Muddy Buddy

A Muddy Buddy is a creature in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. When it comes into contact with the Yoshi, it will stick to his feet, allowing him to safely traverse over spikes. You could stop riding him with Ground Pound.

Only one Muddy Buddy appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. It is located in Level 5-4, Sluggy the Unshaven's Fort. In Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, it also appears in Secret 2, Mystery of the Castle?

The Muddy Buddy was replaced by the Kangaroo in Yoshi's Island DS.
