- Not to be confused with ! Block.
Blue Yoshi, licking a Surprise Ball
A Surprise Ball (also known as a ! Ball,[1] ‘!’ Block,[2] Exclamation Mark Block,[3] or Exclamation Block[4]) is a spherical platform that Baby Yoshis use in Yoshi's Story. Surprise Balls are round in shape and float in midair. To use one, a Yoshi must use his tongue on this object, and he will be pulled in and thrust upwards, ending up standing on top of it.
A similar-looking item exists in the game, titled the ? Bubble–instead of an exclamation mark, this red ball has a white question mark on it.
