'''Burt the Bashful''' is the first mini-boss you meet in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', in World 1-4. To defeat him, the yellow Yoshi must hit him with 4 or 5 eggs, each time ducking underneath the platform in crevices to keep [[Baby Mario]] protected. When he is defeated his pants fall off and he turns red, eventually imploding. As stated on the official Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 website, "you can't fight while your pants are falling down!"
