Thorn: Difference between revisions

'''Thorns'''<ref>''"Do not touch the thorns. They will knock you out! You can destroy the thorns by hitting them with eggs."'' - ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' [[Message Block]] in [[The Potted Ghost's Castle]].</ref>, or '''Crystals'''{{ref needed}}, are [[Spike Trap|spiky]] obstacles found in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' and its sequels, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They are found mostly in castles. If [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] steps on the thorns it's an instant death. A [[Yoshi Egg]] destroys a single thorn, but since thorns are found usually in groups and [[Yoshi]] can carry only six Yoshi Eggs at a time, most thorn groups are impossible to destroy. However, in ''Yoshi's Island DS'', [[Baby Donkey Kong]]'s explosive eggs can easily destroy a group of them in one shot. Sometimes, after they are destroyed, the thorns reveal [[Winged Cloud]]s, and in [[The Potted Ghost's Castle]], one specific thorn reveals even a door.
