In most games featuring [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s, '''Yoshi Eggs''' are involved. Yoshis are known for being capable of laying [[egg]]s at will. They usually contain a [[Baby Yoshi]] or an [[Items|item]] inside. The Yoshi Eggegg is also [[Yoshi]]'s signature emblem in various games.

When [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] find one of these in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', a Yoshi hatches and it acts as a steed, allowing Mario and Luigi to ride it. Yoshi can swallow enemies with the {{button|snes|X}} or {{button|snes|Y}} button. If Mario or Luigi find another Yoshi Eggegg while an already-present Yoshi is nearby, a [[1-Up Mushroom]] will emerge instead, rather than another Yoshi. Mario will also rescue a yellow egg from each [[Castle#Super Mario World|Castle]] he encounters. These eggs do not hatch until the end of the game. According to the story, Bowser trapped all the Yoshis in eggs. All of the Yoshis that hatch from the eggs collected from Castles are all different colored Yoshis, yet all of the eggs are yellow.

There are also multi-colored Yoshi eggs that appear outside of item boxes in the [[Star World]] levels. Approaching one of these will cause it to hatch into a baby Yoshi, its color varies on the color of the egg. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', the remake for ''Super Mario World'', the bros. can find a Yoshi Eggegg of any color in a [[Question Block]] after using that Yoshi in the Star World.

Yoshi Eggseggs also appear in the challenge mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Deluxe]]''. Unlike [[Red Coin]]s which are five per each level, one can only find one Yoshi Eggegg. Yoshi Eggseggs may only be found from hidden blocks throughout the level. Collecting one egg earns the player 2,000 points. If the player collects all the eggs from each level, he will earn a reward. <br> After a player has found a Yoshi Eggegg and brought him to the end of the level, it will hatch.

To the left : the Challenge Mode progression indicator; a Yoshi Eggegg in a level; if it is collected, it will add an icon next to the Red Coins indicator; the Challenge Mode progression indicator, indicating that the Yoshi Eggegg has been collected.

Yoshi Eggseggs appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' as well. [[Shadow Mario]] possesses one in [[Delfino Plaza]] and the player needs to stop him by spraying him with [[F.L.U.D.D.]]. Then the player needs to get the correct [[fruit]] indicated by a small thought bubble over the egg. When the correct fruit is brought to the egg, a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] will hatch from it. However, if Mario brings the wrong fruit to Yoshi's egg, the egg will turn from side to side, as if trying to say "no".

[[File:SM64DS-Yoshi Square Egg.png|frame|A cubecuboid Yoshi Eggegg in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.]]

Yoshi eggs appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'' as a helpful projectile for Yoshi. They can be acquired by eating enemies and swallowing them to turn into Yoshi eggs. Unlike [[Yoshi's Island]], Yoshi can only carry one egg at a time. If Yoshi wants to stick his tongue out again, he must throw his egg in order to eat again. Yoshi Eggseggs will home enemies in screen and can bounce off enemies to hit another. If Yoshi swallows a wooden crate, the egg will take in form as a crate.

Eggs also appeared in both of Luigi's minigames, the [[Mario Slot]] and the Super Mario slot. Among the other slots, a Yoshi Eggegg is in them. Getting three Yoshi Eggseggs in a row will earn the player five coins.

The original ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' did not feature any Yoshi Eggseggs, but an [[List of Super Mario 64 beta elements|unused]] Egg texture can be found in the game's coding.

Yoshi returns in this game, hatching from a Yoshi egg when a player hits the block. The Yoshi egg acted in a similar manner in ''Super Mario World'', which Yoshi also hatches from an egg that got spawned from a certain block. However, no Yoshi eggs could make 1-up Mushrooms. Instead, [[Mushroom]]s popped out of Yoshi Eggseggs. Yoshi Eggseggs also come out briefly during the opening scene of Peach's birthday. It is notable that there is a larger than usual Yoshi Eggegg next to Mario wrapped in a bow.

[[File:YoshieggSMG2.png|thumb|130px|right|A Yoshi Eggegg in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]

The original ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' did not feature Yoshi Eggseggs as actual interactive objects, but there was a planet in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] which resembled a Yoshi Eggegg.

[[File:BlueyoshieggNSMBU.png|thumb|100px|A Bubble Baby Yoshi Eggegg from ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]

Yoshi Eggseggs reappear in the [[Wii U]] game ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. Green, blue, magenta and yellow colored Yoshi Eggseggs appear, which hatch adult [[Green Yoshi]]s, [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]]s, [[Balloon Baby Yoshi]]s and [[Glowing Baby Yoshi]]s, respectively. The eggs from which the [[Baby Yoshi]]s hatch appear to have the color palettes and the spots of the eggs switched.

In [[World 2 (Mario & Wario)|World 2]] of the game, the thing that Wario puts on Mario's head is half of a cracked Yoshi Eggegg.

The treasure for the third level "Invade Wario Castle" in ''[[Wario Land II]]'' resembles a Yoshi Eggegg.

[[File:ScreenYoshi.png|thumb|[[Yoshi (game)|''Yoshi'' (game)]] gameplay, with the bottom half of a Yoshi Eggegg seen in one of the rows.]]

