'''Super Dragon''' is [[Yoshi]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. It is based on Yoshi's shell-based abilities in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Upon activating the Final Smash, Yoshi will turn into a [[Winged Yoshi]], allowing him to freely fly around the stage. Yoshi can ram into opponents to damage them, as well as [[Fire Breath|exhale fire]] either as a continuous stream (which occurs when the attack button is not pressed), or in the form of a large [[Fireball]] (which occurs every time the attack button is pressed). In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the Fireball explodes on contact with an opponent, whereas it pierces opponents in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''. In this form, Yoshi cannot be KO'd by passing the blast lines, and he cannot be damaged. After some time has passed, Yoshi will return to normal.

==Profiles and statistics==
'''Super Dragon''' is [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The move reflects Yoshi's sporadic yet powerful fighting skills on the battlefield and greatly improves his ability to recover from a fall. Rather than a single, powerful attack, Super Dragon temporarily transforms Yoshi into [[Winged Yoshi]] and gives him the ability to breath fire. However, Yoshi must first break open a [[Smash Ball]] in order to charge himself up for the attack. Once this happens, Yoshi can activate the attack at any time. Yoshi can even save himself from an otherwise deadly fall.

===Transformation===

[[Image:Yoshi_070823a.jpg|thumb|left|Yoshi during his transformation.]]
|image=[[File:SuperDragonTrophyWiiU.png|100px]]
When the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Stages|stage]] turns dark and Yoshi gains an unearthly glow, his transformation has begun. He gains two attack advantages. First, Yoshi's new angel wings enable him to fly. Secondly, the dinosaur constantly spews a jet of flame from his mouth until the attack ends.

|desc2=A pair of wings appear on Yoshi's back, turning him into an angelic dragon. While the Final Smash is active, he can fly freely through the air, and is invincible to boot. He constantly breathes fire, can ram into opponents, and can also shoot fireballs that deal a lot of damage and have great launching power, especially at close range.

When Yoshi assumes his new form, his [[Special Moves|move set]] and fighting strategy change with him. While Yoshi is not invincible, his opponents constantly evade him due to his constant stream of fire from his mouth. If Yoshi chooses to, he can stop spewing fire and use the form's normal attack: spewing a large [[Fireball]] that travels in a horizontal direction. When he does this, his aura becomes red temporarily, possibly giving his foes forewarning. Because of his ability to fly Yoshi can focus solely on his attacks rather than stalking or evading his foes. The smaller the stage, the greater the advantage.  Yoshi is also at a greater advantage if the central platforms of a given stage have empty space below them, such as in [[Battlefield]].

When the attack does end, Yoshi loses his new abilities, including his wings.  Innocently looking at where his wings once were, Yoshi begins to fall downward. If he was to the sides of the stage when he lost his wings, he will fall out of the arena. Because of this, Yoshi is at an advantage if, towards the end of his attack, he avoids the edges of the stage.

==Trivia==
Yoshi's enemies will likely swarm him as he returns unless their damage meters are high. In doing so before he regains his footing, they can attempt to balance out the damage caused to them by the dinosaur.

*The name also originates from ''Super Mario World''; in the Japanese version the Message Block at [[Yoshi's House]] is signed "Super Dragon Yoshi", which was changed to simply "Yoshi" in the English releases; in the remake ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'', however, once the game is cleared the text is signed "Super Dragon Yoshi" in all versions.
*On the Super Dragon trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Yoshi's saddle is missing.

==History==
{{SSB4}}
While the attack has not specifically appeared in any other game, by eating [[Red Shell|Red]] or [[Blue Shell|Blue]] [[Koopa Shells]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi could breathe fire or fly respectively.  However, only one of these moves could be used at a time. By using a flashing shell he could become Super Dragon but he hasn't much aerial mobility like when he uses his Final Smash, and could only breathe out one set of three [[Fireball]]s, causing the transformation to end. However, in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Yoshi could spew multiple short streams of fire after eating a [[Red Watermelon]]. This ability is closer to that seen in the Super Dragon ability.
