'''Goonies''' are white birds that are most prominently found in the games ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. They are probably based on the [[wikipedia:wandering albatross|Wandering albatross]], whose nickname is also "goonie". Some Goonies carry green [[Shy Guy]]s, similar to how [[Albatoss]]es carry [[Bob-omb]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

==Trivia==
==References==
*Goonies are probably based off of a real gull-like bird, the [[wikipedia:wandering albatross|wandering albatross]], whose nickname is also "goonie".
<references/>
*Goonies have elliptical beaks that resemble those of [[Raven]]s.
*The way Goonies carry green [[Shy Guy]]s is similar to how [[Albatoss]]es carry [[Bob-omb]]s in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
*In Japanese version, Goonies are called "Aho-dori."  In Japanese, "Aho" means a fool, an idiot, or a goon. Maybe the name "Goonie" comes from this.
