==Yoshi in Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS==

Is there sufficient proof that the green Yoshi in YI and YI:DS is The Yoshi? The wiki page supports the notion that the ending to YI:DS actually takes place before the original YI game, but that seems illogical to me, and I doubt it was the intention of the designers for one star child to be so much older than the rest (Especially since Kamek is clearly targeting babies and seems to expect all of the star children to be babies). I think it's more likely that the ending to YI:DS was meant to indicate that The Yoshi is a completely different character from the Yoshis that saved Mario, which explains why Yoshi does not recognize Mario when he is found in SMW. [[User:Buddy Christ|Buddy Christ]] ([[User talk:Buddy Christ|talk]])

== Yoshi in Yoshi Story ==

I wonder if it is possible that the six Yoshis in Yoshi's Story were trapped in eggs by Baby Bowser when he transformed the island, the same way he traps them in Super Mario World. This would explain why they are newborns at the beginning of the game, and yet already know what they need to do. - Buddy

Not likely, Buddy, if the Yoshi hatchlings from Yoshi's Story were "trapped," then how did they hatch? It's more logical they escaped Baby Bowser by fate (the eggs were located "at a remote edge of the island" [Yoshi's Story Instruction Booklet]). Yoshis are an advanced species and are smart. The Yoshi hatchlings probably figured things out for themselves, plus their instincts knew that things were a little "topsy-turvy" with the abduction of the Super Happy Tree. The little Yoshis headed on an adventure by following their instincts (or in this case "gut") by eating fruit that lead them to defeat Baby Bowser and reclaim the Supper Happy Tree. -DarkBlueYoshi

And plus, that my friend is opinionated. It does not deserve to be on the article because <s>that sentence phails</s> we do not want to give out false info {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

== Yoshi in Mario Sunshine==

Was it actually THE Yoshi in super Mario Sunshine? I thought they were different Yoshi's.

:The Yoshi is referred to as "Yoshi" in the instruction manual and player's guide. In the game, Yoshi is green until he eats a fruit, then changes back to green when he either runs out of juice or hits the water. Also, all official artwork shows Mario riding the green Yoshi. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

It could have just been a Green Yoshi species. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''[[User talk:Paper Jorge|aper]] '''[[User:Paper Jorge/sig|Jorge]]'''</font></span>

:As stated above, the sources refer to "Yoshi" not "Yoshis". -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

ALL Yoshis are just called "Yoshi" and besides, how can yoshi go from egg to no egg?
:Who came from? The Yoshi or the egg?
[[User:Drmgin|Drmgin]] 16:15, 9 January 2009 (EST)

:Not really, when they aren't ''the'' Yoshi, they usually say ''a'' Yoshi, instead of just Yoshi. Although I do agree that they probably are generic Yoshis. Edit: forgot to sign. '''[[User:Myles|<font color="#00CC00">Myles</font>]] [[Image:LuigipartyDS.png|30px]]'''

== THE Yoshi ==
It is not confrimed if the Yoshi in Super Mario World 1 and 2 is really THE Yoshi. It could just be the green specie. And in Partners in Time it's not confirmed if that's the Yoshi...or is it? <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Paper Jorge|P]]'''[[User talk:Paper Jorge|aper]] '''[[User:Paper Jorge/sig|Jorge]]'''</font></span>

:The Yoshi from Super Mario World is the same Yoshi that is a selectable character in the kart, sports, and party series. In the Mario Party 2 instruction manual, it states that Yoshi is the same Yoshi that saved Mario and Luigi when they were babies. This means that the Yoshi from SMW 2 is the same Yoshi we know and love. Partners in Time is more sketchy. Official artwork depicts the Yoshi with Yoob, and Yoshi certainly acts as he does in other series. That is why I note that the PoT Yoshi is "apparently" ''the'' Yoshi, but could be a different one as in Yoshi's Story. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

It is THE Yoshi, he thinks he remembers Baby Mario! [[User:Maxlover2]]

THE Yoshi is born at the end of Yoshi's Island DS. Some random green Yoshi can't be a Star Child. THE Yoshi is also the green one from Yoshi's Story, methinks. The Yoshis from Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS are the parents of the Yoshis in Yoshi's Story. Just theories. If the tide of this debate goes to Yoshi being the green Yoshi born at the end of Yoshi's Island DS, we should probably deleted the Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS section of the biography.

{{User:Mariofan132/sig}}



There are some people who think that the Village Leader and Yoshi are the same yoshi.-Informant
:It's never been confirmed, though, so we can't put it in the article. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 22:51, 13 February 2008 (EST)



I agree with Mariofan, some random green yoshi couldn't be a Star Child. Wouldn't make sense for some random green yoshi to be just as powerful and successful as "the" yoshi, now would it? [[User:Mumbles|Mumbles]] 19:37, 19 May 2008 (EDT)

:There was nothing saying that that Yoshi hatching at the end was shown in chronological order. I'd say that Yoshi is the same one that helped Baby Mario. '''[[User:Myles|<font color="#00CC00">Myles</font>]] [[Image:LuigipartyDS.png|30px]]'''
::Nice!  That may be the solution.  I was just about to remind everyone that an official source (MP2) trumps our speculation, but then you found a solution. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 17:29, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

== Super Mario Sunshine ==

I have to question the [[Yoshi#Bravery on Isle Delfino|Bravery on Isle Delfino]] section for accuracy. In the <s>official</s> (hmm...) art, Yoshi is green. Yet, in reality, Yoshi only turns green when he is just about out of juice. Otherwise, depending on the fruit he swallows last, he is orange, pink or purple. I think THE Yoshi does not appear in SMSS, but instead an Isle Delfino species. Comments? {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 21:05, 13 December 2006 (EST)
:Now looking at the top of the page, I still am ''not'' convinced. We don't know what color the Yoshi is inside the egg at first, and honestly, SoS, sometimes you take the guides and manuals a bit too seriously. Also, keep in mind that these Yoshis can't go in deep water, signifying a different species. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}}

The main Yoshi can swim in water (MP and YI series) while the ones on Isle Delfino dissapate when contacting water. A major factor to consider when classifiying it as a Yoshi. Yet there is info contradicting it. Shadow Mario does appear with ONE Yoshi Egg and why is it that when that one yoshi egg is rescued, all Yoshi eggs are accesable. Then again after the Turbo Nozzle is found, all Turbo Nozzles appear. Confusing indeed. Im leaning towards species though.{{User:Knife/sig}}

Mabey they disapate because they can't swim and hold a plump plumber on there back, or they arn't real Yoshi's just Delfino clones {{User:WarioLoaf/sig}}

And I don't think any Yoshi for that matter can spray Yoshi Juice. I'm more and more conviced that this a sub-species of Isle Delfino. And hold on. Egg color doesnt neccesarily mean that its a Green Yoshi. (Ex:Yoshi Kid){{User:Knife/sig}}

