'''Egg Blocks''', also called '''Egg Boxes''',<ref>{{cite|author=Prima Bath|title=''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|isbn=0-7615-2103-8|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=American English|date=April 7, 1999|page=103, 105, 111, 113, 115, and 116}}</ref> are spotted [[block]]s that dispense [[Yoshi's Egg]]s for [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] to use, provided they have space to carry more eggs. Most Egg Blocks are depicted with green spots.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
[[File:The Baseball Boys SMW2YI.png|thumb|A Yoshi about to throw an egg near an Egg Block in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'']]
The spots on Egg Blocks are commonly green. When a Yoshi hits an Egg Block from the bottom, a [[Yoshi's Egg|Yoshi's egg]] is dispensed. If the Yoshi is already holding six eggs, no more eggs are dispensed. Aside from green-spotted Egg Blocks, there are also Yellow, Red, and Flashing Egg Blocks, which, when hit, turn into a single [[Yellow Egg]], [[Red Egg]], or [[Flashing Egg]], respectively. Hitting an Egg Block from a certain side pushes eggs out in the opposite direction.

In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', two new Egg Block varieties are introduced. One of them releases [[Mega Eggdozer]]s, while the other one releases [[Metal Eggdozer]]s. Both of them are four times bigger than a normal Egg Block (looking like green [[Expansion Block]]s). The earlier variety is white, while the latter is black.

===''Yoshi's Story''===
In {{wp|Western world|Western}} releases of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the spots on Egg Blocks are the color of the current Yoshi, rather than just green like in the original version. In all releases, Egg Blocks have a light swaying animation.

===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Egg Blocks (localized as '''spotted blocks''' and '''spotted boxes''')<ref name>{{cite|author=Averill, Alan; Villarreal, Jennifer|title=Super Mario Sunshine: The Official Nintendo Player's Guide|publisher=[[Nintendo]] of America|location=Redmond, WA|date=2002|page=63 and 73|isbn=1-930206-23-2}}</ref> appear as platforms in the secret courses of [[Pinna Park]]. Most have green spots, but there are some that have magenta, blue, and black ones.

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
Although Egg Blocks do not appear in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', if [[Yoshi]] [[swallow]]s a [[Crate]], the egg he creates will be in the shape of a cube, just like Egg Blocks.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Egg Blocks are replaced by similarly designed objects known as '''Yarn Baskets''', matching the game's aesthetics. Instead of Yoshi eggs, they release [[yarn ball]]s, the game's equivalent to Yoshi eggs. Occasionally, they release bigger yarn balls for the Yoshis to use. Yarn Baskets can be hit from the bottom to release one yarn ball at a time or hit with a yarn ball from any side to release multiple at once.

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
In ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', the direction in which eggs are dispensed depends on the direction that Yoshi is facing. These blocks additionally can be stood upon.

===Other appearances===
In the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Sonic Lost World]]'', Egg Blocks appear in the DLC stage '''[[sonicretro:Yoshi's Island Zone|Yoshi's Island Zone]]''', where [[Sonic]] must save Yoshis inside Yoshi eggs and bring them to the goal at the end of the level. Only three Yoshi eggs come out regardless of how many eggs are currently following Sonic.

*'''Instruction manual description:''' ''Bump it from below or shoot it with a yarn ball to make yarn balls come flying out.''
**''You can hold up to six yarn balls.''
