Miss Warps (also called Mr. Warps in an issue of Nintendo Power[1] and Sleeping Warps in an issue of the Official Nintendo Magazine[2]) are helpful round egg-like characters found in Yoshi's Story. They all sleep on the ground, but when woken up by a Yoshi, they jump up and down and shout. There are four Miss Warps in each level in the game, all numbered 1–4 depending on their distance from the start of the level and colored pink, cyan, yellow, and green, respectively. When a Yoshi wakes two or more up, a Miss Warp, when jumped upon, throws the Yoshi to the next available Miss Warp in sequence. If a Yoshi loses all its health and is captured by Baby Bowser's Toadies, the next Yoshi will continue the level from the location of the highest numbered Miss Warp the Yoshis have reached.

Artwork for the first, pink Miss Warp can be used as a stamp in Mario Artist: Paint Studio.
