Skip and ENTIRE BOSS with this Easter Egg (Yoshi's Island, SNES)

Yoshi's Island for the SNES hides this secret in plain sight, and it's got to be my favorite Easter Egg of all time. It involves skipping the boss battle against Naval Pirhanha in a rather obvious way, so maybe you figured this one out as a kid!

Enter world 3-8: Naval Piranha's Castle. Cautiously approach the boss room where you would normally fight Naval Piranha.

Typically, when you enter this room, the camera will pan to the right to reveal a Piranha Plant on the bridge platform. Then, Kamek shows up and casts his magic on this Piranha Plant to transform him into a gargantuan beast that you must fight.

But! If you throw an egg from off screen and strike the Piranha Plant before the cutscene occurs, Kamek will show up and exclaim "OH MY!" and the Piranha Plant will explode! This skips the entire boss fight!

I remember this one. That is even intended, not a glitch.

He doesn't normally say OH, MY!!, does he? They put in a checksafe for bosses in this game, I think, and that's especially cool in my opinion.

Told the boss "would u like an egg in this trying time?" And he said, "oh my!" and 'asploded.

Mega Man 7 had two similar-ish quick-kills you could do with Noise Crush against Turbo Man and Spring Man. If you timed you entrance so that you fired a Noise Crush through the door, it would bounce in the boss arena and catch the boss when the lifebar was supposed to fill up.

Although in that case I think it _was_ a glitch...

To paraphrase a quote from a game with Tiger Woods:

It's not a glitch. You're just that great.

Love how they referenced this in Yoshi's Wooly World too. You still have to battle Naval Piranha though.

[MegaTomPlays]

I love Kameks response just the George Takai oh my lol

[Tailstraw_xD]

I used to call Yoshis "Beep-Beers" when I was a kid because of the sound they make when Mario gets on one

[NeoArashi]

doesn’t have to be on screen. If you land on the very edge of the platform, you can pull this trick.

Never knew this. Reminds me of the NES Double Dragon skip where you just go back down the ladder until the boss despawns.

Sad i missed the stream, hopefully I’ll catch the next one

[jamiethompson]

[jclocks]

[docsigma]

[katier]

You can do this easier by standing on the very left white dot.

[Ceraii]

This is one I've never been able to pull off.

A boss gets 1 shotted with a egg shot bullseye 🎯 but unfortunately Kamek gets fouled by a green dinosaur 🦖 named Yoshi who stills is calling for his mama named Mama Luigi 😂(Karma jolt)🎉

[Blaze_Raven]

Even bosses think offscreen attacks are BS.

I’m the captain now. The captain of the naval ship
