Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest is a Mini Battle featured in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Yoshi and Bandit must spit watermelon projectiles at each other.
The game starts with Yoshi next to a watermelon on a pot. The player can swallow a green watermelon and spit out seeds. The Bandit now has a Yoshi mask on, so he can spit seeds as well. Yoshi must spit the seeds at the Bandit, who hides behind walls. At random, a red watermelon may come up, which can severely damage the opponent.
If Yoshi wins the mini-game, he gets a Super Green Watermelon, Super Red Watermelon, or Super Blue Watermelon item card at random. Using the cheat to access the Bandit minigames from the world map will unlock a 2-player variation of the minigame. This Mini Battle can also be played behind the locked door of the shack in the stage The Cave Of The Mystery Maze.
