Health Meter: Difference between revisions

When a Baby Yoshi takes damage from touching enemies or other hazards or consuming certain items such as [[pepper]]s or [[Black Shy Guys]] (unless it is the Black or White Yoshis), the petals will gradually fall away from the center of the flower, starting with the topmost left petal and going counterclockwise. The color and expression of the flower will also change. The face when the meter is at full health is red with a big smile, at partial health is yellow with a slight smile, and at no additional hit points remaining or the Baby Yoshi's loss is blue with a frowning, chattering face with what appears to be hairs on it. Two additional expressions for the flower are its eyes being closed, wearing a huge grin and its petals rapidly shrinking and growing when the Baby Yoshi is [[Super Happy]] and a green, shocked expression used as a transition when the last few (or all if a Baby Yoshi falls down a pit or otherwise instantly loses) hit points on the meter are lost before the flower's face becomes blue and frowning.

The Baby Yoshis can take damage only up to eight times, and being hit one additional time while the flower's face is frowning will result in the Baby Yoshi fainting and being captured by [[Baby Bowser]]'s [[Toady|Toadies]]. The player can regain health by having a Baby Yoshi eat various [[fruit]], which will regenerate any lost petals and make the flower begin smiling again.
