Item Balloons usually carry harmful or helpful [[List of items|item]]s ranging from [[coin]]s and [[extra life|extra lives]] to [[bomb]]s, [[Pokey (projectile)|Pokey projectile]]s, and [[Shy Guy]]s, which are dropped if the balloons are popped with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] ([[yarn ball]] in ''Yoshi's Woolly World''), with Yoshi's tongue, by direct contact, or if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] goes under one if the item is harmful. A trio of Item Balloons also carries [[crate]]s together. They also help in the final battle against [[Baby Bowser]] by dropping [[Giant Egg]]s. In ''Yoshi's Crafted World'', these balloons can also be popped by [[Go-Go Yoshi]]'s punches in the [[Go-Go Yoshi (level)|level]] named after it and the Triceratops skull in Dino Smash.
