'''Cloud N. Candy''' is a boss in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', fought at the end of [[Cloud Cruising]]. Her name, as well as the character herself, is a pun on "{{wp|cloud}}" and "{{wp|cotton candy}}." She is a colossal, buoyant, smiling cloud composed of fluffy yellow candy. In order to defeat Cloud N. Candy, a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] has to lick her, which will pick off pieces of her, causing her to shrink until she is fully eaten. Cloud N. Candy jumps during the fight, damaging the player if they touch her, and as she gets smaller, she becomes quicker and more agile. Each time she is licked, the player will recover some [[Health Meter|health]].


'''Cloud N. Candy''' is one of the easiest bosses (if not ''the'' easiest boss) to defeat in the entire [[Marioverse]]. Cloud N. Candy only appears in the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. This boss is a massive cloud made up of fluffy yellow candy. To defeat this monster, [[Yoshi]] simply has to lick up the clouds and eat his candy body. However, Yoshi does have to watch out for Cloud N. Candy's (easily avoided) [[Jump]] attack. After repeated licks, Cloud N. Candy will disappear into nothingness (just like real candy).
Artwork for Cloud N. Candy can be used as a stamp in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''.
