Nintendo recently released the remake of one of their biggest games, Super Mario RPG, for the Nintendo Switch. Most of the gameplay mechanics of the original game have been kept intact. The game also features several Easter eggs and references.

One of these is the fan-favorite meme Big Yoshi in Super Mario RPG Remake. Big Yoshi is one of the most essential NPCs in the game.

He sells players many vital items in exchange for Yoshi cookies. He is not tied to the game’s narrative, so fans are likely to play through the game and miss him entirely.

Jump into the middle pipe, and you will spot Big Yoshi’s egg between two houses near the Yoshi Race tracks. To hack the egg, you must complete two objectives in the Nintendo remake. First, you must beat Bundt and Rasberry. Second, you must beat Boshi in the Yoshi race.

Completing these objectives will hatch the egg, and you will notice a baby Yoshi coming out. It will later grow into Big Yoshi. To help it grow, you need to feed the baby 20 Yoshi cookies. After this, leave the area and return to the island. You will find Yoshi all grown up. Interacting with Big Yoshi will allow you to see items for sale in return for feeding it more Yoshi cookies.

You can buy frog coins, Yoshi-Ade, Energizers, Bracers, and Red Essence from the NPC. You will need to trade in more Yoshi cookies for these items. The best way to earn Yoshi cookies is by participating in and winning Yoshi races. Upon winning a race, you will return double the Yoshi cookies you wagered initially.
