Cloud N. Candy
- “Slurpity-slurp. I'm so sweet, you can't lick me! Burrrp!”
- —Cloud N. Candy, Yoshi's Story
Cloud N. Candy is a boss who appears in the Nintendo 64 game Yoshi's Story. This boss is a colossal, buoyant, smiling cloud composed of fluffy yellow candy. To defeat this foe, Yoshi simply has to lick up his candy body. However, Yoshi does have to watch out for Cloud N. Candy's jump attack. As Yoshi continues to lick him, he shrinks to a smaller and smaller size, making him quicker and more agile. Each lick of his cloud candy body will restore some of Yoshi's health. After repeated licks, Cloud N. Candy will disappear into Yoshi's belly. His name, as well as the character himself, is a pun on cloud and cotton candy.
