Yoshi Egg

A Yoshi Egg is an item and occasionally a projectile used in the Mario and Yoshi series. The first Yoshi egg in a video game appeared in Super Mario World. In Super Mario World, Yoshies would pop out of the eggs when Mario or Luigi found them. Once a Yoshi would eat 10 pieces of fruit, he would eject an egg, and a special item would pop out of it depending on what color the Yoshi was.

In the video game Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi would produce eggs when ever he would swallow an enemy. He would also find eggs while hitting special types of blocks. This game marked the first video game in which Yoshi was able to toss the eggs, and use them as projectiles against enemies. This ability was also available in the video games Yoshi's Story, and Yoshi's Island DS.

In Yoshi's Touch & Go, Yoshi would produce eggs by eating fruit. Each fruit would give the Yoshi a certain amount of eggs to Yoshi.
