Egg Throw: Difference between revisions

The '''Egg Throw''' is a move typically used by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. This is one of their signature moves and was first used in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. To use it, a Yoshi must first get a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi Egg]]. Each throw uses one egg. The player must hold or press the aiming button to show an X-shaped pointer which moves up and down. Letting go or pressing the aim button again will fire the egg in the direction of the cursor. The egg keeps going in the direction it was thrown until it hits a wall, a ceiling, or the ground, at which point it bounces. When it hits an enemy or bounces too many times, the egg breaks. Bouncing eggs are especially useful in underground stages with a lot of dirt to clear out. If an egg bounces multiple times, it changes color, going from green to [[Yellow Egg|yellow]] to [[Red Egg|red]], after which it breaks. Most bosses in the [[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]] are defeated by throwing eggs.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', this move is used for the first time by a character that is not a Yoshi, in this case, [[Sunnycide]]. This boss character can use Egg Throw, complete with the cursor from the ''Yoshi'' games, against all four of the Mario Bros. as an attack, using [[Yoob]] [[Egg (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)|eggs]] that contain trapped Yoshis inside. This attack can be [[jump]]ed over.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'', the [[Fawful Guy]] enemies have an attack where they are eaten and turned into a egg by an off-screen creature, which will then throw the egg at [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], once again using the aiming cursor from ''Yoshi's Island''.
