'''Nipper Spores'''<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> are obstacles that spawn [[Nipper Plant]]s, commonly seen in the ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' franchise. Generally, they resemble red spheres that are attached to white balls of fluff via small, black or yellow stems.

==History==
===''Yoshi'' franchise===
Nipper Spores (along with Nipper Plants) are traditionally introduced in the first underground level of ''Yoshi'' platform games.

====''Yoshi's Island'' series====
=====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''=====
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its enhanced port]], Nipper Spores are first encountered in [[The Cave Of Chomp Rock]]. They descend slowly from a certain height to the ground. Simply touching one will cause [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to drop [[Baby Mario]] off his back. Upon coming into contact with the ground, they transform into a Nipper Plant, which starts walking right away. Yoshi will swallow a Nipper Spore directly upon eating it, without producing an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]].

=====''Yoshi's Island DS''=====
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Nipper Spores first appear in the level [[Ba-dum BUM!]]. Throughout the game, some Nipper Spores are produced by [[Nipper Dandelion]]. When strong gusts of wind blow (usually caused by [[Windbag (enemy)|Windbag]]s), the Nipper Spores are blown off of the Watage Pakkun and into the air, until they land and become [[Nipper Plants]].

=====''Yoshi's New Island''=====
Nipper Spores return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', acting the same way as before. They are first encountered in the level [[Cave of the Nipper Plants]].

====''Yoshi's Story''====
[[File:Nipper Spore.PNG|frame]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Nipper Spores have spikes on them. They are also foul tasting, meaning that they will hurt any Yoshi (except for the Black and White Yoshi) that attempts to eat them.

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Nipper Spores are first present in the level [[Sponge Cave Spelunking]], where they act the same as in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. [[Nipper Spore Patch]]es are sometimes encountered in large blocks of wool that can be unwoven; they behave identically to a regular Nipper Spore.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
Nipper Spores also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', where [[Piranha Plant]]s in battle spit them out into the background to create [[Fiery Walking Piranha]]s.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Nipper Spores are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant]]. Unlike most other variations generally mentioned in order of appearance, they are listed amongst ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' debuts. [[Big Piranha Plant|Big Piranha]]s, [[Big Fire Piranha]]s, [[Small Piranha]]s, and [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant|Fire Stalking Piranha]]s are similarly listed out of order.
