate Koopa Kid spaces, but it will not be available for use.

An egg called a [[Smash Egg]] can be obtained by either defeating enemies or purchasing from shops. When used, the person who selected it in battle will kick the egg into an enemy. The big brother may use it to attack the enemy while the babies may jump on it to make the egg faster and stronger. When bounced enough times on an enemy, the egg will crack, sometimes having an item inside it. The Smash Egg is first found in Yoshi's Island.

Eggs take in form as power swings in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]''. Used by [[Yoshi]] and [[Birdo]], with the names, [[Egg Ball]] and [[Weird Ball]], they are unique power swings. While most star swings go in one direction and bounces once before stopping, the egg balls will bounce about erratically, making it difficult to catch the ball. What can make it more difficult is that it may bounce on the field and then bounce to the foul zone. However, in other cases, the ball will be caught right when it lands. When used while pitching, both balls will move about erratically also, making it very hard to hit it. Some cases, however, it may be called as a ball.
<references/>
 
An egg may be obtained by the Toad Shop in Challenge Mode. To do so, the player must be or recruited Yoshi in order to purchase it. Same goes to Birdo and the Pink Egg. After either of the eggs has been purchased, it gives Yoshi or Birdo a permanent ability to use the Egg Ball or the Weird Ball. Both can be bought for 200 coins and buying it will result a star mission star for Yoshi and Birdo according to which was bought.
 
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
[[Image:BirdoCannonSwing.png|thumb|right|Birdo executing her Cannon Swing in ''Mario Super Sluggers''.]]
The egg-based Power Swings make a return into ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. They both acted nearly identical to the preceding game, but they got different names for the shots and swings. Yoshi's Egg Ball is now called Rainbow Swing and Rainbow Ball while Birdo's Pink Egg is now called [[Cannon Swing]] and Suction Ball. The appearance of the Birdo Egg also changed; from a pink spot pattern to a pink ribbon pattern depicting Birdo.

Except in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', [[Squawks the Parrot]] can spit yellow eggs. By doing this, he can knock out enemies that are in his way.
Giant eggs can be found in the levels [[Krow|Krow's Nest]] and [[Kreepy Krow]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. Krow and Kreepy Krow drop these, attempting to harm the [[Kong]]s. In the battle with Krow, some of them can be picked up and thrown at the boss; this is the only way to defeat the giant vulture.
==Types of eggs==
===Yoshi Eggs===
{{main|Yoshi Egg}}
The Yoshi Egg is the most common type of egg in the ''Mario'' series. They are generally found everywhere, spawning from blocks to laying them from Yoshi. Yoshi eggs usually serve for a benefiting purpose especially for [[Yoshi]] since he couldn't go on his quest in most of the games in the ''Yoshi series'' without the use of eggs. Other Yoshis use them too, and some lay eggs corresponding to the color of them, as seen in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga''. The Yoshi Egg is also Yoshi's signature emblem in various games.
<br clear=all>
===Birdo Eggs===
[[Image:Birdo_egg.PNG|frame|left]]
{{main|Birdo Egg}}
Although recent games have proven that [[Birdo (species)|Birdo]]s can spit pink Yoshi Eggs, most Birdo Eggs are non-spotted. A Birdo will spit Birdo Eggs out of its cannon-like snout, and uses the eggs like bullets. The player can jump on these to get a free ride, and sometimes, like in level 4-3 of ''Super Mario Advance'', a Birdo egg had to be ridden. Birdo also uses it as an item in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and it acted the exact same as the [[Yoshi Egg]]. A Birdo Egg typically has pink spots, but as seen in Super Sluggers, the Birdo Egg instead has pink ribbon patterns all over it instead of spots.
{{br}}
===Mystic Egg===
[[Image:Mystic_egg.PNG|frame]]
{{main|Mystic Egg}}
Found only in the [[Boggly Woods]], Mystic Eggs are from an unknown creature.  Nobody knows where to find them except the [[Puni]] girl, [[Petuni]]. For a certain favor, Mario can obtain Mystic Eggs from Petuni during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Like in its prequel, the egg recovers five HP and may be used in all sorts of recipes.
===Smash Eggs===
[[Image:Smash Egg.png|frame|left]]
{{main|Smash Egg}}
The Smash Egg made its only appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. It resembles a Yoshi egg, except it has yellow stars instead of green spots. The Smash Egg was used as a Bros. Item that was first obtained in Yoshi's Island. It could hit multiple opponents at a time and it may release an item after it hits the enemies enough times.
===Creature Eggs===
Creature Eggs made their first (and only) appearance in the SNES version of ''[[Wario's Woods]]''. Creature Eggs appear whenever [[Toad]] performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. Upon landing on the opponent's side, the creature eggs will hatch into any one of the monsters of assorted colors. These eggs can be prevented from hatching, though they must be matched up with the monsters of their same color in order do so. Creature Eggs bear a strong resemblance to Yoshi Eggs.
===Krow's eggs===
[[Image:Krow_Egg_DKC2.png|frame|left]]
[[Image:Krow_Egg_DKL2.png|frame|right]]
Eggs that [[Krow]] and his ghost, [[Kreepy Krow]], use during the battles with them in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. When thrown by the living version of Krow, these eggs can hurt the [[Kong]]s. Nevertheless, at some point the primates can pick up the eggs and throw them at the boss in order to defeat him.

