'''Eggs''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are items and objects, acting either helpful or as hindrances.
 
==History==
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Jr.''===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' are obstacles occasionally dropped by [[Nitpicker]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] touches an egg, he loses a life.
===''Pinball / VS. Pinball''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Pinball Egg.png]]|bg=black}}
Eggs in ''[[Pinball (game)|Pinball]]'' and ''[[Pinball (game)|VS. Pinball]]'' appear in [[scene B]], where there are three of them. If the ball touches an egg, it hatches into a [[chick]]. If all three eggs hatch into chicks, an [[up-post]] appears in between the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s.
===''Wario's Woods''===
[[File:PieceCreatureEgg.gif|frame]]
In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[Wario's Woods]]'', '''Creature Eggs'''{{ref needed}} are items that can be achieved whenever [[Toad]] performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' are yellow and can be spit out by [[Squawks]] to defeat most enemies.
Giant eggs in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' appear in [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krow's Nest]] and [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest level)|Kreepy Krow]], where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the [[Kong]]s. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
In all ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, eggs have made an appearance as an item. They can be thrown at opponents, or eaten for health. They are sometimes released by the [[Pokémon]] Chansey. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Mushroom Kingdom II]] stage, Birdo appears shooting her 2-D eggs from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. These eggs travel in a straight line and cause minimal damage, but they can be picked up and thrown for considerably more damage. A spotted [[Yoshi Egg]] also appeared once in an Event Match.
Eggs in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health. The latter game's Egg [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] identifies them as representing the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but not the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

Eggs in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are rare items that restore five [[Heart Point|HP]]. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of [[Mt. Rugged]] where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in [[Jade Jungle]], in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of [[Peach's Castle]] as a special item and are used to make the [[Special Strawberry Cake]] for [[Gourmet Guy]] during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.
 
Eggs were later replaced by [[Mystic Egg]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where they function identically and [[Big Egg]]s in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.


===''Paper Mario'' series===
Eggs can be used in the following recipes, resulting in the following cooked items:
====''Paper Mario''====
[[Image:PaperMario Items Egg.png|frame]]
In ''Paper Mario'' Eggs restore five [[HP]] and make a [[Fried Egg]] when cooked. Eggs are quite rare in the game, and the only source of them is finding them in the grass at the station of [[Mt. Rugged]], or in [[Jade Jungle]] when certain vines are pulled. When mixed with a [[Fire Flower]] it becomes an [[Egg Bomb]].


===''Mario Kart'' series===

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the Egg is a special item.

It is exclusive to [[Yoshi]] and [[Birdo]]. Collision causes the player to crash, and spills three random items onto the track. This can include [[Green Shell]]s, [[Mushroom]]s, [[Banana]]s, and maybe a [[Star]] or [[Bob-omb]]. Unlike a [[Red Shell]], it breaks after a certain amount of time if it doesn't get to its target. It does not stop rolling until it rolls an entire lap or collides with a driver.
===''Mario Bros.'' (Game Boy Advance)===
Eggs in the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' are random items that players can find inside of a [[Bin|garbage can]] and throw to break it and reveal one of three items inside: a [[coin]], [[Heart (item)|Heart]] or [[Super Star|Starman]]. Eggs in ''Mario Bros.'' have the same sprite as [[Birdo's Egg]]s.


===''Mario Baseball'' series===
===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====
Eggs in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]] are objects appearing as battle gimmicks of [[Birdo]], who may occasionally inhale [[Popple]] and spit out multiple egg capsules in his stead. One contains Popple, the others contain pink [[Bob-omb]]-like enemies that dash through a random bro. The eggs break after some hits, releasing Popple, and allowing him to be attacked again.
In ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'', the egg is a special [[Items|Item]] that [[Yoshi]] needs to use his [[Power Shot]], the [[Egg Ball]]. However, the item is only available in ''Challenge Mode'', as Yoshi can use the Egg Ball anytime in ''Exhibition Mode''. Yoshi has to buy this item from the local shop near [[Princess Peach's Castle]], and after buying the Egg, is able to use Egg Ball as many times as he wants, so long as he has the star power to use it. The Egg is modeled after a [[Yoshi Egg]].


