History
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake, Cactus Jack only appear in two levels: Watch Out For Lakitu and The Cave Of The Mystery Maze. They stand on not only the ground, but also tracks. Cactus Jacks can be moved if a Yoshi throws a Yoshi's egg at them. If they come into contact with anything when rolling, they explode and shoot out coins.
Unused appearances
Yoshi's New Island
Cactus Jacks were going to appear in Yoshi's New Island where their eyes and coloration would look more similar to standard Pokeys, as there is a model with a set of animations, but they were removed from the final game.[3]