I'm using the most canonical sources available, mainly the Player's Guide and the Instruction Manual. They refer to Yoshi as Yoshi, and use images of a green Yoshi. Yoshi disappearing in water and reappearing in an egg is similar to Super Mario World. In SMW, Yoshi could fall off a cliff or lava, but if you return to where you can find an egg, Yoshi will reappear without a scratch on him. The same applies to Isle Delfino. Note that Yoshi does turn green after he hits the water, meaning the juice changed his color. Maybe the water affects Yoshi because of the juice in his body. Note also that no two Yoshis appear together, meaning we can't say that it isn't one Yoshi reforming in an egg just like in SMW. Plus, Yoshi has changed his color before when coming into contact with an item (SMW again). The fruit is changing his color and possibly his tolerance to water. If Nintendo wanted us to know that there were multiple Yoshis, they could have made a piece of art depiciting a rainbow of Yoshis as they have done in every Yoshi game. Also, in SMW 2: YI, Yoshi could not swim in water, he could float at the surface, showing that Yoshi has different reactions to water in different games. Other traits of Yoshi have also changed. For example, in SMW, Yoshi could destroy a Koopa Troopa outright with one stomp, while in SMW 2: YI, Yoshi could only knock the Koopa Troopa out of its shell. Does that mean they are a different sub-species of Yoshi, the strong stompers and the weak stompers? Of course not. The game mechanics of each game is different. Nintendo wanted to provide a challenge by making Yoshi dissolve in water. Several challenges force Mario to ride Yoshi across platforms surrounded by water to reach an island with yellow goop. There would be no challenge if Yoshi could just swim to the island. Yoshi's tolerance to water changes based on the play mechanics of the game. The juice meter also limits the amount of time Mario can ride the powerful Yoshi. Regardless, official sources say Yoshi, not Yoshis or a Yoshi, so I'm sticking to Yoshi. Guides and manuals are important to understanding Mario games as they provide background information usually not presented in the game itself (unless, of course, the game is an RPG). -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

I have a source that makes almost eveything you just said irrelevant. '''The Great Sunflower says that the Snooze-A-Koopas have scared all the Yoshi away'''. Replay Episode 4 in Pinna Park and you'll see.{{User:Knife/sig}}

Get an exact quote so we can analyze it. In-game material is more canonical than manuals or guides. If the quote confirms more than one Yoshi, we can remove the SMS section of the article. This may make sense, as after the Snooze-A-Koopas are defeated, the Yoshis reappear on Isle Delfino. Please get an exact quote though, as I do not have the game in my possession currently. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

The wilted Great Sunflower says: ''Because of these fake eggs, the Yoshis of this island have fled...''

Also note that she spells plural Yoshi as Yoshis not Yoshies.{{User:Knife/sig}}

Brrrr! Video game analyzation is a scary business. [[User:3dejong|3]][[User talk:3dejong|D]]

I can't remember the exact quote, but I have the game and after playing the game for a while, you will see the same Toad you normally see by the lighthouse. He will tell you that lot's of Yoshis used to live in Isle Delfino, but he wonders why they aren't there anymore.--[[User:PeteyPiranhaLover|PeteyPiranhaLover]] 18:32, 15 December 2006 (EST)

Thanks for all the help. I'm glad we were able to check facts with canonical sources to make a more accurate article. When I play a Mario game, I try to keep a notebook nearby, just in case some random quote or piece of information will come in handy someday. The Sunflower quote was very helpful. I've removed all info about SMS in this article. We should also remember that the canonical spelling of multiple Yoshis is, in fact, Yoshis, not Yoshies. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Is there going to be an article about the Isle Delfino sub-species?{{User:Knife/sig}}

:No. A lot of creatures were changed in Super Mario Sunshine, like the Bob-ombs, but they are still the same creatures. A section about the Yoshis on Isle Delfino could be added to the Yoshi (species) page. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

{{User:Knife/sig}}

I think that the Yoshi on Isle Delfino is not THE Yoshi. If Yoshi were to go to Isle Delfino, he'd probably go with Mario and the gang. The reason he changes color out of nowhere? The fruit grown on Isle Delfino has a chemical reaction with Yoshis' skin. The reason he dissolves in water, dissolves when too hungry, and resides in an egg? The Yoshi on Isle Delfino is probably a '''very''' subspecies.

==Super Mario World==
Are you sure that Yoshi was rideable? It could just be a regular Green Yoshi. I do know that the THE Yoshi does appear though.{{User:Knife/sig}}

:Yes. Yoshi pops out of an egg, states his name, and Mario hitches a ride. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Wat the? How can Yoshi be older than Mario? I thought this was the same Yoshi in SMW? And there are a bunch of Yoshi eggs, doesn't neccesarily mean its THE Yoshi's egg.{{User:Knife/sig}}

:Why can't Yoshi be older than Mario? The Yoshi in SMW is the same Yoshi as the one in SMW 2: YI. There are a bunch of Yoshi eggs, but if you hit them while Mario is riding Yoshi, a 1-UP Mushroom appears, not another Yoshi. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

No, I meant it the other way around :-> But how are there a bunch of Yoshi eggs around?{{User:Knife/sig}}

Yoshi eggs hold items. A few special Yoshi Eggs hold the Blue Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, and Red Yoshi. Also, seven Yoshi babies are trapped in seven eggs held by the Koopalings. Yoshi can emerge from any egg in the field that would otherwise turn into a 1-Up. It's simple play mechanics. It's like when Mario falls in lava, but then reemerges at the start of the level. When a Yoshi egg appears, and Mario is not riding Yoshi, Yoshi appears. The instruction manual states that Bowser and his cohorts trapped Yoshi in an egg, so presumably whenever Yoshi runs away he is resealed in an egg by the Koopas. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

::I know this is an old comment, but... shouldn't we be sure to mention that the article is about the TITLE, and not a character?

Well, that's because THE yoshi was born at the end of [[Yoshi's Island DS]], so none of the game's events were about THE yoshi. [[User:MarioFan9999|MarioFan9999]] 18:29, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

It is when yoshi turns into a giant yoshi, by grabbing a RED mushroom. [[User:Isyou|Isyou]] 20:28, 9 March 2007 (EST)

all the red mushroom are in Wario Blocks. {{User:Maxlover2/sig| aren't they?}}

No. But acctually, there all in blocks, and yoshi cant destroy blocks... [[User:Isyou|Isyou]] 20:30, 9 March 2007 (EST)

They are also in yellow blocks, I think. I've done it. {{User:3dejong/sig|SUPER YOSHI BROS.!}}

In Tall Tall Mountain it is possible by having Yoshi ground pound the big stake all the way down. {{User:Wayoshi/sig}} 20:36, 9 March 2007 (EST)

There is another complex method. Use a cap to transform and break a block containing a Mushroom. After breaking it lose, immediately throw off the cap by taking damage and as Yoshi, collect the roaming mushroom.

