Sand clouds, also referred to as sand storms[1] or dust clouds,[2] are objects in Super Mario World and its reissue. Any colored Yoshi with a Yellow Shell or flashing shell in its mouth can cause a small earthquake and generate sand clouds every time the player lands after a jump, also defeating nearby enemies on the ground. After Yellow Yoshis become available in the game's Star World, the player is able to use a Yellow Yoshi to eat any colored Koopa Shell to attack using sand clouds. The sand cloud ability lasts as long as the player keeps the Koopa Shell in the Yoshi's mouth, but the Yoshi eventually swallows the shell and loses this power.

when a Red Yoshi has any color Shell in its mouth, it shoots Fireballs rather than spitting out the Shell. Yellow Yoshis holding Shells in their mouths kick up dust clouds when the Yoshis land from a jump. And Blue Yoshis can fly (press
