Egg Roll is a special move used by Yoshi. It is a smash B move. The executor can steer it by pressing left or right, and stop the attack by pressing B again. 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 B button. This makes it more difficult to control, but allows more damage.
In Brawl, Yoshi's Egg Roll has higher priority. However, Yoshi's air speed is decreased while using the Egg Roll, making it useless as a recovery move. Also, it is notoriously easy to Self-destruct with Egg Roll in Brawl, as Yoshi becomes Helpless if used in midair, and running off platforms with Egg Roll is all too easy.
