Goonie

Flying and flightless

Goonies are white birds in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story. They appear in most mountain levels and are always in groups. They have many differnt behaviors, some fly and carry items, the flightless ones run along the ground causing a blockade.

Jumping on their heads is a good way to hitch a ride. But when they flock together air traffic makes a big obsticle. A zombified version of the goonie is a Skeleton Goonie, which usually carries bombs.

A different variation of Goonie involves grey ones, which flock around oceans.

In Yoshi's Story, Goonies appear only in Stage 3-3: Poochy & Nippy. Grey ones appear in Stage 5-4: Pirates Ahoy!
