'''Purple Yoshis''' are a variety of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. The Purple Yoshi of this game is playable on the fifth stage of each eight-stage world.

Purple Yoshi, along with [[Brown Yoshi]], was going to be in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', but both were removed in the final version. A Purple Yoshi still appears in the intro of ''Yoshi's Story'', and there was a long-standing rumour that it would be unlocked as a playable character by collecting all the [[Heart Coin]]s in each stage. This, however, has been proven false.

Purple Yoshis also appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Yoshis can turn purple by eating a [[Durian]] or a [[Pepper]]. While purple, their juice would turn enemies into platforms that moved in one direction horizontally.

They reappeared in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', with an identical role to that of ''Yoshi's Island''. At the [[At Last, Bowser's Castle!|end of the game]], Purple Yoshi, along the other Yoshis, help defeat [[Bowser]] with [[Baby Wario]] on his back.

==Physical Appearance==

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Purple Yoshi debuted with purple skin and orange shoes with an orange saddle. However in the Game Boy Advance port, Purple Yoshi wore pink shoes.

Although Purple Yoshi had artwork for the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', and was even in the intro sequence, it was absent; despite heavy rumors of collecting every coin in every level would unlock it. However, in its artwork it had dark pink shoes, and a red saddle, which would remain its design from then on, except for ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where it wore orange shoes like the other Yoshis in that game.

In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' Purple Yoshi wears dark red shoes.
