Huffin' Puffin, Yoshi's Story

Huffin' Puffins are strange puffin birds that appear in a few levels of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. They're always in a group of one parent and a couple kids. If Yoshi attacks the mother she will run in the opposite direction, and Yoshi can take the children. They act the same as Eggs, so Yoshi can pick them up by walking into them but can only have six at a time. If Yoshi loses one, he can return to the area where the mother was walking to claim more.

The young ones are extremely useful, as when Yoshi throws one, it will circle about in boomerang fashion, eventually returning. It can only hit a surface three times, any more and it will fall off the screen.

When Yoshi jumps through the goal at the end of the level the puffin kids will fly away.

The Huffin' Puffin family returns in Yoshi's Story. They are only found in Stage 2-1: Surprise!! and Stage 3-4: Frustration. They act exacly like they did in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Strangely, the Baby Yoshis will growl at the Huffin' Puffin as if it were an enemy.

Huffin' Puffin and its children make a small cameo in Mario Party Advance. In Bowser Lab, Bowser and Koopa Kid will ask the player what kind of opponent they want to face in a duel mini-game, if the player chooses "A very scary monster," Huffin' Puffin will appear out of nowhere, simply say "Huffin' Puffin" and walk away. Bowser will then chastise the player and say next time they should just challenge "A scary monster". The game's end credits say Huffin' Puffin disappeared and that not even Bowser knows where it went.
