Bounseeds are creatures that appear in Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. They are circular seeds that come in various colors. When touched, Bounseeds will bounce around the environment; Yoshi can bounce directly off of them to reach higher areas. Small and large Bounseeds also exist. When buried and watered, Bounseeds can grow into trees that produce more Bounseeds.
