Eggs (also referred to as Yoshi eggs)[1] are objects appearing exclusively in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. These eggs are magenta with lime green spots, and each one contains a Yoshi.

While exploring Yoob's Belly, the protagonists discover an area where Yoshis are being placed inside eggs. Stuffwell states they must do whatever they can to free them. When Toadbert is encountered shortly thereafter, he reveals that the Yoshis trapped inside the eggs are meant to hatch as monsters. He is prevented from escaping with them due to Sunnycide blocking the only way out.

In the adjacent room, Sunnycide is discovered along with numerous eggs. When Toadbert demands they release them, Sunnycide tosses an egg, striking Toadbert and causing him to knock out Luigi. Just after this, the egg hatches to reveal Baby Bowser.

During battle, Sunnycide keeps five eggs in front of them. As very little damage can be dealt to Sunnycide normally, it is optimal to break the eggs first to free the Yoshis, who will knock Sunnycide over with a Chomp Rock, significantly lowering their defense.

Upon defeating Sunnycide, the group is able to escape with the eggs, which are then brought back to the village by Toadbert. When Yoob apparently stops functioning altogether after this, Stuffwell deduces that the eggs supplied him with his energy.

Trivia[edit]

  • Fawful Guys from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story have an attack where they are eaten and turned into a Yoshi egg by an off-screen creature, which has a similar-sounding roar to Yoob's. The egg itself in unusual in color for a regular Yoshi egg, being green with orange spots, possibly a reference to Yoob's discolored eggs.
