Your filthy friend
Muddy Buddy is a cute little lump of purple mud in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. If it sees Yoshi it will run at him. The player should not worry, because it's 100% harmless and won't attack. Yoshi can jump on it to walk across spikes, and still be able to shoot eggs. It can also allow Yoshi to jump high, but if the player presses down Yoshi will fall off, and possibly fall into spikes.
There's only one known in the original SNES version, in Level 5-4, Sluggy the Unshaven's Fort. Also, in the GBA remake, another appears in Level Secret 2.
