'''Pink Yoshis''' are a variety of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] debuting in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.

==History==
===''Yoshi'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[File:Pink_Yoshi_with_Mario.PNG|frame]]
A Pink Yoshi first appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. Here, it is only playable in the second level of each world. It has pink skin and orange shoes with an orange saddle, albeit of a more pink color than the other Yoshis on the darkest shade. However, in the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, ''[[Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island]]'', Pink Yoshi wears blue shoes instead. Apart from its color scheme, it does not bear any differences from the other types of Yoshis in the game.

In the original game for the [[Super Nintendo]], the Pink Yoshi is more magenta in its color. However, this was changed in the Game Boy Advance remake, where it is a truer pink color, much like in other games it appears in.

====''Yoshi's Story''====
[[File:YI_PinkYoshi.png|left|thumb|A Pink Yoshi from ''Yoshi's Story''.]]
[[File:Pink Yoshi Flutter Jump.png|right|thumb|125px|A ''Yoshi's Story'' [[Flutter Jump]].]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', a Pink Yoshi is among the [[Baby Yoshi]]s the player can choose from before starting a level. It wears yellow shoes and a red saddle in this game, a color scheme also present in most later games, excluding ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. It does not differ from other playable Yoshis apart from its color and diet.

Pink Yoshi is featured on the cover art picture of the North American ''Yoshi's Story'' cartridge.

In ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', [[Baby Mario]] can acquire a Pink Yoshi by achieving a score of at least 80, but less than 100 points in the vertical falling parts of the game. Here, it can carry a total of 30 [[Yoshi Egg|eggs]] and is the third slowest Yoshi, being faster than the [[Light Blue Yoshi]] but slower than the [[Blue Yoshi]].

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====

If the player is playing on file two, Pink Yoshi is the default playable character, alongside [[Red Yoshi]], who is always playable. It does not play differently from other Yoshis. If the game is not played on file two, Pink Yoshi may be unlocked as a playable character by means of either completing the [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]] level or by scanning a Pink Yarn Yoshi [[amiibo]].
