If Yoshi loses a life after reaching a Checkpoint Ring in the ''Yoshi's Island'' games up until ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the player keeps the star count (including the extra 10 from reaching the ring) and eggs that they had when they touched it. However, in ''Yoshi's New Island'', the player's star and egg counts reset to 10 and zero, respectively, if Yoshi loses a life and restarts from a Checkpoint Ring. | If Yoshi loses a life after reaching a Checkpoint Ring in the ''Yoshi's Island'' games up until ''Yoshi's Island DS'', the player keeps the star count (including the extra 10 from reaching the ring) and eggs that they had when they touched it.