Besides all that, I think this article should be deleted. We don't have an article on Metal Waluigi, Metal Peach, etc., do we? The name is also conjecture. All functions of Mushrooms should be listed under the article and the article of the character they effect. Heck, we don't even have an article on Mario and the redirect is in the right place.{{User:Knife/sig}} 20:36, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Okay, what makes Yoshi an enemy? Someone putted on a category entry in the article... {{User:RAP/sig}}
:In [[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]], [[Boshi]] is a purple, punkish Yoshi on [[Yo'ster Island]] that serves as a NPC rival. Technically, this makes him an enemy. In the same game, an actual enemy encountered in battle by the name of [[Bahamutt]] strongly resembles a more dragon-like Yoshi, which could be a subspecies or cousin. Both therefore qualify Yoshis as enemies, though I'm sure there's better candidates out there I've overlooked. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 03:12, 26 November 2009 (EST)

== FA dispute ==

I would like to make some notes on why this shouldn't be an FA...

:<s>Lead image is both large and blurry.</s>
:<s>"Greatest hero" is subjective and opinionated, as is "invaluable". </s>
:Too many commas in the second sentence - could be changed to "and has saved his [[Yoshi's Island|homeland]] several times."

:<s>"Destructive conquerer" is a silly term and should be removed.</s>
:<s>"Yoshi even" - it makes it seem like the article is praising him, not detailing his exploits.</s>
:<s>"Thus changing the course of history" - this implies that Yoshi altered the course of history, when him saving Baby Mario and Baby Luigi was always a part of the series' history.</s>
:The headers - I don't care if it's creative, they have to be more neutral, and less of them.
:On that note, don't capitalize something if it's not a proper noun and if it's not at the beginning of a sentence.

It may be one, but it still prove that YS take place after SMW2, since SWM2 was the first meeting between Mario and Yoshi.

There's also the possibility that Kamek shows Baby Bowser the future. [[User:Angry Sun|Angry Sun]] 11:13, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Then why would Baby Bowser have no idea what Yoshi is when they meet in YI? I find it hard to believe he'd go from calling Yoshi "Mario's pet" to "some kind of green donkey"- in the former, he obviously knows what a Yoshi is, whereas in the latter, he clearly has no clue. {{User:Dinosaur bob/sig}} 08:25, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

==Not the Yoshi==
In SSBB, the Yoshi that appears in the game seems to be the Yoshi as a race, and not as the actual main Yoshi. This is supported by it's trophy descriptions as well as the fact he attacks Mario as if he had never met him before. There is really no evidence to support that it is Yoshi other than playability. Not to mention it's colors are changeable to that of the Yoshis playable in Yoshi story. Am I missing something here? - [[User:ForeverDaisy09|ForeverDaisy09]]

Yes, you're missing the fact that the characters in Super Smash Bros. are not the actual characters, but rather, Trophy replicas based on the original characters. The replicas sole meaning of existance is to fight. And, that was a bad assumption, anyway. From your point of view, Mario is a species (lol, BJAODN), because he fights Peach and Luigi as if he has never met them before, and because of all his color changes. It's the character (er... Trophy replica), not the species. ;) {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}

==Trivia==

I have noticed that the trivia section for this article is overly long.  One of the requirements for being a FA is that there should be no improvement tags.

Does anyone else think that is a good idea?  {{User:White Knight/sig}}
:You go ahead and do that. You're right, the article shouldn't be featured with a template like that. Maybe you could try un-featuring it. But I think the process is not yet fully organized, so you could just merge the trivia into the article, I guess. {{User:Garlic Man/sig}}

[http://www.yoshiart.com/view.php?image=yoshis-story-yoshi.png]  To back up my claim about the artwork I moved to the gallery, you'll notice it had marks around it indicating that it previously had a background around it - specifically as though it came from the beach volleyball artwork from that game where Yoshi was in that exact pose. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 10:26, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

== Playable Yoshis ==

I've noticed something about the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island level articles. No matter what level they're about, the article refers to the playable Yoshi as "Yoshi". But the playable Yoshis in the game aren't all the character Yoshi. The green one in the first levels of each world is the character, but besides that, the playable Yoshi is pink, azure, yellow, purple, brown, red, and blue (in that order, too). I guess it's fine to just call these playable Yoshis "Yoshi", since it's the name of their species, but there shouldn't be a link to this article if you don't play as the green Yoshi. Uh... right? {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}}

== Super Mario 64 DS ==

"To do this, Bowser intended to convert the denizens of the worlds accessed via the paintings in Peach's Castle into monsters. With these newfound forces, Bowser was then going to attack the castle, and, potentially, the entire Mushroom Kingdom."

Koopa shells are removable and act as a sort of clothing for the Koopa (sources: ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Super Mario 64'', ''Paper Mario'', ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''). Yoshi shells are not removable, as Yoshis are even born with them (sources: ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''Yoshi's Story'', ''Yoshi's Island DS''); if they were saddles, they'd have to be equipped.

I have an objection to point out regarding the latest information added to Yoshi's "Trivia" section. It says...
*In [[Super Mario World]], when Mario signals Yoshi to stick his tongue out, '''he hits him as if cracking a whip''' (...)
This information is highly false, and I (like anyone) can prove it. I've got a specific screenshot from [[Super Mario World]] in which Mario signals Yoshi to stick its tongue out while the player presses the ↑ (Up) button (so Yoshi will stick its tongue higher than the usual): http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HuVp506Cl2w/S9swSdT1z4I/AAAAAAAAF-Q/tX76gLCikY8/s400/SMW_MarioPunch.PNG That screenshot can be seen by anyone who pays some extra attention to the game's frame rate.

::::I still don't understand the application of this particular rule and despite you mentioning this when I bring it up, I'm afraid it makes little sense to me, sorry. As someone who works on other NIWA wikis, none of the other wikis have a problem distinguishing between different media. The Zelda cartoon =/= the Zelda games, for instance. I think you misunderstand me whenever I say "canon", all I mean is that "game canon" is separate, in my opinion, from the Super Mario Bros. movie, for example, meaning that it's not "canon" to the games to suggest that Goombas are de-evolved Toads, while it IS "canon" to suggest that they're traitors to the Mushroom Kingdom (which the manual to the original game states). To argue that both statements are of equal prominence makes little sense to me. I don't really think this a particularly disagreeable position to take, and I'm not trying to argue that the games are massively consistent (although they do largely follow some basic rules, Mario doesn't suddenly lose his Italian accent for example) or that it's worth anyone's time to make a "timeline" like this wiki used to attempt to do. I'm not saying that the cartoons and movies should not be covered by this wiki, but giving spin-off media as much prominence as the games to the point where contradictory statements are given equal merit is going too far, in my honest opinion, and is actually a relic of when this wiki attempted to merge everything into one hideous, monster timeline.

Well to be a pedant, the guide was made for NOA's media partners to describe how the characters are supposed to be portrayed, and some of the other stuff in it is reflected in western medias from the period (for ex: Wario being a childhood friend of Mario is used in a NP comic, and Toad's "Toadie" nickname is occassionally used in the Valiant comics).

