'''Yoshi's Island''' is where [[Yoshi]] was first discovered (and where his [[Yoshi (species)|species]] appears to be native to), hence his name.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1991|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|page=19|quote=Yoshi was first discovered on Yoshi's Island, that's how he got his name.|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> The island first appears in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where it is part of a larger region called [[Dinosaur Land]]. | '''Yoshi's Island''' is where [[Yoshi]] was first discovered (and where his [[Yoshi (species)|species]] appears to be native to), hence his name.<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1991|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|page=19|quote=Yoshi was first discovered on Yoshi's Island, that's how he got his name.|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo}}</ref> The island first appears in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', where it is part of a larger region called [[Dinosaur Land]]. | ||

Similar to ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]'', the island was locked inside a pop-up book, this time known as the [[Forbidden Pop-Up Book]]. A spirit, named [[Hongo]], felt threatened by Bowser and tried to lock him away in the book.

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]], it goes by the name '''Yo’ster Isle''' (also named '''Yoshtar Island''' on one occasion<ref>{{cite|date=November 1995|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 38|page=73 | In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch remake]], it goes by the name '''Yo’ster Isle''' (also named '''Yoshtar Island''' on one occasion<ref>{{cite|date=November 1995|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 38|page=73}}</ref>), which is closer to the Japanese name of the ''Super Mario World'' rendition of the island. It is an optional area of [[Mario World|Mario's world]] and can be easily bypassed by ignoring the [[Pipe Vault]] and moving on to [[Moleville]]. The island is home to many Yoshis of various colors. Yoshis find entertainment in the [[Mushroom Derby]], a short race on the island's track. The Yoshis of the island enjoy racing and hold the derby often. The island is also a famous tourist destination; for many years, people from around the world have traveled to Yo’ster Isle to experience its many features.<ref name=NP>{{cite|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=24|date=1996}}</ref> | ||
Yo’ster Isle is connected to the mainland by a [[Warp Pipe]] to the Pipe Vault. The island is rich with vegetation and scattered with trees, with small, open shelters made of wooden poles and covered with leafy roofs. Most of the Yoshis cannot actually speak directly to humans; only [[Yoshi]] can communicate with [[Mario]], and acts as translator when talking to the other [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s. Besides Yoshi himself, there are several important Yoshis: [[Boshi]], a blue Yoshi known for his unsociable behavior, and the small, green [[Baby Fat]] who hatches and grows during the course of the game, though never leaves the small nest. If Mario feeds him enough [[Yoshi Cookie|Cookie]]s, he will eventually be rewarded with a few rare items, including [[Red Essence]]. | Yo’ster Isle is connected to the mainland by a [[Warp Pipe]] to the Pipe Vault.
