==History==
===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''===
Egg Pawns first appear in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] in ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games''. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Wii)|version]], Egg Pawns appear in [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Race]], where a pair of them appear as obstacles on the track moving at a slow speed. When the player collides with them, the Egg Pawns will explode and cause the character to be temporarily stunned lose speed, though the Egg Pawns will shortly respawn.  


Egg Pawns also appear in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]], acting as obstacles in some of the Dream Events of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games]]'' and ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]''. In the [[Wii]] version of [[Dream Race (Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for Wii)|Dream Race]], two of them are walking in the middle of the circuits, blocking other players. When a player runs into them, at the slightest touch, they will explode, stunning the player for a second. This also greatly decreases their speed. After one has exploded, they are soon replaced after another lap is complete. They appear as targets in the DS-exclusive [[Dream Shooting]], along with [[Kiki]]s and [[Flapper (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Flapper]]s.
In the [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (Nintendo DS)|version]], regular Egg Pawns appear as targets in [[Dream Shooting]], as well as a variety with a shield that take multiple shots to destroy. A giant Egg Pawn with a shield acts as a final boss for the event, which takes a large number of hits for the characters to defeat but awards a larger point score to the character that gets the last hit. Egg Pawns also appear as enemies for the player to hit in [[Shoot!]], and as a character to be sorted in [[Conveyor Belt (minigame)|Conveyor Belt]].


In ''Winter Games'', they appear in [[Dream Alpine]], [[Dream Snowboard Cross]], and Sonic's version of [[Dream Figure Skating]]. In the first two, they serve as obstacles. Unlike the first game, however, they do not explode on contact; they simply slow the player down without even noticing. Additionally, a variant known as an '''Egg Hammer''' appears as an obstacle in the Wii [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|version]]. In Dream Figure Skating, they appear in phase 2 of the Sonic world. Jumping at the specified time will cause the player to jump on it, defeating it. Sometimes, the player will jump on a spring then jump on it.
===''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games''===
In ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', Egg Pawns appear as basic obstacles in both the [[Dream Alpine (Individual)|Individual]] and [[Dream Alpine (Team)|Team]] versions of Dream Alpine and the [[Dream Snowboard Cross (Individual)|Individual]] and [[Dream Snowboard Cross (Team)|Team]] versions of Dream Snowboard Cross, where they cause the player to fall over and lose speed when hit. The Egg Pawns can be destroyed if they hit by a character under the effects of the [[Super Star]]. Egg Pawns also appear in the second segment of the Sonic World version of [[Dream Figure Skating]], where the characters jump from [[Spring (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Springs]] to defeat them during the routine.


In the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]], they appear in [[Extreme Snowboarding]], serving the same purpose as in the Wii version.