But yeah, it's fine as a footnote. The name has been never used in an actual media, only in a behind-the-scenes documents, and it's very obvious no future mario media is going to use it. You can pull the "warble warble there is no canon" card if you want, but putting it as the character's official name is equivalent to saying [[Blip|Donkey Kong being a Japanese genetic experiment]] is an equally valid origin fo the character. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 15:00, 10 July 2015 (EDT)

:Actually, the Wario comic was also released in Japan I believe (I'm pretty sure the Zelda one was too), much like the Zelda and Metroid comics at the same time, or, at the very least they were drawn by a Japanese artist with some involvement from NoJ, meaning that while these aren't considered "canon" (meaning they contradict the games), elements of them have become canon, such as Samus's backstory and Wario being a childhood friend of Mario. I don't think the Wario example is a predominantly NoA invention, it's even mentioned in his trophy in Smash, and I'm fairly sure it was mentioned in other media as well so that's definitely something that is part of his "origin" story, such as it is.
:So yeah, I'm not saying everything in that guide is just pulled out of nowhere, but a lot of it seems to have been... ahem, "embellished", for lack of a better word.

== Color Splash sprite...or not! ==

The sprite we have for Yoshi in [[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]...I'm not sure it's real. It doesn't have the white outline that most Color Splash characters have.

==Personality==
i have noticed in games like MK8 mario tennis ultra smash and mario run that yoshi's voice is sounding very girly and effeminate and in games like mario party 10 he acts like a ballerina and in other games. in mario strikers charged he has the personality of a dog and chases his tail and acts like one could someone back me up here what did nintendo do to yoshi's voice why is it turning into a little girls voice?

== ''Yoshi'' edits (continued) ==
OK, guys, this is a discussion started on [[User:7feetunder|7feetunder]]'s talk page, and it concerns this: is Yoshi an actual character in ''New Super Mario Bros Wii''? Share your thoughts below.{{unsigned|Skuchi037}}
:[[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] brought this up on my talk page: [[Toad]]'s article has a "possible appearances" section, which exists to deal with the similar issue of determining whether or not appearances of generic red-spotted [[Toad (species)|Toads]] are ''the'' Toad. I think the addition of such a section to this article would be helpful, since there's no real evidence to confirm nor debunk Yoshi appearing in ''NSMBWii''/''NSMBU''. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 01:07, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
::All I have to say is....if it's the same Yoshi, why does it hatch multiple times? Bowser trapped him in the egg ''once''. I'm not buying it. Also, I think I've gotten two green Yoshis in single player of NSMBW through some glitch. It seems to be more of a case a la "The Big Boo": different individuals, or even a species, are referred to in a singular sense, such as how the ''Super Mario Sunshine'' manual says "Yoshi's back, so saddle up!"{{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 00:34, 2 August 2017 (CT)
:::I never liked the "possible appearances" section on Toad's page. All of it is too speculative, relying too much on maybes without offering anything definitive in return. If we don't know if if a given Toad is ''the'' Toad, I'd rather that we cover it on the [[Toad (species)]] article and refrain from potentially misleading readers  or any unnecessary speculation. This also applies to this article, with any uncertain appearances being listed on [[Green Yoshi]]. If the information is still accessible, but in a different place that doesn't require us to say "possibly" in every sentence, then I don't see the problem. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 01:42, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
::::There was a proposal for possible appearances [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_39#Separating_confirmed_and_possible_generic-looking_character_appearances|here]]. The idea evolved from an earlier discussion I brought forth, which is also linked in that proposal for reference. It's an improvement over Toad's old confusion with appearances section, but it could probably be much better condensed for something marked with uncertainty. An outright removal may be unwise for the reasons mentioned back then, so definitely check it out if you need to see where it's coming from. Either way - looking back, the proposal should have actually covered all similar character/species articles, but it seems that just didn't happen for some reason I can only guess. If we're going to start somewhere, I suppose now would be a good time to start with Yoshi. Better late than never. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 03:07, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
:::::I understand that, but at the same time, I still think that some of the sections are unnecessary. A few of them could be outright moved to the official history section, like Super Mario 64 and Superstar Saga (they even have citations!), but then there's stuff like the Super Mario Bros. section, which states that "it is often assumed" without offering any logical or reasonable explanation, or the inclusion of [[Captain Toad]], when [[Talk:Captain Toad#confirmed: Captain Toad is not toad|it's already been confirmed]] that Captain Toad and regular Toad are separate characters. It could do with some clean-up, at the very least. In any case, if we're pushing forward with adding the section to other articles, how many would actually be affected? Besides Toad, there's obviously Yoshi, and maybe [[Birdo]], but I can't think of any other examples. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 11:12, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
::::::''Super Mario 64'' and ''Superstar Saga'' (and to a lesser extent, ''Super Mario Bros. 3'') have citations, so at face value they seemingly don't belong in the section, but at the same time, they're openly conflicting – they just don't agree with each other on which Toad is considered  ''the'' Toad (if such a concept is even still relevant in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G59LgSoGQQ#t=100m38s "current story"], but I digress). They're there because the internal inconsistencies among sources make those appearances inconclusive, and thus more likely as the result of writer's whim or localization oversight than any deliberate reason. The wordy rationale can definitely be trimmed, though, as well as mentions of Captain Toad since that's already been decided and is somewhat padding. I think ''Super Mario Bros.'' is included because certain official profiles count it as Toad's first appearance (albeit not defining the distinction between the character and species). As for other articles, [[Kamek]] technically qualifies, and I can think of [[Boom Boom|one more]]. There are several others such as Mouser, Fryguy, Luma, Polterpup and all the ''Mario Party Advance'' characters, but those articles are also a lot shorter and have a clearer grasp of the subject. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 17:15, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
OK, glitches don't really help, because they mess up the game, so we're not counting glitches. So officially then, only one green Yoshi IS shown on-screen in ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'' and ''Super Mario World''. Going off of that, then, Yoshi IS the green Yoshi that's playable in both games, regardless of how many times a green Yoshi appears on-screen. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 16:22, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
:You can't just conclude that a singular Green Yoshi is automatically ''the'' Yoshi. Also, you seem to have skipped over LinkTheLefty's comment on [[User_talk:7feetunder#Yoshi_edits|7feetunder's talk page]] about multiple Yoshis appearing in Super Mario World. It's not as clear-cut as you're making it out to be. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:31, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
::Multiple green Yoshi's appear in just about every game where multiple Yoshis appear, sans ''Super Mario Sunshine'' maybe. The only time Yoshi should be specified as ''the'' Yoshi is when only one Yoshi makes an appearance, like ''Super Mario 64 DS'', or if the game specifically says so. Both [[Yoshi]] and [[Green Yoshi]] are tagged with rewrite, so I understand the confusion here. Both articles cover pretty much the exact same thing: Yoshi. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:34, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
But it is, my boy. OK, let's forget HOW many green Yoshis appear in each of the games, because ONE OF THEM IS YOSHI THE CHARACTER! So, going off of that logic, we don't need to make a "possible appearances" section, because we know for sure that Yoshi himself DOES appear in these games as the Mario Bros' steed. It's just a matter of finding out WHO is the real Yoshi. In ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'' it's World 1-3 that Yoshi the character is found in. In ''Super Mario World'', it's Yoshi's Island 1/2 that he's found in. So mostly, the first green Yoshi is YOSHI THE CHARACTER. It's just a matter of knowing if he's found as the only Green Yoshi in other levels. And no, I haven't forgotten about multiple Yoshis in ''Mario World'', because ONE OF THEM IS YOSHI THE CHARACTER. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 16:41, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
:Your method for determining what green Yoshis are ''the'' Yoshi is 1. speculative, and 2. arbitrary. The first green Yoshi is any given game is ''the'' Yoshi because...why? There is not an ounce of evidence that what you're saying is true. It's just fan wank.
:{{User:7feetunder/sig}} 16:58, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
It's NOT. Simple, the first green Yoshi is ''the'' Yoshi because BOWSER TRAPPED THE REAL ONE IN AN EGG, AND IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE GAME IS GOING TO LEAD YOU TO HIM. Sorry if I didn't say that earlier. It's not speculation or arbitrary. That's the reason I'm saying what I am. I'm not trying to speculate or be arbitrary, I have good reasons behind all this. After all, it's just plain obvious, ONE OF THE GREEN YOSHIS IS ''THE'' YOSHI, and he appears in ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'' and ''Super Mario World'' as the Mario Bros' steed. I'm not mad or anything, I'm just trying to emphasize my point. I don't say fan wank just randomly. One of them, even if it's not the first one, IS the tried-and-true Yoshi, and that's a fact, because in a game with Yoshis, THE REAL ONE COMES FIRST. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 17:06, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
:There is no need to "shout" in all caps.
:In ''Super Mario World'', Bowser trapped '''all''' Yoshis in eggs, so that point is moot. There are several green, red, yellow, blue, pink, black, purple, etc. Yoshis. Yes, it's possible one of these Yoshis in ''Super Mario World'' could be the "true" Yoshi, but there's no evidence that supports that. Likewise, you could say that neither of them are the "true" Yoshi either, and there'd still be no evidence to support that claim. There simply isn't enough info here to determine which Yoshi is the one that shows in ''SM64DS, Mario Sluggers, Mario Party'', etc. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:13, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
I'm not shouting, I'm just trying to emphasize my point. But still, Bowser's going to trap the REAL one first, so the first egg you break HAS to reveal Yoshi. Nintendo wouldn't be stupid to put random Yoshis, without putting Yoshi in first. He's also the Yoshi that starts the loop of levels in the ''Yoshi's Island'' games. I mean, this isn't speculation, because Bowser traps Yoshi first, and then goes for everyone else. I mean, that's the way I see it. ONE of them is Yoshi. I just know it. I mean, Nintendo would HAVE to put him in in some way, be it obvious or inconspicuous.{{unsigned|Skuchi037}}
::I'm going with what 7feetunder and Alex are saying, it just makes more sense that they'd be different individuals, because there'd be no reason for him to be trapped in an egg multiple times. The only ''Super Mario'' games which have him as rideable and directly reference a Yoshi as the character are ''Super Mario World'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', where the first one that's rescued is referred to as him. Although how he can be both a residence of Yoshi's Island, Sky Station Galaxy, and Yoshi Star Galaxy is anyone's guess, but I suppose that goes for Yo'ster Island as well. NSMBW and U don't reference the character. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 16:22, 2 August 2017 (CT)

