- “When it's pink, it tastes sweet. When it's blue, it tastes bitter.”
- —Message Block inThe Tall Tower,Yoshi's Story
Tehee Butterflies (orTeehee Butterflies),[1] also calledTehee Trampolines[2] in the context ofjumping on them asspringboards, are flying spherical insects that appear inYoshi's Story and theSuper Mario-kun manga. They fly around and change color from pink to blue. Eating a pink one restores aYoshi'shealth, but eating a blue one depletes it due to bitterness, as indicated by aMessage Block. If a Yoshi eats a blue Tehee Butterfly whileSuper Happy, the Super Happy effect ends early.
InSuper Mario-kun, theBaby Yoshis set out to find the legendary Tehee Butterfly so they can use its fabled restorative properties afterMario becomes exhausted. It seems harmless at first, but as the Yoshis attempt to catch it, it turns vicious and retaliates. It repeatedly plays cruel pranks on the Yoshis and giggles afterwards. AfterGreen Yoshi gets the upper hand and defeats the Tehee Butterfly, the Yoshis feed it to Mario. However, just before he eats it, the butterfly turns blue and has adverse effects.
The name of this enemy comes from the noise it makes when it changes colors.
