- Not to be confused with Magic Ball.
? Bubbles,[1] also called Mystery Balls,[2][3] or Question Mark Balloons[4][5] are objects that are found in Yoshi's Story. Like with ordinary bubbles, a Yoshi can pop a ? Bubble by simply throwing a Yoshi Egg at it or by touching it about 15 to 30 times. When the Yoshi bumps into it once, it simply gets knocked around, without popping. ? Bubbles occasionally just float or move around the area of the level above the ground. They can hide walking coins, a Shy Guy, a melon in a parachute, a Surprise Ball, or a Heart Fruit.

The most frequent enclosures include melons, switches, and those five-Coin Challenges. To unleash the stuff hidden within, merely smack the balloon with an egg."

The actual switch box is found out in the open or hidden in Question Mark Balloons. Stepping on it causes a variety of actions to occur—from the appearance of melons or Special Hearts to the beginning of Timer Races."
