'''Yoshi''' (sometimes called '''Yoshi Kid''') is [[Mario]]'s fourth party member in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He's a spunky little kid and the youngest of Mario's party members (being newborn). His purpose in the overworld is to allow Mario to ride him and move him around much faster and use a [[Flutter Jump]]-like ability to cross gaps (like [[Lakilester]] and [[Parakarry]] in the first ''[[Paper Mario]]''). In battle, he starts out with [[Ground Pound]] and [[Gulp]]. If he is once powered up, he learns [[Mini-Egg]]. When he is powered up a final time, he learns [[Stampede]].

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===

[[Image:Paper-mario-2-yoshi-hatching.jpg|190px|left|thumb|Yoshi hatching out of his egg.]]

While Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]] and [[Flurrie]] are fighting in [[Glitzville]]'s [[Glitz Pit]], they find that one of the fighter teams, the [[Armored Harriers]], seem to be impervious to any attack they use. At an earlier time, Mario had found a [[Yoshi Egg]] bouncing around, being chased by the owner of the [[Hot Dog Stand]], [[Mr. Hoggle]]. (who had hopes of making a [[Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness]] with it). Mario eventually caught it, and Mr. Hoggle allowed him to keep it as most people "don't like to eat things that move". After Mario returns from his problematic battle with the Armored Harriers, the egg hatches into a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] kid who thanks Mario. He then joins Mario (who he knows as [[Gonzales|Mario]]), who proceeds to name him. The Yoshi Kid can defeat the Armored Harriers by [[Gulp|eating them and spitting them at each other]]. He travels with [[Mario]] for the rest of the game.

At the end of the adventure, he goes solo at the Glitz Pit, going under the name "'''The Great Gonzales Jr.'''", and is stated to be getting close to the title match. In [[Goombella]]'s letter, the Yoshi challenges the "Great Gonzales" by saying "I could totally take you in the ring now, so bring it!". He is notable for calling Mario "Gonzales" throughout the entire course of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' (in a manner similar to other non-player characters such as [[Goldbob]] and his family); his odd familiarity with this name is due to the fact that Mario took up the pseudonym "Great Gonzales" (upon [[Grubba|Grubba's]] insistence) while fighting in the Glitz Pit. By the end of the game, though, Yoshi would appear to have slowly realized that "Gonzales"'s real name was Mario, but he states that Mario will always be Gonzales to him.

===''Super Paper Mario''===

In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Yoshi appears as a [[Catch Card]] won by winning the [[Duel of 100]] in the [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. [[Francis]] has a collection of seven Yoshi dolls, each one a different color. Lastly, Yoshi, along with all the other [[partners]] from the previous ''Paper Mario'' titles appear in a photograph at [[Mario's House]] during the introduction.

==Color==

[[File:Yoshi_kids.PNG|center]]

The color of Yoshi is determined and will stay the same for the rest of the game, by the amount of time that passes between the point where its egg joins Mario's party atop the Hot Dog Stand to when Mario eventually meets the newborn dinosaur after running from the Armored Harriers. The egg starts off with a green Yoshi Kid inside, and changes color every few minutes, as shown on the chart below. If more than twenty minutes elapse before the Yoshi hatches, the cycle restarts. The color has no effect on his power, despite popular belief.

*As stated above, Yoshi's Glitz Pit origins resulted in him calling [[Mario]] by the name "Gonzales" throughout the whole course of ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. As a matter of fact, Yoshi only calls him "Mario" six times in the game: once at the ending of the game, once more in [[Grubba]]'s office when reading his secret paper about the machine under the ring, then at [[Twilight Town]] when the [[Creepy Steeple|steeple]] bell rings, changing [[Mayor Dour]] into a [[pig]], another time at [[Keelhaul Key]] after [[Frankie]] says "I love you" 100 times, one more time at the very end of Chapter 5 when the [[Pianta]]s say they're staying on Keelhaul Key, and yet again if Mario brings him along to the top of [[Riddle Tower]] for the first time. Although the use of "Mario" in the ending was deliberate and even played somewhat of a role in Yoshi's character development, the other listings were likely a mistake on the developers' part.

*Yoshi is one of two [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] that can be seen outside of battle in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''; the other one is seen on the Excess Express, as an adult.

*There are only two possible times throughout the game in which more than one person can ride on Yoshi's back at one time, once during the short period of time where Admiral Bobbery is following the player in his house and again when Flavio temporarily joins Mario's party in Chapter 5.

*Artwork shows Yoshi hatching from the egg as Mario is standing next to him, suprised, but in the game, Yoshi hatches while Mario is still in his battle with the [[Armored Harriers]].

*During the 2nd fight with [[Doopliss]], after defeating [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], and [[Flurrie]],  Yoshi will appear, but, no matter what his nickname is, his enemy name is "[[Yoshi]]".

*The Yoshi is currently the only nameable partner in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]].
