If Blue Yoshi jumps into or over the sand that she inhabits at the wrong time, Priscilla may eat him, causing him to lose all of his eggs. Blue Yoshi can jump from platform to platform in Priscilla's path to lure her out of her sand pit and throw an egg at her. Alternatively, a Glide Guy may come out and lure her; however, this second method happens periodically and can therefore take quite some time. She also spits Pokeys. Upon being defeated, she shrinks and hides herself back in the sand.
