Egg Roll is the side special move of Yoshi. The player can steer it by scrolling the control stick left or right, and stop the attack by pressing the special button again to break the egg. In Melee, it can be used to increase Yoshi's horizontal recovery. It is easily countered, but acts as an efficient way to pass an edgeguarder (when Yoshi is off-stage), but if the opponent can reach the egg's height and hit Yoshi it is essentially followed by a death. If preferred, the player controlling the move may wish to hold the special button. This makes it more difficult to control, but allows more damage.
In Brawl, while the move has potent momentum canceling properties, Yoshi's air speed is massively decreased while using it, making it useless as a recovery move; since Yoshi then becomes helpless after ending the move in the air, it winds up not being useful for such a purpose. The move invoking helplessness also makes it very easy to self-destruct with.
Brawl Manual description
"Control direction and speed with the Control Stick. Break out with B."
Origin
The move seems to be unique to the Super Smash Bros. series, but may be based on Yoshi's Story where upon eating a Turbo Tulip, Yoshi could encase himself into an egg and fling himself at enemies or out-of-reach objects. The Egg Roll would later appear in Mario Power Tennis and Mario Strikers Charged.
