'''Egg-Plants'''<ref>''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Nintendo Player's Guide. [[media:SMW2 Guide 128.jpg|Page 128]].</ref> are flowers that are found in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]. These flowers normally spit out normal [[Yoshi Egg]]s, and are very common and appear in almost every level in their respective games. They spit out Yoshi Eggs one at a time, but if a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] [[Ground Pound]]s near one, the plant will either shoot out several at once or start shooting them out more quickly. The Yoshi can also lick the eggs to catch them. Since the Yoshi can only carry six eggs each, the Egg-Plant won't produce more eggs anymore until the Yoshi uses one of the Yoshi Eggs on something.

Egg Plants[1] (also formatted as Egg-Plants[2] or in lowercase[3]) are flowers appearing mainly in the Yoshi's Island series. Their name comes from "eggplant," a type of fruit. They also share their name with a type of nightshade (hence the appearance). Egg Plants normally spit out normal Yoshi's Eggs, and they are very common and appear in almost every level in their respective games. They spit out eggs one at a time, but if a Yoshi ground-pounds near one, the plant will either shoot out several at once or start shooting them out more quickly. The Yoshi can also lick the eggs to catch them. Since the Yoshi can carry only six eggs each, the Egg Plant does not produce any more eggs until the Yoshi uses one of them on something.

Some Egg Plants spit out Pokey projectiles, but as long as a Yoshi has six eggs, they cannot spit any out. In Yoshi's Island DS, there are four of these plants in the Island Museum. They can be viewed in the botanical enemy exhibit.

An unused variation that spits out Bubbles was intended to appear, but it was removed for unknown reasons.[4] Like the Missile Bill, it is fully functional.

An Egg Plant appears in volume 14 of Super Mario-kun, where it helps Mario, Yoshi, and Luigi by providing eggs in their fight against Burt the Bashful.

In Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, Egg Plants are knitted and lack eyes, and in replacement for eggs, they shoot out yarn balls of multiple colors. Egg Plants appear less frequently in the game, with only a few appearances, including the Bonus Game. The variation that spits out Pokey balls is absent due to the fact that they were replaced by Pokey Poms.

Egg Plants reappear in Yoshi's Crafted World, where they appear more frequently. In the Jungle Tour Challenge, two Egg Plants are set on the train.
