Harry Hedgehogs are enemies in theYoshi's Island series. They first appear inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and return in itsremakeYoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 and the series' third installment,Yoshi's New Island. In all three appearances, Harry Hedgehogs continuously and quickly move between two sides of a platform. If aYoshi gets too close to one, the Harry Hedgehog stops in its tracks briefly and swells up, its spines sticking out. Harry Hedgehogs cannot be eaten while in their defensive position, but they can be defeated using afire watermelon, and they are otherwise edible and vulnerable to any attacks in their normal state.
Most games generally feature Harry Hedgehogs in only one level named after them. InSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Harry Hedgehogs only appear inThe Cave Of Harry Hedgehog, which is named after Harry Hedgehogs and prominently features them. InYoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Harry Hedgehogs were added in another level,Go! Go! Morphing! InYoshi's New Island, Harry Hedgehogs similarly only appear in a single level of their own,Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth.
Harry Hedgehogs are possibly a reference toSonic, since they are blue hedgehogs that move very fast. During the 16-bit era, which is whenSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was first released,Sonic the Hedgehog series producerSega often mocked the works ofNintendo, their main business rival at the time. The Harry Hedgehog may be a retaliation to these mockeries. However, in itsSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island artwork andYoshi's New Island in-game depiction, Harry Hedgehogs have purple spines.
