Egg Blocks, also called Egg Boxes,[1] are spotted blocks that dispense Yoshi's Eggs for Yoshis to use.
History[edit]
Yoshi's Island series[edit]
In the Yoshi's Island series, each time an Egg Block is hit from below, a Yoshi's egg is dispensed, unless the Yoshi already has six eggs with him. Besides the common green-spotted Egg Blocks, there are also Yellow, Red, and Flashing Egg Blocks, which, when hit, turn into a single Yellow Egg, Red Egg, or Flashing Egg, respectively. Any Egg Block can be stood on. Hitting an Egg Block from a certain side pushes eggs out in the opposite direction.
In Yoshi's New Island, two new Egg Block varieties are introduced. One of them releases Mega Eggdozers, while the other one releases Metal Eggdozers. Both of them are four times bigger than a normal Egg Block (looking like green-spotted Expansion Blocks). The earlier variety is white, while the latter is black.
Yoshi's Story[edit]
All Egg Blocks in Yoshi's Story sport green spots and sway slightly. In Western releases, the spots on every Egg Block match the color of the Yoshi being played instead.
Super Mario Sunshine[edit]
In Super Mario Sunshine, Egg Blocks (localized as spotted blocks and spotted boxes)[2] are platforms in the secret courses of Pinna Park. Most have green spots, but there are some that have magenta, blue, and black ones.
Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]
Egg Blocks are replaced by similarly designed objects known as Yarn Baskets in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. They can pop open halfway when hit, showing they literally contain yarn balls. Yarn balls are the game's equivalent to Yoshi eggs. Hitting a Yarn Basket from the bottom releases one yarn ball, and hitting it with a yarn ball from any side releases three at once. This respects the maximum number of yarn balls that a Yoshi can currently carry, so more yarn balls cannot appear if there are as many or more yarn balls in the course as that maximum. Sometimes, a Yarn Basket makes a big yarn ball instead of a normal yarn ball. If a Yoshi is using the "Make all yarn balls big!" Power Badge, Yarn Baskets always release a number of big yarn balls to fill the Yoshi up to the maximum number of yarn balls no matter how they are hit. In Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, if a Yoshi is in Mellow Mode or has switched from Mellow Mode to Classic Mode without scrolling the Yarn Basket off the screen at any point afterward, Yarn Baskets appear to be empty. This ties into the functionality of the Poochy Pups, who can optionally replace yarn balls in Mellow Mode. While the Poochy Pups are out, Yarn Baskets do not release yarn balls. However, they still release yarn balls when the Poochy Pups are in their button, even though they appear not to contain yarn balls.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
Egg Blocks in Yoshi's Crafted World uniquely dispense eggs depending on which direction the Yoshi is facing.
WarioWare: Get It Together![edit]
Egg Blocks appear in levels 2 and 3 of the Yoshi's Story microgame in WarioWare: Get It Together![3][4]
Other appearances[edit]
Egg Blocks appear in the Yoshi's Island Zone stage of Sonic Lost World, though three Yoshi Eggs can ever emerge from them, regardless of how many are following Sonic.