In the puzzle game [[Yoshi (game)|''Yoshi'']], top and bottom halves of a Yoshi Eggegg appear on several occasions during gameplay. Stacking the two halves together will hatch a [[Baby Yoshi]], earning 50 pintspoints for the player. If a top half of the egg is by itself on the gameplay board, it will dissipate. But if a bottom piece is by itself, it will remain until a upper piece is found, or another falls on top of it. If other objects are stacked on top of the egg piece and a top piece falls on top of the pile, it will plow through the entire stack until it reaches its other half. This results in a different kind of Yoshi hatching from the egg, depending on how many enemies were caught between the two pieces. The kinds of Yoshis which can be hatched is seen below.

Unlike games that preceded it, Yoshi Eggseggs in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', are used as projectile weapons that are used by aiming and firing. Yoshis can lay eggs by swallowing enemies. Yoshis can also obtain these eggs by hitting an [[Egg Block]] that contains an unlimited supply of Yoshi eggs. The Yoshi can only carry 6 eggs at any time. Eggs can also fall into [[Tulip]]s in this game, resulting in the Tulip spitting out stars. There is the standard green egg, [[Yellow Egg]]s, [[Red Egg]]s, and [[Flashing Egg]]s. Each of the eggs, except the green egg, has a different effect.

[[File:YIDS-Bowser Holding Yoshi Egg.png|frame|left|[[Bowser]] holding a Yoshi Eggegg.]]

Yoshi eggs act the same way in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Flashing eggs make a cameo in Secret 5 as a tracker for which Easter Egg the player is on but are not usable in the game (in the original ''Yoshi's Island'', they provide a red coin). Large Yoshi Eggseggs appear in the two final battles against [[Bowser]]. During the battle, they float in from either side, attached to balloons. During the first battle, only one egg is supplied at a time. Yoshi can pick it up and throw it at Bowser to turn him on his back. If Bowser manages to reach the egg before Yoshi, he'll pick it up and throw it at Yoshi instead. During the second battle, when Bowser grows large, several Yoshis are seen on the screen at one time. Likewise, the balloon supplies several eggs, which can be thrown simultaneously at Bowser to inflict damage.

Eggs are a throwable weapon in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''. A single Yoshi Eggegg appears in one of the events of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. In it, Yoshi must keep the Yoshi Eggegg from breaking. If it is broken, the player fails. If time runs out and the Yoshi Eggegg isn't broken, the player wins. In the twelfth event "Sleeping in the Eggs" in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Yoshi must simultaneously capture [[Kirby]] and [[Pikachu]] inside Yoshi Eggseggs.

Additionally, throughout the entire [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Yoshi enters stages at the beginning of every match by hatching from a Yoshi Eggegg.

===''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series===

An egg is used as a projectile asused by [[Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. Only the computer may use the eggeggs, and Yoshi has an unlimited supply of itthem. The egg is like a "special" item, thatbut mostall ofspecial themitems in the game are exclusive to otherCPU controlled computersdrivers.

[[File:Egg.PNG|thumb|right|100px|A Yoshi Eggegg in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.]]

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the Yoshi Eggegg is a special item, exclusive to [[Yoshi]] and similar to [[Birdo Egg]]. When thrown, the Egg will home on the next place racer. If a player uses it while first, the egg will just follow down the track and break. Unlike the Red Shell, there is a certain amount of distance an egg needs before it cracks, and the red shell is continuous until it either goes off the course, goes into a wall, or hits the player. When it breaks, three random items will get thrown out, which can be [[Green Shell]]s, [[Mushroom]]s, [[Banana]]s, [[Fake Item Box]]es, [[Star]]s, or [[Bob-omb]]s.

[[File:MKDS Egg1Egg 1 Screenshot.PNGpng|thumb|left|Yoshi's Egg 1 kart in ''Mario Kart DS''.]]

The Yoshi Eggegg appears only as an emblem in the karts and [[bike]]s when Yoshi's chosen. There is also a giant Yoshi Eggegg that appears in the retro course [[Yoshi Falls]], taken from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''.

The Yoshi Eggegg is once again Yoshi's emblem and it also makes small appearances throughout courses. The Egg 1 also comes back from ''Mario Kart DS''.

[[File:ICONYOSHI.png|thumb|right|The Yoshi Eggegg emblem as seen in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.]]

In most ''Mario Party'' games, the Yoshi Eggegg appeared as one of the objects in various minigames. Yoshi and Birdo's signature orb in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' is the [[Egg Orb]], which transforms any [[Character Space]] (excluding [[Koopa Kid Space]]s) into a Yoshi Eggegg.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] video game ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', a Yoshi Eggegg actacts as a pinball that Mario could buy at the shop.

Yoshi Eggseggs serve as the objectives of the [[Dream Equestrian]] in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]''. In the event, players must race to the finish line, carrying a wagon full of seven colored Yoshis while avoiding obstacles. If a egg falls off the wagon, a 10 second penalty will added to the player's time upon completing the event.

===Appearances in Otherother Mediamedia===

In the [[Club Nintendo]] comic "[[Ostern im Schwammerlland]]", the Easter bunny dropped a Yoshi Eggegg, out of which Yoshi emerged.

A Yoshi Eggegg played an important role in the comic "[[Mario in Mariozilla]]", published in the same magazine. In this story, some fog coming out of [[Kamek]]'s broom shrinks the [[Magikoopa]] and Mario to ant-size. When they sit on a blade of grass waiting for help, Yoshi swallows them. All attempts to get the two out of Yoshi's mouth fail, but ultimately [[Dr. Light]] gets the idea that Yoshi laying an egg could be the solution to the problem. Yoshi obviously has difficulties doing so, but two hours later, he finally lays an egg. Light breaks it up and indeed Mario and Kamek come out of it.
