'''Eggs''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are items and objects, acting either helpful or as hindrances.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Jr.''===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (game)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' are obstacles occasionally dropped by [[Nitpicker]]s, and if [[Donkey Kong Jr.]] touches an egg, he loses a life.

===''Pinball / VS. Pinball''===
{{multiframe|[[File:Pinball Egg.png]]|bg=black}}
Eggs in ''[[Pinball]]'' and ''[[Pinball|VS. Pinball]]'' appear in [[scene B]], where there are three of them. If the ball touches an egg, it hatches into a [[chick]]. If all three eggs hatch into chicks, an [[up-post]] appears in between the [[flipper (Pinball)|flipper]]s.

===''Wario's Woods''===
[[File:PieceCreatureEgg.gif|frame]]
In the [[Wario's Woods (Super Nintendo Entertainment System)|SNES version of ''Wario's Woods'']], eggs<ref name=WariosWoodsSNESManual>''Wario's Woods'' (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) North American instruction booklet, page 9.</ref> are items that can be achieved whenever a player performs an '''egg attack'''<ref name=WariosWoodsSNESManual/> in the VS Mode. The egg attack is performed whenever the player clears multiple rows/columns/diagonals of monsters at once with one [[bomb]]. Upon doing this, a falling egg will appear on the opponent's field, accompanied by a voice clip of the player saying "Breakfast". Once it hits the ground, the egg hatches into a [[Monster (Wario's Woods)|monster]] of any type and color, and an additional row of monsters of a single color fall onto the opponent's field. An egg attack performed by making three matches at once will send two eggs onto the opponent's field instead of one. The player can prevent an egg on their field from hatching by matching an entire row of monsters with the color of the egg.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
Eggs in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' are yellow and can be spit out by [[Squawks]] to defeat most enemies.

Giant eggs in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' appear in [[Krow's Nest (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Krow's Nest]] and [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Country 2 level)|Kreepy Krow]], where they are dropped by Krow and Kreepy Krow in their respective battles to try and hit the [[Kong]]s. Giant eggs in both levels can be picked up and thrown at the boss, which is the only way to damage and eventually defeat them.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Eggs in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' are items that can be thrown at opponents or eaten for health. The latter game's Egg [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] identifies them as representing the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, but not the ''Super Mario'' franchise.

===''Paper Mario''===
{{PM item infobox

|pm=An egg of unknown origin. Restores 5 HP.
}}
[[File:PM Special Item Egg.png|left|frame]]

Eggs in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' are rare items that restore five [[Heart Point|HP]]. An Egg appears when checking the grass in the first area of [[Mt. Rugged]] where there is a train station, and it also appears by pulling a vine in [[Jade Jungle]], in an area behind the Raven Statue. Eggs also appear in the kitchen of [[Peach's Castle]] as a special item and are used to make the [[Special Strawberry Cake]] for [[Gourmet Guy]] during the Peach intermission after Chapter 4.

Eggs were later replaced by [[Mystic Egg]]s in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where they function identically and [[Big Egg]]s in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', where they heal 12 HP instead of 5 HP.

===''Mario Bros.'' (Game Boy Advance)===
Eggs in the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' are random items that players can find inside of a [[Trash Can|garbage can]] and throw to break it and reveal one of three items inside: a [[coin]], [[Heart (item)|Heart]] or [[Super Star|Starman]]. Eggs in ''Mario Bros.'' have the same sprite as [[Birdo's Egg]]s.

===''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''===
Eggs in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and its [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|remake]] are objects appearing as battle gimmicks of [[Birdo]], who may occasionally inhale [[Popple]] and spit out multiple egg capsules in his stead. One contains Popple, the others contain pink [[Bob-omb]]-like enemies that dash through a random bro. The eggs break after some hits, releasing Popple, and allowing him to be attacked again.

===''Mario Superstar Baseball''===
An egg in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' is an item in Challenge Mode which costs 200 coins to buy, and grants [[Yoshi]] the ability to use his special hits and pitches.

|unlock=Randomly obtainable in single-player modes or the [[smashwiki:Lottery|Lottery]]
|desc=Eggs are basically the same as Capsules, in that they'll release items when you break them open. They've been known to explode, too. The likelihood that certain items may be inside Eggs depends on the type of stage being played. Sometimes Eggs will contain health-replenishing food items; other times, they may hold weapons.