This article is about the recurring object in the series. For other uses of the term "Egg", see Egg (disambiguation).
Egg
An egg used by Princess Peach after Chapter 4 of Paper Mario
First appearance Donkey Kong Jr. (1982)
Latest appearance Arcade Archives: Donkey Kong Jr. (2018)

Eggs in the Super Mario franchise are items and objects, acting either helpful or as hindrances.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Jr.[edit]

Eggs in Donkey Kong Jr. are obstacles occasionally dropped by Nitpickers, and if Donkey Kong Jr. touches an egg, he loses a life.

Pinball / VS. Pinball[edit]

An egg from Pinball.

Eggs in Pinball and VS. Pinball appear in scene B, where there are three of them. If the ball touches an egg, it hatches into a chick. If all three eggs hatch into chicks, an up-post appears in between the flippers.

Wario's Woods[edit]

PieceCreatureEgg.gif

In the SNES version of Wario's Woods, Creature Eggs[citation needed] are items that can be achieved whenever Toad performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Eggs in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! are yellow and can be spit out by Squawks to defeat most enemies.

Giant eggs in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest appear in Krow's Nest and Kreepy Krow, where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the Kongs. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Eggs in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health. The latter game's Egg trophy identifies them as representing the Super Smash Bros. series, but not the Super Mario franchise.

Paper Mario[edit]

Egg
An egg in Paper Mario
Paper Mario description An egg of unknown origin. Restores 5 HP.
An egg used by Princess Peach after Chapter 4 of Paper Mario

Eggs in Paper Mario are rare items that restore five HP. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of Mt. Rugged where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in Jade Jungle, in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of Peach's Castle as a special item and are used to make the Special Strawberry Cake for Gourmet Guy during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.

Eggs were later replaced by Mystic Eggs in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where they function identically and Big Eggs in Super Paper Mario, where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.

Eggs can be used in the following recipes, resulting in the following cooked items:

Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)[edit]

Eggs in the Game Boy Advance version of Mario Bros. are random items that players can find inside of a garbage can and throw to break it and reveal one of three items inside: a coin, Heart or Starman. Eggs in Mario Bros. have the same sprite as Birdo's Eggs.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Eggs in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake are objects appearing as battle gimmicks of Birdo, who may occasionally inhale Popple and spit out multiple egg capsules in his stead. One contains Popple, the others contain pink Bob-omb-like enemies that dash through a random bro. The eggs break after some hits, releasing Popple, and allowing him to be attacked again.

Mario Superstar Baseball[edit]

An egg in Mario Superstar Baseball is an item in Challenge Mode which costs 200 coins to buy, and grants Yoshi the ability to use his special hits and pitches.

Eggs are basically the same as Capsules, in that they'll release items when you break them open. They've been known to explode, too. The likelihood that certain items may be inside Eggs depends on the type of stage being played. Sometimes Eggs will contain health-replenishing food items; other times, they may hold weapons.
