Name: Igashira-kun
Debut: Yoshi Topsy-Turvy
Today we have for you another episode of Yoshi Topsy-Turvy Creature Without A Localized Name! A friend to Daruma Otoshi-kun! You remember Daruma Otoshi-kun, right? Splendid! I can always count on you specifically!
Igashira-kun is a Spike Ball. Just a Spike Ball. This is no ordinary Spike Ball! It's got personality! First, it has eyes, which is not really all that notable for a Yoshi Thing, but it has a delightful jagged mouth that's even sort of asymmetrical! That simple addition gives it such personality. It's not quite sure about this whole situation. Which situation? You know! *gestures vaguely*
HEY! LISTEN UP because I have an important announcement to make! You'd better BE QUIET because Igashira-kun is sleeping. Isn't that precious? Even an indestructible weapon that can kill whatever it comes into contact with needs to sleep! You may be tempted to put a nice blanket over it, but please leave this spike ball visible as a courtesy to others. If you don't see it, you might end up stepping on it, and then you would say AIIIIEEEE! and jump up so high into the air, and then fall and die from impact. And that is why sea urchins do not sleep under blankets. The only reason.
Oh yeah, this is about a thing in a game. If you tilt the game it will wake up and roll! Wheee
Igashira-kun can be found sleeping on the ground or sleeping while hanging on a rod, but some are active, like an old person who walks laps around the park! These ones move back and forth on set paths, and are often found in areas where Yoshi has turned into a hot air balloon. Hot Air Balloon Yoshi, quite frankly, disgusts them. They think it's just ridiculous. I mean, I get it. Look at that thing. But not worth killing someone over! Calm down!
Just like that. Very good. Good night, my complicated friend.

Alright Guys, Hear me Out
It's this theory I had for a while. By for a while, I mean like a year or so ago.
Anyways, the theory is that Yoshi Topsy Turvy originated by two different game concepts that have been merged together.
Game 1 was about Yoshi but Game 2 was (most likely) about something else entirely. The Spirits still played huge roles/had the same roles as they did in Yoshi Topsy Turvy.
The only piece of evidence I have for this theory would be the two enemies that only showed up in Yoshi Topsy Turvy: Igarashi-Kun and Daruma Otoshi-kun. Perhaps they were originally going to appear in Game 2 before becoming enemies for Yoshi. The same thing can be applied to the gravity mechanic and the gimmicks that came with it in the now merged game.
These are just some thoughts of mine I had for some time.

Daruma Otoshi-kun (Yoshi Topsy-Turvy)
I thought this was a creature that lived in a pipe when I first saw them. Alas, their bodies only resemble pipes, which is still cool.

The Spirit of Speed from Yoshi Topsy-Turvy got a redraw! She was one of the earliest characters I drew, so I thought a redraw was long overdue

An attempt at trying to draw the Spirit of Kindness. Her design is so gorgeous, but it was at first a nightmare to try to draw her.
Nonetheless, I'm still glad I did her justice (or tried my best anyways).
