History
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Piro Dangles[1] appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as uncommon enemies. They emit a flame blaze and have faces similar to that of Fryguy. Occasionally, their blaze temporarily goes out, revealing that underneath they are white spheres. During this time, they are harmless. They only appear on square or rectangular platforms where they move slowly around. Piro Dangles cannot be defeated by normal attacks, even in their harmless phase. They can only be defeated by using Super Blue Watermelons on them, causing them to freeze and fall from the platform, or by using an Anywhere POW to turn them into stars. Piro Dangles appear only in Burt The Bashful's Fort, in a secret room where three of them appear guarding a cache of coins. In the remake, they also appear in Endless World of Yoshis. There is also an unused variant of Boo Blah that has a Piro Dangle on its head. Like most enemies in the game, Piro Dangles are based on a Super Mario Bros. 2 enemy.
Yoshi's New Island
In Yoshi's New Island, Piro Dangles maintain their appearance and behavior from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and appear only within dark rooms in Beware the Boo Brigade and Fort Key Calamity.
