Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, a plant-based thriller about defrauding the federal government, is out with a new update today that adds more hats to the Switch version of the game, including one that definitely looks nothing like a Yoshi egg.
“Today Graffiti Games and Snoozy Kazoo added new hats to the Switch version of Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, including a dinosaur-egg inspired hat,” reads a press release. “You’ll access the hats from the mailbox outside of Turnip Boy’s greenhouse.”
The update also includes some bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. It was released last week on PC, but the dino-hat is unique to Switch. “The game was influenced by the ‘Yoshi Commits Tax Fraud’ meme,” a spokesperson for the game.
There exists one piece of in-game evidence in favor of the widespread Internet joke that Yoshi does not pay his taxes: in Fortune Street, Yoshi is the only one out of 26 characters that requests to be exempt from paying taxes when the player builds a new tax office. pic.twitter.com/VmaPeNlQhf

Before Nintendo’s legion of intellectual property lawyers start freaking out, the dinosaur-egg hat has four spots, whereas Yoshi’s has three. The hats also don’t seem to be hiding any Nintendo-inspired free fan games or 30-year-old ROMs either.
