I just noticed that the Italian version of Wonky's tale about the Yoshi's colors reveals much more than the English version. You can see the actual text here:<br />

As confirmed by a recent [https://x.com/Stealth40k/status/1778952074090131561 survey] that Nintendo has been sending out related to the remake, his official name seems to be "Yoshi Kid". I think his name should be changed to that once the remake releases. {{User|ReeceeYT}} 03:57, April 13, 2024 (EDT)

: He's also been referred to as simply "Yoshi" in other [https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1781035046343721234 marketing] [https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/1779796832878555256 material] for the remake, so that seems to be the more commonly used name? It is bizarre though that "Yoshi Kid" was used in the survey. We'll have to see what happens by the time the remake releases, I guess.

::In-game that name is used for his music track so yeah. That is the newest official name to refer to him, so it makes sense to move to it. -[[User:Kirbeat|Kirbeat]] ([[User talk:Kirbeat|talk]]) 19:11, May 25, 2024 (EDT)
:::What's kinda funny is that this article was originally named "Yoshi Kid" from the start, up until ''Super Paper Mario'' called him "Yoshi" through the Catch Card. It was decided upon that "Yoshi Kid" was not the character's official name... but, now that it IS officially used in the game after all, it might be worth considering scouring through official sources if the "Yoshi Kid" name had been used before. After all, the Nintendo Switch release seems to have kept most character names in the English translation intact, even down to the whole "[[Goomboss|Chestnut King]]" thing from Luigi's story. {{User:Arend/sig}} 20:00, May 25, 2024 (EDT)
::::"Yoshi Kid" comes from his counterparts in the ''first'' Paper Mario that you have to play hide-and-seek with (and is presumably used in reference to this guy now for consistency with that).... which supports the idea that this page should just be merged with Baby Yoshi. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:05, May 26, 2024 (EDT)
:::::Absolutely not, this character is definitely notable enough to have his own article. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 21:26, May 26, 2024 (EDT)
::::::Well, he's the only Baby Yoshi in the game, so it can be viewed as a character/species inconsistency like the one that is one of the main characters in ''Tetris Attack'', or the important Lakitu in ''Minion Quest'' that never got its own page despite appearing alongside others, or how DK Jr or Koopa Kid appeared as a species when they needed to be. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:35, May 26, 2024 (EDT)
:::::::Only Yoshi kid in the game or not, he's a major character and it will be very bad organisation if we cram it all in the [[Baby Yoshi]] article rather than giving the major character his own article. If we can split [[Bob-omb (Paper Mario: The Origami King)]] or [[Ruddy Road Paint Guy]] (the latter I attempted to propose merging which failed), then there's no reason this Yoshi Kid can't stay split. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 21:49, May 26, 2024 (EDT)
::::::::Inclined to agree with Nightwicked. This Yoshi is a separate character with a unique design (well, ''six'' unique designs) not shared with any character, plus he got his own personality.<br>Also, I REALLY doubt someone thought to name this article "Yoshi Kid" because of the Yoshi Kids from the first game ''back in 2005'', when [[Fearsome 5|the most relevant article for them]] wasn't created until 2007. It's a biiit of a stretch. The way I see it, either someone made up the "Yoshi Kid" name on the spot when creating this article, or they got the name from some place that's inaccessible now (e.g. the official ''Paper Mario: The Thosand-Year Door'' website. Not sure if that ever called it "Yoshi Kid", but it wouldn't surprise me). {{User:Arend/sig}} 22:11, May 26, 2024 (EDT)
:::::::::Eh, I wouldn't be surprised if some internal ''Paper Mario'' documentation was still around for localizers to look at. "Oh hey, 'Chibi Yoshi' was translated as 'Yoshi Kid' in their only other appearance in this series." Maybe they didn't think to cross-reference ''Super Smash Bros.'' this time, and that's all there is to it. But as for a merge? I'm with Nightwicked, and keep in mind, even if you ignore the inconsistencies with Baby Yoshi translations, this character in particular still has a unique second name (Great Gonzales Jr.) and 'Yoshi' is just the default name. (For that matter, it looks like 'Mini-Yoshi' and 'Yoshi Kid' are still too long since they kept the 8-character limit.)

:I support a move to "Yoshi Kid", since it's the name used in-game in the Sound Gallery. --[[User:Dorsal Axe|Dorsal Axe]] ([[User talk:Dorsal Axe|talk]]) 14:08, May 26, 2024 (EDT)
::I'm attempting to move the pages since Yoshi Kid's name was confirmed, but I don't know how to do it unfortunately. -[[User:Jude da Dude]]
:::As [[Yoshi Kid]] already exists (as a redirect), an administrator would need to delete that page in order for this article to be moved to that title. --[[User:Dorsal Axe|Dorsal Axe]] ([[User talk:Dorsal Axe|talk]]) 17:39, May 26, 2024 (EDT)
