In most games featuring Yoshis, Yoshi eggs are involved. Yoshis are known for being capable of laying eggs at will, sometimes with Yoshis or items inside.

When Mario or Luigi collect one of these in Super Mario World, a Yoshi hatches and they can ride it. On Yoshi, they can swallow enemies with the X or Y button.
