The '''Egg Throw''' is a move used by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. This is his signature move and was first used in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. To use it Yoshi must first get a [[Yoshi Egg]]. Each throw uses one Yoshi Egg. The player must hold or press the aiming button to show a X-shaped cursor. It keeps going in the direction in which it is thrown until it hits a wall, ceiling, or ground, at which time it bounces. Also when it hits an enemy or bounces too many times, the egg will break. When it hits a wall, ceiling, or ground it bounces, especially useful in underground stages. If it bounces multiple times, it will change color, going from green to yellow to red, after which it will break. Most bosses in the Yoshi Series are defeated with this move.

In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' Yoshi doesn't have to aim because it is automatically aimed toward the nearest enemy. If no enemies are around, it is just thrown toward Yoshi's front. It can also chain to a couple of enemies. If it does this, not only will Yoshi have cleared the path more, but he will get 2 Coins per enemy, rather than just 1. Egg Throw is useful in the mission Behind Chain-Chomp's Gate because it can paralyze the [[Chain Chomp]] for a few seconds.

Egg Throw is also an attack that [[Yoshi]] can perform in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Series]]''. It is done by Pressing B and tilting the Control Stick up. Once done, Yoshi will proceed to hold the egg, aim it, and throw it, just like in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. However, In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Yoshi cannot aim it as well as he did in Yoshi's Island. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', he has a much wider range of fire. Also, in the Smash Bros. Series, unlike the Yoshi's Island series, the eggs will form an arc and starting falling, rather than keep on going in a constant direction. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] (but not [[Super Smash Bros.]] or [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]), Egg Throw somewhat acts as Yoshi's third jump, because he rises a little as he does the move.
