+Wooden Bocci Balls appear in [[Blargg's Boiler]], where they are partially submerged in [[lava]], and [[Piranha Grove]], where they are placed above [[bramble|thorny stalks]] that will damage the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s if they touch them. The Yoshis use them to traverse the lava or stalks by balancing on them and rolling them forward.
+Larger, cloth Bocci Balls appear at [[The Tall Tower]], where they are suspended in the air. Here, they do not change position, but they still spin with a Yoshi's movements. [[Raven]]s often circle them, which does not affect their spinning or vice-versa.