I know that the game is barely known, but look at what Nintendo said in the Wii U version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'':

There are lots of varieties and colors of Yoshis, but they're all still just called "Yoshi." It's not really a name like how "Mario" is. If you're even in doubt, you can tell a Yoshi by their kind heart, fast feet, and huge appetite!

At this point I'm even wondering if a recurring ''Yoshi'' character ever existed in the first place. Nintendo loves to use generic members of a species named with the name of the species, and even pointed out that the Toads with an actual name (Captain Toad, Toadsworth) are distinct from the other Toads.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:28, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
:That ''may'' just be a reference to how the name of the species is also "Yoshi", and shouldn't be taken as a lack of an individual Yoshi. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:32, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
::Actually, the text is clearly saying that ''Yoshi'' is not a personal name like ''Mario'' is.

:::Wow, so...since this came up, I just wanted to share with you that this actually isn't new information. There was a long-defunct official website that said the same exact thing about Yoshis (I don't recall if it included others like Toads). I'm ''fairly certain'' it came from [http://ms.nintendo-europe.com/mario/enGB/index.html here] or [http://mario.nintendo.com there], but it's no longer fully accessible and I've no idea if anyone ever had the foresight to make a working backup.

Maybe, Doc, but one of the green Yoshis in ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'' is him. Nobody but Nintendo, though, knows who exactly it is. I say we don't make a possible appearances section, because like TimeTurner said, it only creates more speculation.

Also, Mister Wu, of course there is. I mean, he's clearly distinguishable from everyone else. He speaks English, he uses eggs for his specials, and a little more I need to think about. He's notably braver than others of his kind, and he's a kind fellow, and he's a leader to them. It's kind of obvious, Yoshi the character does exist. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 17:34, 2 August 2017 (EDT)
:Nothing in either NSMBW itself or in the manual for it said that any one of them was Yoshi. And where did this "leader" stuff come from? The only Yoshi leader is a fat green Yoshi with a feather. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 16:40, 2 August 2017 (CT)
It doesn't have to say, it can probably just imply; in fact, the ''New Super Mario Bros Wii'' website actually says it in the Yoshi section, at the very least implying that he's in the game. Also, see the article itself, in the [[Yoshi#Personality|Personality]] section. He's clearly distinct from the others. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 17:45, 2 August 2017 (EDT)

== Undocumented apperance ==

Yoshi appears in Mario+ Rabbids: Kingdom battle, but that appearance is not mentioned in the section. could someone please add it? -PinkYoshiFan

== Yoshi's gender ==

Yoshi is referred to as 'he' in the article. Thus we get the following sentence: "he lays an egg".

Eggs grow from egg cells, which are produced by ovaries. When fertilized by sperm, a zygote can grown in the egg. This happens in the womb (mammals) or outside the body (others).

This is a basic fact about biological female animals. Making eggs necessitates all these organs that any biologist associates with what it ''means'' to be of the female sex. '''Having eggs is the defining feature of femininity'''. To refer to an egg-laying individual as a 'he' is to reject biology. It's as much 'out there' as the sentence 'he lactates to feed his young'.

