'''Purple Yoshis''' are a variety of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. 
== History == 
=== ''Yoshi'' series ===

==== ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' ====
The Purple Yoshi of this game is playable on the fifth stage of each eight-stage world.
==== ''Yoshi's Story'' ====
Purple Yoshi, with [[Brown Yoshi]], were [[List of Yoshi's Story beta elements|originally intended]] 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''. But can be unlocked by getting every coin.

==== ''Super Mario Sunshine'' ====
Purple Yoshis also appeared in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. Yoshis can turn purple by eating a [[Durian]] or a [[Pepper]]. While purple, they can spit juice, turning enemies into platforms that moves in a horizontal direction.
==== ''Yoshi's Island DS'' ====
They reappear 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, with [[Baby Wario]] on the back, help defeat [[Bowser]].
==== ''Yoshi's New Island'' ====
In ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', Purple Yoshis are again playable on the fifth level of each world. Also, if a [[Grim Leecher]] touches any Yoshi color, the Yoshi will turn purple, and the controls will be reversed.

==Physical Appearance==
[[File:Purple.gif|left|frame|]]
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Purple Yoshi debuted with purple skin and orange shoes with an orange saddle. In the Game Boy Advance port, however, Purple Yoshi wears pink shoes.

Although Purple Yoshi has artwork for the game ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', and is even in the intro sequence, it is absent. Its artwork depict it with 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 as the other Yoshis in that game.

In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Purple Yoshi wears dark red shoes; in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', they are hot red.
