Trophies

#	Name	Image	First Game/Move	Description
13	Yoshi (Classic)	File:Trophy13.PNG	Super Mario World 08/91	Yoshis are gentle, fleet-of-foot dinosaurs that make their home on idyllic Yoshi's Island. They come in a variety of colours and have evolved an interesting trait to help increase their numbers: they can transform anything they swallow into an egg. With adhesive tongues and bottomless bellies, Yoshi's have been known to eat anything.
14	Yoshi [Smash] (Adventure)	File:Trophy14.PNG	B: Egg Lay Smash B: Egg Roll	To make up for his lack of powerful airborne attacks, Yoshi has a miraculous jumping ability and is resistant to damage while in the air. Yoshi can also swallow a foe and transform him or her into an egg: try doing this close to an edge! The speed and power of the Egg Roll increases if you hold down the B Button, but it'll be tougher to control.
15	Yoshi [Smash] (All-Star)	File:Trophy15.PNG	Up & B: Egg Throw Down & B: Yoshi Bomb	Yoshi has no third jump, so the timing of his second jump is of vital importance. The angle and distance of his Egg Throw can be altered by how you tilt the Control Stick and how long you press the B Button. When Yoshi lands after doing his Yoshi Bomb, stars appear on either side of him, making it hard for enemies to deliver counterattacks.
292	Mario and Yoshi	File:Trophy292.PNG	Super Mario World 8/91	Yoshi was first introduced in Super Mario World, and the sight of Mario riding the helpful character soon became an enduring image. Despite his Cape, Mario can't fly while astride Yoshi. The pair can make huge jumps and drift slowly back to earth, though. As a last resort, Mario could leap off Yoshi's back to safety.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Bios

• Website: "Yoshi’s back and bursting with personality! He can launch consecutive attacks and even smack around enemies below him mid-flight.
  

Among other things, he can now use his up special move, the Egg Toss, to increase the distance of his jump. That’s enough to earn him a hearty welcome, isn’t it?"

• Instruction Booklet: "A denizen of Yoshi's Island whose huge jumps lend superior air mobility."

Trophies

#	Name	Image	Appearance(s)	Description
9	Yoshi		SNES Yoshi's Safari* N64 Yoshi's Story	A creature that hails from Yoshi's Island. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, and all possess gentle personalities. No matter what problems they face, they always look like they're having fun. Yoshis use their long tongues to grab and swallow fruit and enemies. They can convert what they swallow into eggs, which they then lay. They also give Mario rides.
10	Super Dragon		WII Super Smash Bros. Brawl	Yoshi with wings on his back that give him the power to fly freely across the sky. In this state, he can spew giant fireballs. He is more mobile and powerful, but the inertia makes movement quirky, so it takes some skill to master flight. Yoshi returns to a normal state after a set period of time has passed.

*Note: This is incorrect. Yoshi's debut was in Super Mario World.