Therefore I humbly (but simply) suggest that we call Yoshi a 'she'. --[[User:KORB|KORB]] ([[User talk:KORB|talk]]) 12:06, 13 May 2018 (EDT)
:Pretty sure this has been discussed before, but I can't remember/find where. But the games always refer to Yoshi as a male, though Palutena in ''Smash 4'' says he can contain female "parts" as well. Who knows how Yoshi's biology works, but he's always referred to as a male, with [[Birdo]] usually being Yoshi's female(ish) counterpart.

:::You're right, those cases definitely confirm it. Just for trivia's sake – after reading up on the topic a bit more, I found in the [[Yoshi (species)]] article that according to Melee, "Yoshis reproduce asexually", which implies that they self-fertilize, thus have both male and female sex cells. That means they're biologically hermaphroditic animals. If Nintendo considers Yoshi to be male (instead of hermaphrodite), this maleness comes not from biological sex but from assigned gender. --[[User:KORB|KORB]] ([[User talk:KORB|talk]]) 18:49, 13 May 2018 (EDT)

=="Confusion" section==
Just like Cranky Kong, I think this page needs a section to explain how "Yoshi" is the name given to any Green Yoshi that appears, even though it's the same name given to his species, but this causes confusion since there are multiple Green Yoshis around and it's hinted that the Green Yoshi that saved Baby Mario is not the same Green Yoshi that befriended adult Mario.{{unsigned|Victordamazio}}
:[[List of Yoshi profiles and statistics#Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)|Nintendo]] [[Talk:Toad#Reopening a can of worms|confirmed]] that indeed the ''Yoshi'' and ''Toad'' names that are given to characters are species names - the latter being used even for the colored Toads at times. If you consider that Yoshi has the standard appearance of a Green Yoshi and that Toad as well has the standard appearance of a Toad - this being particualrly evident in gamess like ''Super Mario 64'' - you can see how we are pretty much in a situation that reminds me of the Pokémon franchise, especially the anime which also has [[Bulbapedia:Charla|unique members of species that have own unique name and appearance]]. With that being said, I don't think that a more species-centric paradigm shift will be doable, with it being both important in terms of work needed and problematic. I would hardly be surprised if not even Nintendo had the answer on whether Yoshi is always the same one or not, and while I'd love a more species-centric approach, I think the changes and implications are too big and controversial for that to happen - as an example, the statement at the end of ''Super Mario 64'' doesn't really say anything concrete with ''our last adventure'', but still can be seen as an implication that the Yoshi Mario is talking to is the Yoshi that pops out of the first egg in ''Super Mario World''.

This is not conjecture, as decompiling Yoshi's sound from Super Mario World (in my case, using OpenSPC to convert an .spc of the sound into .it and viewing it in OpenMPT) confirms this.  Depending on the game, it may be a similar sound constructed from the game's own instrument samples (mostly in other SNES games) or a recording of the orignial sound from Super Mario World (mostly N64 games).

==Character in franchise==
{{talk}}
The way this article is currently written, the green Yoshi from ''Yoshi's Island'', ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', ''Yoshi's Island DS'', ''Yoshi's New Island'', ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', and ''Yoshi's Crafted World'' (and ''Yoshi's Story'' if one counts the current category and statements such as "Yoshi has been voiced by Kazumi Totaka since ''Yoshi's Story''") is "Yoshi". However, in all these games, "Yoshi" refers to any given playable Yoshi, not any one in particular. In the ''Yoshi's Island'' games, text from Kamek and Message Blocks will basically refer to any color as "Yoshi", and this is more noticeable in the ''Yoshi's ''x'' World'' games, where the player can select whichever Yoshi they want yet dialog from more characters such as Baby Bowser and Blockafellers will always simply refer to "Yoshi" as his name. Additionally, Egg Island and Craft Island are implied to feature an entirely different set of Yoshis than the ones that live on Yoshi's Island, and the ending of ''Yoshi's Island DS'' reveals a baby green Yoshi as one of the star children, suggesting that he will be the main Yoshi that later appears in ''Super Mario World'', ''Super Mario RPG'', ''Super Mario 64'', etc. Instruction booklets also refer to the player's Yoshi as "Yoshi" in general, not a specific green Yoshi. The green Yoshi tends to be the "starting Yoshi" (and the "ending Yoshi" in ''Yoshi's Island'' games), but I think that's mostly because it's the most recognizable color. So what can be done to better reflect the games here? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:00, September 6, 2020 (EDT)
:Indeed, that’s [[List of Yoshi profiles and statistics#Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)|what ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'' was trying to say]]: any colored Yoshi can be referred to as ''Yoshi'', and {{media link|MCDSZ SMW Yoshi.png|recently the ''Super Mario World'' Yoshi has been referred to as a green Yoshi}}. And regarding the green Yoshi being always the same character, Nintendo loves to play around this concept too. An example: the Yoshi found on top of Peach’s Castle in ''Super Mario Odyssey'' is a clear reference to the Yoshi of ''Super Mario 64'', who himself hinted at the adventures of ''Super Mario World''. And the ''Super Mario World'' Yoshi’s house is indeed found near Peach’s Castle in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. The circle might seem closed but if you think about that, Yoshi’s house was in Yoshi’s Island, surely not near Peach’s Castle in ''Super Mario 64'' whose surroundings were in any case very different from what we saw in ''Super Mario Odyssey''. All of a sudden we find ourselves in a different continuity and that Yoshi can be a counterpart at best, if we used a “canonical” approach. Ultimately, this character/species interchangeability is not intuitive for us, ideally the character/species template should start helping us in dealing with this but I think we agreed on a limited use for pages like Dorrie or Draggadon at the moment, to see if we can approach this unintuitive issue. As to what we can do now, if I remember correctly Doc already added in the introduction how Yoshi might sometimes be a different Yoshi from the one seen in ''Super Mario World'', we might review the wording but I’m not sure if we can do much more right now.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 14:29, September 6, 2020 (EDT)
::Adding to this, the [https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_N64/Manual/formated/Yoshi-s_Story_-_1998_-_Nintendo.pdf ''Yoshi's Story'' manual] refers to any given Yoshi simply as "Yoshi," which combined with Baby Bowser derisively calling any of them "Mario's pet" despite them essentially having just hatched, shows that even then consistency with individuality wasn't a concern.

