Slugger



Sluggers are yellow Bandits that hold baseball bats around the time of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and the sequel, Yoshi's Island DS. They use teamwork with their green-colored counterparts, Green Gloves. If a Yoshi throws an Yoshi Egg toward one, the Sluggers will hit it back with the bat. Although it won't hurt them, it might push them.

If Yoshi's hit it can knock him off a platform and into a bottomless pit. Ground Pounding their heads or stepping on them repeatedly will defeat them. They can be used to reach items like Flowers that are out of reach by ricocheting an egg off a wall.

Sluggers are part of the Baseball Boys.
