'''Harry Hedgehogs''' are small, quick-moving blue hedgehogs that appear as enemies in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series.

Most games generally feature Harry Hedgehogs in only one level named after them. In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Harry Hedgehogs only appear in [[The Cave Of Harry Hedgehog]], which is named after Harry Hedgehogs and prominently features them. In ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'', Harry Hedgehogs were added in another level, [[Go! Go!

The Harry Hedgehog may be a retaliation to these mockeries. However, in its ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' artwork and ''Yoshi's New Island'' in-game depiction, Harry Hedgehogs have purple spines.

Harry Hedgehogs make their debut appearance in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]''. They continuously and quickly move between two sides of a platform. If [[Yoshi]] gets too close to one, the hedgehog stops in its tracks briefly and swells up, its spines sticking out. They cannot be eaten while in their defensive position, but can be defeated using a [[fire watermelon]], and are otherwise edible and vulnerable to any attacks in their normal state. They usually appear in cavern levels; the sixth level of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]], [[The Cave Of Harry Hedgehog]], is named after this enemy, and prominently features the hedgehogs. They appear in another level in ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3'', in [[Go! Go! Morphing!]]

==Trivia==
*Harry Hedgehogs are possibly a reference to [[Sonic the Hedgehog]], since they are blue and move very fast. During the 16-bit era (which happened to be the time that ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' was released), Sonic's company of origin, Sega, often mocked the works of Nintendo in various ways (as Nintendo and Sega were business rivals). The Harry Hedgehog may be a retaliation to these mockeries, which may also explain its change in color for its latest appearance. However, in official artwork, Harry Hedgehog has always been purple.

Harry Hedgehogs are enemies in the Yoshi's Island series. They first appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and return in its remake Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 and the series' third installment, Yoshi's New Island. In all three appearances, Harry Hedgehogs continuously and quickly move between two sides of a platform. If a Yoshi gets too close to one, the Harry Hedgehog stops in its tracks briefly and swells up, its spines sticking out. Harry Hedgehogs cannot be eaten while in their defensive position, but they can be defeated using a fire watermelon, and they are otherwise edible and vulnerable to any attacks in their normal state.

Most games generally feature Harry Hedgehogs in only one level named after them. In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Harry Hedgehogs only appear in The Cave Of Harry Hedgehog, which is named after Harry Hedgehogs and prominently features them. In Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3, Harry Hedgehogs were added in another level, Go! Go! Morphing! In Yoshi's New Island, Harry Hedgehogs similarly only appear in a single level of their own, Harry Hedgehog's Labyrinth.

Harry Hedgehogs are possibly a reference to Sonic, since they are blue hedgehogs that move very fast. During the 16-bit era, which is when Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island was first released, Sonic the Hedgehog series producer Sega often mocked the works of Nintendo, their main business rival at the time. The Harry Hedgehog may be a retaliation to these mockeries. However, in its Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island artwork and Yoshi's New Island in-game depiction, Harry Hedgehogs have purple spines.
