'''Blue Yoshis''' (also called '''Dark Blue Yoshis''') are a color variation of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] species.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:SMW Art - Flying Blue Yoshi.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of [[Mario]] mounted on a flying Blue Yoshi, which is holding a [[Koopa Shell]] in its mouth.]]
In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', any [[Koopa Shell]] held by a Blue Yoshi will give him the ability to fly; the abilities gained from holding Yellow and Red shells are also granted.

If a Yoshi of any color manages to find [[Yoshi's Wings]], it will turn into a Blue Yoshi and fly up to a bonus stage. After [[Mario]] and the now-Blue Yoshi complete the bonus stage, the wings will be lost, though the Blue Yoshi will retain its new coloration.

Additionally, a [[Baby Yoshi|baby]] Blue Yoshi can be found in the underwater [[Star World 2]] stage.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, ''Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World'', a Yoshi will not change its color upon finding Yoshi's Wings. Also, once the Baby Blue Yoshi from Star World is found, Blue Yoshis can be found in lieu of where [[Green Yoshi]]s normally are if [[Cape Mario]] hits a [[? Block]] containing a [[Yoshi Egg]].

====''Super Mario 64 DS''====
In ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', the third player in VS. Mode controls a Blue Yoshi. Blue Yoshis don't have any unique ability in the game, as all Yoshis have the same abilities.

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
A Blue Yoshi was set to appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', but he was scrapped and then replaced by a [[Light Blue Yoshi]].

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Though general Blue Yoshis don't appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', blue-colored [[Baby Yoshi]]s known as [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]]s do. They have the ability to spit [[Bubble]]s at enemies, turning them into [[Coin]]s, a [[Power-Up]] or a [[1-Up Mushroom]].

====''Super Mario Run''====
Blue Yoshi was made available as a playable character in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' following the release of the version 2.0.0 update on March 22, 2017. It can be unlocked after purchasing Blue Yoshi's House from the Kingdom Builder shop for 800 [[coin]]s, which only becomes available if the player has collected 50 Red Toads and 50 Blue Toads.

===''Yoshi'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', a Blue Yoshi is playable on the [[Castle]] of every world, except for level 6-8, [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]]; in which a [[Green Yoshi]] takes his place. This makes Blue Yoshis the least-used of the Yoshis. 

====''Yoshi's Story''====
A young Blue Yoshi appears as a playable character in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. His favorite fruit is [[Grapes]].

====''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''====
Blue Yoshi appears in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' as an unlockable Yoshi design. After defeating [[Mega Baby Bowser]] in [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]], the player unlocked various colored Yoshi designs, with Blue Yoshi being amongst them.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
Blue Yoshis also appear in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]].  Although not playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', a Blue Yoshi appears with the Yoshi team in 1-Player Mode. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', Blue Yoshis appear as a recolor for the regular [[Yoshi]]. A Blue Yoshi also represents the blue team in team battles.  A Blue Yoshi also appears as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Sticker]] in the third installment of the series.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
Blue Yoshis are also present (and live) in the [[Yoshi's Village]] on [[Lavalava Island]], featured in [[Paper Mario|the first game of the series]]. One blue Yoshi is the parent of the blue Yoshi kid of [[Fearsome 5]]; the other is the shopkeeper of [[Yoshi's Cabana]].

In [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|the sequel]], one of the [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Yoshi Kid]]'s colors is blue. The Blue Yoshi Kid will be obtained if the amount of time that passes between the point where its egg joins Mario's party atop the hot dog stand to when Mario eventually meets the newborn dinosaur after running from the Armored Harriers is between nine and eleven minutes.

===''Mario Power Tennis''===
In ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]'', [[Yoshi]] can change colors every time he performs a [[Rolling Egg Return]], provided the player has completed the [[Flower Cup]] with any character. One of the colors that Yoshi can turn into is blue.

===''Mario Super Sluggers''===
In ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'', a Blue Yoshi makes its baseball debut as a color variant for Yoshi. In Challenge Mode, a Blue Yoshi can be found in [[Yoshi Park]]. It gives the player several questions in order to figure out the combination for the gate. Afterwards correctly answering the questions, it will join Mario on his quest. The Blue Yoshi has the weakest batting abilities among all Yoshis, but that is compensated by its pitching, where it ranks first among the Yoshis (being tied with the team captain [[Yoshi]]).

===''Mario Sports Mix''===
A Blue Yoshi also appears in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' as a non-playable character. It appears in the [[Dodgeball]] game, where it assists the blue team on the sidelines. Its red team counterpart is a [[Red Yoshi]].

===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', Blue Yoshi appears as an alternate skin for [[Yoshi]]. It is available through purchasing both the ''Legend of Zelda'' and ''Animal Crossing'' DLC packs. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Blue Yoshi is available from the start. Blue Yoshi is the 200cc staff ghost for [[Super Bell Subway]].
{{br}}

==Physical appearance== 
In ''Super Mario World'', Blue Yoshis had dark blue skin, orange gloves, brown shoes, and a brown saddle. For [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|the sequel]], Blue Yoshis' look remained almost the same, but the shoes were recolored purple while the saddle was recolored red. The shoes' color was changed again for the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, this time to pink.

From ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' and on, Blue Yoshis have appeared with magenta shoes and a red saddle. In ''Yoshi's Island'''s sequel, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', and ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', the skin tone for Blue Yoshis was darkened.

==Notable Blue Yoshis==

*[[Yoshi Kid]] (optional color)

==Trivia==
*In the SNES version of ''Yoshi's Island'', there is a map error that displays [[King Bowser's Castle (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|King Bowser's Castle]]'s Yoshi as Blue. This only happens when the level is played for the first time, and resets to green upon resetting the Yoshi's locations.
*In ''Super Mario World'', upon completing the bonus flying section with Blue Yoshi, the level is immediately completed.