:I feel like [https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2015/09/10/miyamoto-tezuka-interview.aspx this interview with ''Game Informer''] is a bit relevant. According to Miyamoto, the way ''Mario'' characters are used internally is more like that of a theatre troupe than of defined, strict roles one may expect from a long-running series like this. This may be a stretch, but I am inclined to think this is directly reflective to how they approach game design and how they integrate their characters within each game: it is okay if explicit details are contradicting within each installment or are ambiguous because strict continuity is not a priority. Making something fun is. As a consequence, explicit details that may make it unclear if the green dinosaur from ''Yoshi's Story'', ''SMW'', ''SMS'', ''SMG2'', ''SMO'' etc. are all the same individual do not necessarily mean they are not the same individual "character", in my opinion. I hope that makes sense. -- [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 13:45, January 13, 2021 (EST)
::There's another underlying issue. As a Japanese company, Nintendo's Modus Operandi reflects very well how in the Japanese language the same term can refer to an individual, a member of a species or multiple individuals belonging to said species. We had throughout the years plenty of individuals with the name and standard appearance of the species they belong to, and this is definitely the case of Yoshi. Even more confusingly, as with the case of Toad, differently colored members of the species are still referred to as ''Yoshi''. It's an ambiguity within the Japanese language that is also reflected in how Nintendo handles Yoshi.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 17:35, January 13, 2021 (EST)


Hello, So I've been reading some contradictions. 
Below can be found in the [[Baby Yoshi]] article
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
A green Baby Yoshi makes an appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. After six of the [[star children]] are shown during the credits, '''a Baby Yoshi is revealed as the seventh and final star child upon hatching'''. Similarly to the Yoshis in ''Yoshi's Story'', this baby Yoshi looks strikingly similar to an adult Yoshi despite being a newborn. '''Due to his green coloration and status as a star child, it is possible that this baby Yoshi is the very same [[Yoshi]] that the grown up Mario Bros. would go on to rescue and ally with in ''Super Mario World'' and subsequent ''Super Mario'' games'''.

Below can be found in [[Yoshi|Yoshi's]] article
===Relationships===
====Friends====
Yoshi is one of Mario's closest friends, '''with their relationship stretching back to Mario's birth, when Yoshi helped reunite the newborn Baby Mario with his kidnapped brother, Baby Luigi. Mario, as an adult, has returned the favor in Yoshi's New Island by handing Yoshi powerful items if Yoshi is struggling in levels. Later, Mario helps free Yoshi's homeland from Bowser in Super Mario World'''

===Conclusion===

It is undeniably evident that the Yoshi who made their debut in ''Super Mario World'' and the Yoshi introduced in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' are distinctly different individuals. The green Yoshi in ''Yoshi's Story'' is obviously a separate character as well. I firmly believe that the oversight in the paragraph within the '''Friends''' section, displayed above, should be rectified to accurately reflect this clear distinction and conclusively resolve this lingering case of mistaken identity. Furthermore, this correction should extend to the '''Game Appearances''' section. It cannot be stressed enough that [[Yoshi|Mr. T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas]], the Yoshi prominently featured in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, appearing in games such as ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', ''Super Mario 64'', the ''Mario Party'' series, the ''Mario Kart'' series, all the Sports games, ''Super Mario Odyssey'', and ''Super Mario Wonder'', is a separate entity from the Yoshi who prominently aids Baby Mario in the ''Yoshi's Island'' series. I believe another article should be created to distinguish the two Yoshis, such as Yoshi (Yoshi's Island) or a similar title. To be brutally honest I am shocked this issue was never resolved many years ago. With kind regards. --[[User:KevinM|KevinM]] ([[User talk:KevinM|talk]]) 03:32, November 7, 2023 (EST)

Below can be found in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)]] article. I strongly believe the '''First Appearance''' should say ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' not ''[[Super Mario World]]''. I should point you to the proposals I am advocating for above as a reason to why this change should be made. --[[User:KevinM|KevinM]] ([[User talk:KevinM|talk]]) 03:48, November 7, 2023 (EST)

He is one of the Yoshis who defend the islands whenever they are threatened by evil forces, often carrying Baby Mario and the other babies on his back. He, like the other Yoshis, has various abilities, including [[Flutter Jump]]ing in the air, [[Ground Pound|ground pound]]ing, swallowing enemies, and producing [[Yoshi's Egg]]s. Yoshi is often the one who finds Baby Mario and begins the quests.

== Reindeer Yoshi ==

While costume variants of characters usually aren't notable enough, this particular variant has now its fair share of history and use, with it first appearing in the first LINE monthly calendar, the December 2015 one, and then being used in Play Nintendo and promotional material before becoming actually playable in ''Mario Kart Tour''. In the current situation, we might even create a complete subgallery featuring this costume variant, with artwork, sprites and screenshots. I'm wondering if we should give this costume variant an increased visibility, either in this page or, if this page is already too big, through a new page. I'd like to know your opinions on the matter.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 11:38, March 26, 2021 (EDT)
:Until Reindeer Yoshi becomes a separate character or is granted some kind of gameplay distinction, I’d say a separate page for him would be too much. [[Builder Mario]] did not have a page until this particular persona was granted a power-up status in SMM2, despite its extensive appearances in prior promotional material and even games. However, I’d say a sub-gallery is warranted. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 12:17, March 26, 2021 (EDT)

== What is happening with Yoshi (Kangaroo) ==

To better understand what just happened with Yoshi (Kangaroo), I'd like to show a rather obscure line of dialogue in the Wii U version of ''Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games'' that fortunately described Nintendo's policy on the use of the ''Yoshi'' name:

<blockquote>
ヨッシーには、さまざまないろ色がいるけど
そのぜんぶ全部をさ指して｢ヨッシー｣ってい言うんだ。
｢マリオ｣みたいな、じぶんじしん自分自身のなまえ名前じゃあないんだね。
でもどのヨッシーも、やさしくてあし足がはや速くて…
そしてく食いしんぼう坊なんだよ!
</blockquote>

A rough translation (I'm not exactly into Japanese) would be:

<blockquote>
There are various Yoshis of different colors, all named "Yoshi".
It's not an own name like "Mario".
Still, every Yoshi is kind and has fast feet... and is a glutton!
</blockquote>

This mirrors what was also said in the same game about Toad:

<blockquote>
キノピオには、さまざまないろ色のキノピオがいて
そのぜんぶ全部をさ指して｢キノピオ｣ってい言うんだ。

でもどのキノピオも、とってもまじめ真面目でれいぎただ礼儀正しいんだよ!
</blockquote>

<blockquote>
There are various Toads of different colors, all named "Toad".

Still, every Toad is very serious and just polite in the manners!
</blockquote>

The core concept is: a differently colored Yoshi or Toad can be named just ''Yoshi'' or ''Toad'' for simplicity, without specifying the color.

We saw this applied in ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'', where the yellow Toad was often referred to as just ''Toad'', but most importantly in ''Mario Kart Tour'': Penguin Toad is a yellow Toad, but he's referred to as ''Toad''. Now the same is happening to ''Yoshi (Kangaroo)'': the emblem clarifies that he is a yellow Yoshi, but the name is just ''Yoshi'' as they're following this naming policy. Granted, it would have been simpler if they didn't hide such relevant information in obscure and easily missable lines of dialogues (that were also in part [[List of Yoshi profiles and statistics#Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)|improperly]] [[List of Toad profiles and statistics#Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)|translated]] in English, making it look as if all colored Yoshis and Toads are named ''Yoshi'' and ''Toad'' respectively - not to the translators' fault, of course, as only recently did this concept and policy become more clear), but at this point it's more and more clear that what was stated there is indeed Nintendo's policy on the use of the names ''Yoshi'' and ''Toad'' alone referred to individuals of different colors.--[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:25, September 9, 2021 (EDT)

== Wizenheimer's name spelled incorrectly throughout the page  ==

Okay, Wizenheimer's name has been spelled wrong at many portions of this page, "Wizardheimer" is actually "Wizenheimer", Normally I would edit this myself but the page is protected so that's why I am requesting this to be fixed

== Move certain information to a "possible appearances" section ==

{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|cancelled}}
See [[Toad#Possible appearances]] for an idea of what I'm talking about. Similar to that article, there are certain appearances of a green Yoshi that aren't specifically stated to be this character, so I think it might be worth doing it here too. Sections I have in mind at the moment are Partners in Time and Color Splash, though I am open to more suggestions in the comments (maybe even some that aren't on this page). By the way, since this is my proposal, I'd rather not continue the debate of merging the articles entirely here.

