ARed Egg[1][2] is a type ofYoshi's Egg appearing mainly in theYoshi's Island series.
History[edit]
Yoshi's Island series[edit]
Red Eggs are throwable objects inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (andits reissue),Yoshi's Island DS, andYoshi's New Island. If a Green Egg recoils two times off a wall, the egg turns into a Red Egg, which aYoshi can catch and add to his supply of eggs. However, if the egg recoils too much, it falls offscreen. Red Eggs can also be obtained from red-spottedEgg Blocks, though unlike with a green-spotted Egg Block, a Yoshi gets only one egg. When Red Eggs hit an enemy, twostars appear where the impact was.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
Red Eggs return inYoshi's Crafted World, where they are once again created by a Green Egg hitting a wall twice before being recollected or hitting an enemy. They give threehearts to Yoshi when used to defeat an enemy, with the hearts automatically being collected upon spawning, unlike in prior games where the stars had to be manually grabbed.

Notes[edit]
- While official artwork for Red Eggs consistently depicts them with white shells, their sprites inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (andits reissue) andYoshi's Island DS feature yellow shells. This detail is removed inYoshi's New Island andYoshi's Crafted World, which change the shell color to match the artwork.
