Winged Yoshi is a power-up form of the Yoshis that first appears in Super Mario World. In this form, Yoshi gains wings and the power of flight.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World[edit]

In Super Mario World, Winged Yoshi can be accessed in one of two ways: by having any Yoshi eat a Blue Shell (or by having a Blue Yoshi eat any shell), or by grabbing Yoshi's Wings. The latter incidentally turns any Yoshi into a Blue Yoshi after the player finishes the current stage, though only in the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo Entertainment System version. The Yoshi's flight is controlled differently, depending on Mario or Luigi's current form. If he is in Cape form, the player needs to simply hold B Button (or A Button in the GBA reissue) to fly; if not, the player has to tap the button, as with Raccoon Mario or Tanooki Mario in the previous game.

Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Winged Yoshi returns in the multiplayer mode of Super Mario 64 DS as Yoshi's answer to the other characters' Wing forms.

Yoshi[edit]

Winged Yoshi makes a small appearance in Yoshi, where it will hatch from a Yoshi Egg depending on the number of enemies sandwiched between the two halves (5 or 6 on Family Computer/NES and 4 or 5 on Game Boy) and reward the player 200 points.

Yoshi's Cookie[edit]

After clearing the 10th round of Puzzle Mode in the Super Famicom and Super Nintendo Entertainment System version of Yoshi's Cookie, the player is taken to a congratulations screen with Cape Mario and a Winged Yoshi.

Super Mario World television series[edit]

In the Super Mario World animated series episodes "Ghosts 'R' Us," "The Night Before Cave Christmas," and "Born to Ride," Yoshi transforms into Winged Yoshi after gaining a pair of Magic Wings.

Super Mario Adventures[edit]

In Super Mario Adventures, after eating a Koopa Troopa wearing a Blue Shell, Yoshi becomes Winged Yoshi, which allowed him to fly with Mario and Luigi on his back. Yoshi accidentally spat out this Blue Shell later, causing him to lose his Winged form.

Mario Strikers Charged[edit]

The Winged Yoshi form makes an appearance in Mario Strikers Charged, where Yoshi briefly gains it while using his Mega Strike.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Yoshi's Super Dragon Final Smash turns him into a Winged Yoshi capable of breathing fire.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

Winged Yoshis appear in Yoshi's New Island, after a Yoshi grabs a pair of Flutter Wings or Golden Flutter Wings, which are made available either after losing three lives in a level or by losing another one with the Flutter Wings, respectively. Clearing all levels without using either wing power-up lets the player fight Bowser before saving Baby Luigi and the Stork, and the player also views a post-credit scene where Mr. Pipe reveals his true identity.

Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition[edit]

Winged Yoshis appear in Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition as Helpers by unlocking them in the Special Worlds. Winged Green Yoshi is a Wood/Dark attribute team member that is unlocked by clearing ★World 3-Tower; Winged Red Yoshi is a Fire/Wood attribute team member that is unlocked by clearing ★World 4-Tower; Winged Light-Blue Yoshi is a Water/Light attribute team member that is unlocked by clearing ★World 5-Tower; Winged Yellow Yoshi is a Light/Fire team member that is unlocked by clearing ★World 6-Tower 2, and Winged Purple Yoshi is a Dark/Water team member that is unlocked by clearing ★World 7-Tower 2.

Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

In Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, Yoshi becomes Winged Yoshi while the game is in Mellow Mode.[1] Winged Yoshi flies instead of flutter-jumping. Flying is near identical to flutter-jumping, except that the player can hold the A Button button to continuously fly without losing height where as the player has to press A Button at the correct times to flutter-jump at the right intervals to maintain height. After flying, Yoshi keeps flapping their wings as they fall, slowing down the descent. Yoshi flaps his wings while swimming, though not to useful effect. While the Mega Yoshi transformation is a larger form of normal Yoshi, it does not retain the wings.

Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]

This section is a stub. Please consider expanding it to include any missing information.

Winged Yoshi returns in Yoshi's Crafted World, functioning similarly to how it does in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World. In addition, there are five shrunken plastic Winged Yoshi crafts depicted as Green Yoshis found in the course Under Siege.
