Spray Fish: Difference between revisions

'''Spray Fish'''<ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[Media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> are purple fish in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They appear in several [[fortress]]es and [[castle]]s, and also appear in the [[Island Museum]]. They shoot out a diagonal jet of water that is impossible to go through. To get past them, the player must wait for them to submerge, or shoot an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] at their head. They themselves can hurt [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]], but the water merely pushes Yoshi back. As of ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', they squint while spitting out the water.

Spray Fish are based off the real life {{wp|archerfish}}, which prey on insects by shooting them down with water from their mouths. [[Hot Lips]] has an identical (though much more dangerous) attack pattern to the Spray Fish.

Wool-based Spray Fish appear in [[World 5 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 5]] of ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They are made of yarn to match the games' aesthetics, and the water they spray is symbolized as a piece of string.