'''Proposer''': {{User|Swallow}}<br>
'''Deadline''': October 26, 23:59 GMT

===Support===
#{{User|Swallow}} Per proposal
#{{User|Wikiboy10}} Yeah, I feel we could have something like this. It might look a little muddy because of the possible speculation but not every game makes it clear who the Yoshi character is. In fact, [[Mario Super Sluggers|Yoshi is even referred to as Green Yoshi sometimes]]. I do feel we need to discuss which games could have the most controversy though and make sure we aren't using headcanons are anything.

===Oppose===


===Comments===
Is this proposal just meant to allow the creation of a possible appearances section that we can discuss what is included later, or will it also be determining what sections go in there? If it's the latter I think this would be better off being discussed first. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:40, October 12, 2022 (EDT)
:Mostly the former, possible sections was sort of discussed in the Yoshi species talk page (the idea itself was even brought up during that vetoed proposal). {{User:Swallow/sig}} 17:57, October 12, 2022 (EDT)

I was actually thinking Toad's possible appearances section could be removed or at least restructured into a compact format, since all it does at this point is pad an already huge article. Right now for the most part, it's not information that couldn't already be covered by the species article.

== Can someone add the information to this page that the reason why Yoshi (along with Rabbid Yoshi) do not return in Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope is because they are on vacation ==

This information is mentioned on the Rabbid Yoshi page but it is not here for some reason. Also he along with Rabbid Yoshi is indirectly alluded to in the memory known as “The Story So Far”, here’s what the description of the memory says,  ''Shortly after defeating the Megabug the Heroes disbanded. Some remained at Peach's Castle to help her "manage" the Rabbids there and build a new spaceship. With the sudden arrival and then disappearance of the Darkmess Manta- who took with it Mario, Beep-0, and Rabbid Peach- I gathered the remaining Heroes and executed a rescue mission, for which I have yet to hear Beep-0 say thank you.'' So can someone please add that as well {{User|35.137.237.68}}

== Does there still need to be the rewrite template on the page? ==

It was tagged about 4 years ago, I would think that the rewrite has happened by now.{{unsigned|Eggdogchao}}
:Given how there are still some errors in the article to this day. That notice will not be removed, even if it has been 4 years, the notice will be removed some day if the article meets the [[MarioWiki:Good writing|standards]] for a quality article (that doesn't mean it has to nesecearlly reach FA status either, even if it'd be nice). {{User: Shadic 34/sig}} 09:27, March 3, 2023 (EST)
Actually, I think I'll remove the notice myself once I've proofread the entire history section and fix any errors left in the article. {{User: Shadic 34/sig}} 09:48, March 7, 2023 (EST)
:The article has major issues with its writing quality, basically storybook-like writing rather than encyclopedia-writing. The word "fortunately" and "unfortunately" are common. The Yoshi's Island games have most issues. Take this sentence: "Kamek and Bowser simply set out to steal all the children of the Mushroom Kingdom, only to have their quarry escape their grasps one way or another and join Yoshi in a quest to free the other children." "Quarry". The referal to Yoshi as "the dinosaur" or "dinosaur-like hero" is scattered. These issues were the reason the article was tagged a long time ago and if there were rewrite attempts made since, these issues persist. Unfortunately! ;p {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 10:54, March 7, 2023 (EST)
::Actually, I think I remember having removed most mentions of "the dinosaur" on the article a while ago (like, 2022 maybe) but I'll check later if any new or old mentions of "the dinosaur" are still present. {{User: Shadic 34/sig}} 11:19, March 7, 2023 (EST)

== Yoshi in New Super Mario Bros. Wii ==

Doesn't Yoshi also appear in World Coin-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)? It's not listed amongst the levels he appears in on the wiki page.

Through experimentation, I have also found that Yoshis also do not trigger Jumbo Rays to chirp, do not trigger floating barrels to sink, do not have a proper animation for entering horizontal pipes, and cannot hit Flying ? Blocks for items. Yoshi also does not loose momentum when flutter-jumping if the player is not moving with the D-pad, though I have no idea if this mechanic applies in other games:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjhG7ha20AA
{{unsigned|Jumbo Ray}}
:<s>What are you referring to by "World Coin-5"? Like the arcade game, or an actual world in NSMBW that I don't know about? Because I don't think "World Coin" is a world in that game, maybe you're referring to World 9? I'm a bit confused on that part.</s> I will be adding {{world-link|coin|5|World Coin-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} in the list of levels Yoshi and his [[Yoshi (species)|specie]]s have appeared in, and the part about Yoshi's mechanics seem interesting and maybe worth putting into the article, so maybe I'll add them later. {{User: Shadic 34/sig}} 09:00, March 23, 2023 (EDT)

== Yoshi's quotes ==

Since I'm making a "[[User:Shadic 34/sandbox/List of Yo'ster quotes|list of Yoshi quotes]]" page, I would like to know more instances where Yoshi speaks in a game. The games I've listed so far are: ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', ''[[Super Mario RPG]]'', ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', ''[[Fortune Street]]'', ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Party]]''. {{User: Shadic 34/sig}} 13:19, March 30, 2023 (EDT)
:''[[Mario Party 3]]''. (Side note: this very subject was one of my past April Fools' jokes on another Wiki.) <span style="font-family:Mario Party 2/3 Textbox">[[User:RickTommy|RickTommy]] ([[User talk:RickTommy|talk]])</span> 07:11, April 1, 2023 (EDT)
::Thank you very much! And also, I wonder what wiki you made an April Fools joke on specifically? {{User: Shadic 34/sig}} 07:54, April 1, 2023 (EDT)

== Yoshi’s voice in Super Mario Brothers Wonder, etc.. ==

I think Kazumi Totaka voices Yoshi in the Super Mario Brothers Wonder game, but I noticed his name does not appear in the credits. I believe his voice work of that character in the game is uncredited. Kazumi Totaka is still voicing Yoshi, but I hear nobody else is taking over the voice for future Mario games.

Please make this change to the Yoshi page: “In the video games, Yoshi has been voiced by Kazumi Totaka since Yoshi's Story (who also composed the musical score for the game) from 1997 and onwards.”
