{{cquote|''Break the egg open to get the item inside. Look for it when the Pokémon Chansey appears.''|cite=''Super Smash Bros.'' instruction manual}}
'''Eggs''' ({{ja|ラッキーのたまご|Rakkī no Tamago}}, ''Lucky Egg''), also referred to as '''[[Chansey]]'s Eggs''', are container and tossable [[item]]s that appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Their functionality is similar to [[capsule]]s, but have a few differences from these items.


==Operation==
'''Eggs''' are container items that hold 1 item. They appear from the [[Pokémon]] [[Chansey]] or randomly on Yoshi levels. Eggs are functionally similar [[capsule|capsules]].
===Spawning behaviour===
In ''Smash 64'', eggs can appear via randomly spawning or from the Pokémon [[Chansey]]. In the latter case, Chansey can appear from either a [[Poké Ball]] and spawn three eggs via Softboiled, or on the [[Saffron City]] stage, where it will spawn one egg. The egg's spawning behaviour, however, changed for ''Melee''; while still appearing when Chansey is summoned from a Poké Ball, eggs now only randomly spawn on the game's three ''Yoshi''-related stages ([[Yoshi's Island (SSBM)|Yoshi's Island]], [[Yoshi's Story]], and [[Yoshi's Island (SSB)|the past version of Yoshi's Island]]), as well as on the [[Trophy Tussle]] event matches. In ''Ultimate'', eggs only spawn from Chansey in Saffron City, like in ''Smash 64''.


===As a throwing item===
*May store 1 item.
[[File:Birdo Egg Held.png|thumb|{{SSBM|Zelda}} holding the two-dimensional Birdo Egg.]]
*If thrown and hits an opponent it does 13-16% damage and little [[knockback]]. When dropped it does 9-10% damage.
Eggs are functionally similar to capsules, in that they are both items that contain a single item; both can be picked up and thrown, and both can be broken open via standard attacks. While the egg also has the chance to explode and inflict significant damage and knockback to opponents, the item's standard damage output is considerably less than that of the capsule.
*If thrown, hits an opponent, and then explodes, it does 22% damage and has a lot of [[knockback]]
*Another way to open the capsule is to hit it.
*It also has a small chance of exploding.
*Has a chance of healing 7% damage when picked up.


===As a recovery item===
[[Category: Items (SSB)]]
Eggs can potentially spawn as standard healing items, and their chances of spawning as this can be manipulated with the [[Item Switch]]; enabling only [[food]] forces all Eggs to be healing items. Disabling recovery items, however, causes all Eggs to be throwing items. Heals 7% damage.

===As a stage hazard===
A unique form of eggs can be found in [[Mushroom Kingdom II]]. The stage hazard of [[Birdo]] sometimes spawns on the stage, after which she will sometimes shoot up to six eggs at players. While these eggs deal negligible knockback and damage to players, they become destructive weaponry when air grabbed; almost all of Birdo's eggs explode when thrown, very few of them actually produce items.
 
Unique to Birdo's Eggs is that they are displayed as two-dimensional sprites, identically to the character's appearance on the stage.

|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.

==Origin==
In the real world, eggs are an organic vessel in which a embryo develops until it can survive on its own; most animals, including all birds, reproduce by laying eggs. Bird eggs, which the eggs appearing in ''Super Smash Bros.'' resemble, can be used as food by humans, who usually harvest them from domestic poultry. The use of eggs as container items in ''Smash'' may be inspired by the tradition of {{iw|wikipedia|easter egg}}s, hollow chocolate eggs that contain a toy inside.
 
In the {{uv|Pokémon}} series, eggs are typically associated with the Pokémon [[Chansey]] starting with the original ''Pokémon Red & Blue''. Chansey is recognizable by the large egg it carries in its pouch, which is said to have remarkable curative effects. Chansey is able to learn a few egg-based moves such as {{iw|bulbapedia|Egg Bomb|move}} and {{iw|bulbapedia|Soft-Boiled|move}}. ''Pokémon Gold & Silver'' introduced the {{iw|bulbapedia|Lucky Egg}}, an item usually held by wild Chansey that increases the experience points earned in battle. ''Gold & Silver'' also introduced breeding mechanics and established Pokémon as egg-laying creatures, though {{iw|bulbapedia|Pokémon egg}}s look different than the ones in ''Smash'', with the games portraying them as pale with green spots and the anime giving the shell a pattern similar to the Pokémon contained inside. Pokémon eggs also cannot be used in battle.
 
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', [[Birdo]] will attack the player by shooting eggs from her mouth. To defeat her, the player is required to jump on the eggs, pick them up and throw them back at her.
 
Eggs are also a common motif in the {{uv|Yoshi}} series, which explains their appearance as items on ''Yoshi'' stages replacing capsules. However, eggs in ''Yoshi'' games have a distinctive design with colored spots.
