'''Black Yoshis''' are [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] variants that first appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and have made recurring appearances in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'']] franchise since, alongside other colored variants of Yoshis. In ''Yoshi's Story'', they and [[White Yoshi]]s are rarer than the other Yoshi colors but have bonus abilities to compensate for their rarity. In later installments, they are found either as color options for Yoshi with identical abilities or have slightly different stats than Yoshis in some of the ''Mario'' sports games, but do not have any additional bonuses attached to them.

==History==
===[[Yoshi (franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]===
====''Yoshi's Story''====
[[File:Blackyoshi1.png|thumb|right]]
Black Yoshis in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' can be found in large, hidden eggs on pages 2-1 or 2-4. Black Yoshis and White Yoshis are the only Yoshis in ''Yoshi's Story'' that enjoy all the fruit, even the red [[Pepper]]s. In addition, Black Yoshis can eat other things that the rest can't, such as [[Black Shy Guy]]s. Another special power he possess in ''Yoshi's Story'' is that whenever the [[Smile Meter]] is full, his eggs explode in gigantic explosions, destroying more than one enemy at a time. Additionally, whenever a Black Yoshi is a [[Super Happy Yoshi]], his mobility while using the [[Flutter Jump]] is increased drastically until the invincibility wears off. Black Yoshi has the lowest voice of any Yoshi in the game. If the player loses Black Yoshi, the [[White Shy Guy]] cannot retrieve him unless the game has been beaten at least once with Black Yoshi in the party. 

If one of the [[Blurp]]s in [[Jungle Puddle]] eats a Black Yoshi, they will display an upset emotion bubble, suggesting that one of the "extra powers" Black Yoshis have is to taste bad to enemies.