===''Mario Party'' series===
===''Mario Superstar Baseball''===
====''Mario Party 7''====
An egg in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' is an item in Challenge Mode which costs 200 coins to buy, and grants [[Yoshi]] the ability to use his special hits and pitches.
[[Image:Egg_Orb.JPG|right|frame|The [[Egg Orb]] as it appears in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''.]]
The Egg Orb appears in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' as [[Yoshi]]'s and [[Birdo]]'s special. When Yoshi or Birdo uses it, they can eat Characters spaces and turn them into eggs, they can also eat Koopa Kid Spaces but can't turn them in to orbs.

Although recent discoveries have proven that [[Birdo (species)|Birdo]]s can spit pink Yoshi Eggs, most Birdo Eggs are non-spotted. A Birdo will spit Birdo Eggs out of its cannon-like snout, and use the eggs like bullets. The player can jump on these to get a free ride, and sometimes, like in level 4-3 of ''Super Mario Advance'', a birdo egg '''had''' to be ridden.

Found only in the [[Boggly Woods]], Mystic Eggs are from an unknown creature.  Nobody knows where to find them except the [[Puni]] girl, [[Petuni]]. For a certain favor, Mario can obtain Mystic Eggs from Petuni during the events of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. Like in its prequel, the egg recovers five HP and may be used in all sorts of recipes.

This article is about the recurring object in the series. For other uses of the term "Egg", see Egg (disambiguation).
Egg
An egg used by Princess Peach after Chapter 4 of Paper Mario
First appearance Donkey Kong Jr. (1982)
Latest appearance Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (2017)

Eggs in the Super Mario franchise are items and objects, acting either helpful or as hindrances.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Jr.[edit]

Eggs in Donkey Kong Jr. are obstacles occasionally dropped by Nitpickers, and if Donkey Kong Jr. touches an egg, he loses a life.

Pinball / VS. Pinball[edit]

An egg from Pinball.

Eggs in Pinball and VS. Pinball appear in scene B, where there are three of them. If the ball touches an egg, it hatches into a chick. If all three eggs hatch into chicks, an up-post appears in between the flippers.

Wario's Woods[edit]

PieceCreatureEgg.gif

In the SNES version of Wario's Woods, Creature Eggs[citation needed] are items that can be achieved whenever Toad performs a "breakfast" combo move in the vs. mode. The breakfast move is performed whenever Toad clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one bomb. At this point of time, a falling egg will appear on the side of Toad's opponent. Upon hitting the ground, this Creature Egg would hatch into any type of monster of varied colors. After the Creature Egg hatches, an additional row of monsters of one color will rain on his opponent. Whenever Toad performs a three way breakfast combo will send two eggs instead of one. While the eggs can be prevented from hatching, it is difficult to do so as it must be done by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Eggs in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! are yellow and can be spit out by Squawks to defeat most enemies.

Giant eggs in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest appear in Krow's Nest and Kreepy Krow, where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the Kongs. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Eggs in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health. The latter game's Egg trophy identifies them as representing the Super Smash Bros. series, but not the Super Mario franchise.

Paper Mario[edit]

Egg
An egg in Paper Mario
Paper Mario description An egg of unknown origin. Restores 5 HP.
An egg used by Princess Peach after Chapter 4 of Paper Mario

Eggs in Paper Mario are rare items that restore five HP. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of Mt. Rugged where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in Jade Jungle, in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of Peach's Castle as a special item and are used to make the Special Strawberry Cake for Gourmet Guy during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.

Eggs were later replaced by Mystic Eggs in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, where they function identically and Big Eggs in Super Paper Mario, where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.

Eggs can be used in the following recipes, resulting in the following cooked items:

Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)[edit]

Eggs in the Game Boy Advance version of Mario Bros. are random items that players can find inside of a garbage can and throw to break it and reveal one of three items inside: a coin, Heart or Starman. Eggs in Mario Bros. have the same sprite as Birdo's Eggs.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga / Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

Eggs in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake are objects appearing as battle gimmicks of Birdo, who may occasionally inhale Popple and spit out multiple egg capsules in his stead. One contains Popple, the others contain pink Bob-omb-like enemies that dash through a random bro. The eggs break after some hits, releasing Popple, and allowing him to be attacked again.

Mario Superstar Baseball[edit]

An egg in Mario Superstar Baseball is an item in Challenge Mode which costs 200 coins to buy, and grants Yoshi the ability to use his special hits and pitches.

Eggs are basically the same as Capsules, in that they'll release items when you break them open. They've been known to explode, too. The likelihood that certain items may be inside Eggs depends on the type of stage being played. Sometimes Eggs will contain health-replenishing food items; other times, they may hold weapons.
