A '''Blow Hard'''<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide.

Despite being a Pokey, it more closely resembles a [[Piranha Plant]] due to its spherical spotted head and large lips. It always has a blinking crosshair to tell where it is firing. It is near invincible, but the player can [[Ground Pound|pound the ground]] nearby or throw an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]] at it to temporarily knock it out, but it will wake up a few seconds later. Blow Hards will always be facing Yoshi, so the player has to be careful. Any solid objects and platforms can stop their projectiles, however. It can be defeated in the former with a [[ice watermelon|blue watermelon]] or [[fire watermelon|red watermelon]].
