| The '''''Yoshi'' series''' is a series of [[games]] that star [[Yoshi]], who was introduced to the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' games]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Though he has his own series, Yoshi does still appear quite frequently in the ''Mario'' series. The ''Yoshi'' series includes characters from the ''Mario'' series, (usually as their [[Star Children|baby forms]]), as well. Both series take place on [[Mushroom World]] in two different timelines; the past and present.
| |
| | |
| The ''Yoshi'' series' plot has varied greatly over the years. The main titles generally revolve around the kidnapping of [[Baby Luigi]]. [[Baby Mario]] must then be escorted and protected by [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] as he traverses through several [[world]]s to rescue his younger brother. However, ''Yoshi's Story'', a main title, did not deal with the Mario Bros. at all; it dealt with the kidnapping of the [[Super Happy Tree]].
| |
| | |
| The other titles have varied somewhat in plot as well. While ''Yoshi'' and ''Yoshi's Cookie'' were [[wikipedia:Tetris|''Tetris'']]-like puzzle games with no actual plot, ''[[Yoshi's Universal Gravitation]]'' had an entirely different story from both the main and puzzle titles. This game revolved around Yoshi having to rescue [[Yoshi's Island (place)|his island]] which has been turned into a storybook. In ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', no concrete plot was revealed, similar to the puzzle games.

| |
| | ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' is the first game in the series. It is a two-dimensional puzzle game, with elements similar to those of [[wikipedia:Tetris|''Tetris'']]. The rules are fairly basic: the [[player]] must stack the same enemies on top of each other to make them disappear; the more the player does this, the more points they earn.

| |
| | Just as ''Yoshi'' did, ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'' used many of the same elements found in ''Tetris''. In order for the player to earn points and clear a stage, he or she has to have an entire row or column of the same type of cookie lined up. Six type of cookies could be found in the game: Heart Cookies, Sunflower Cookies, Green Cookies, Checkered Cookies, Donut Cookies, and [[Yoshi Cookie]]s. A remake later appeared in ''[[Nintendo Puzzle Collection]]'' on the [[Nintendo GameCube]], along with ''[[Dr. Mario (game)|Dr. Mario]]'' and ''[[Tetris Attack|Panel De Pon]]''.

It's gameplay involved square panels rising from the bottom (called the "stack") and the player has to line up three or more matching panels either horizontally or vertically as the stack rises. The game was released on both the [[SNES]] and the [[Game Boy]].

After [[Baby Bowser]] turned [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] into a [[picture book]], he stole the Super Happy Tree. At this point, six baby [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] must traverse through six different worlds in order to reclaim the Super Happy Tree and return Yoshi's Island back to its original state.

Once Yoshi has collected the required amount of [[Happiness Medal]]s, Yoshi can defeat [[Bowser]] and save his home. This was one of only two Gyro-Sensitive games to be released on the Game Boy Advance; the other was ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]''.

| |With the release of Super Smash Bros. in 1999, Nintendo started the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. Though the series was more of a crossover series for all of Nintendo's major series, it has featured five different Mario characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, and Dr. Mario. Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Wario have also appeared as playable characters, however they are shown to represent their own series. In the games, players would select whichever character they wanted, and would then fight against each other on a specific stage. Each character had different move-sets, clearly defining them from one another. Characters could also use items to harm other characters or help themselves in some way. The game was an all-out fight between some of Nintendo's most popular video game characters. Yoshi is the only character from the Yoshi series represented in this series, and there has always been at least one Yoshi's island stage in each game.

| |
| |[[Yoshi]] is the star of the entire ''Yoshi'' series, thus each game revolves around him and his friends. He is a friendly dinosaur who lives on and protects Yoshi's Island from the evil forces that bring chaos there. Yoshi is notorious for carrying the babies on his back, escorting it while on a mission. His powers are fairly widespread in the ''Mario'' series, but are somewhat limited in the ''Yoshi'' series. He can throw [[Yoshi Egg]]s after swallowing enemies, [[flutter]] through the air, and can [[Ground Pound]] various objects. Yoshi goes to far lengths to protect his island and its inhabitants.

Whenever Kamek attempts to kidnap Baby Mario, he fails, leaving Baby Mario in the care of the Yoshis as he sets out to rescue his brother. Baby Mario has the ability to become completely invincible to all attacks in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' after collecting a [[star]]. Baby Mario also possesses the power to make Yoshis run more swiftly.

He is an odd-looking dog, considering the fact that he doesn't have ears and a nose, and that his lips are protruding. Poochy comes in handy if the Yoshis need to cross certain terrains that is inaccessible to the Yoshis; thus, the Yoshis ride Poochy across said terrain, taking them to a safe environment.

Even as a baby, he showed a great love for money, as seen in a few cinemas throughout the game. Baby Wario, though kidnapped, was set free due to his greedy, spoiled, and whiny personality. When the Yoshis find him, they allow Baby Wario to accompany them, though it is for a short duration. Baby Wario has a giant magnet which allows him to attract any metallic object – even [[coin]]s.

His role in the games was relatively basic and short: to deliver the babies, either to their parents or to a [[Stork Stop]]. The Stork didn't speak in any games, and implied no complex personality. Not much is known about him, but he has always been there to help the Yoshis take care of the babies.

He is a blue-cloaked [[Magikoopa]] who is notable for stealing the babies of the Mushroom World. Kamek commonly uses his magic to enhance certain enemies into bosses for the Yoshis to fight. When that fails, he tries again – but alas, the Yoshis always prevail over Kamek, foiling his evil plots. Though Kamek has appeared in other ''Mario'' games, (such as ''[[Mario Party DS]]'' and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''), as a minor enemy or boss, his largest antagonist role is in the ''Yoshi'' series.

During the events of ''Yoshi's Island DS'', He serves as the main antagonist. Bowser travels back in time to find the seven [[Star Children]], in hopes of receiving their power; if he were to receive their power, he could conquer the universe. Bowser kidnapped as many children as he possibly could, (including his infant self), in order to get the seven Star Children. However, the Star Children eventually foil Bowser's plan, forcing him to return to his original time.

Shy Guys come in many different colors, and some of their sub-species do as well. Shy Guys are never the main antagonists in a ''Yoshi'' game, but there have been a few [[Bosses]] based on Shy Guys.

| |[[Human]]s are a race that appear in most Yoshi games, however most of them only appear as babies. Humans play their most important role in [[Yoshi's Island DS]], where Bowser attempts to kidnap several Human babies which he believes are the [[Star Children]], which will give him the power to take over the world. The Yoshis save several on these babies and join forces to defeat Bowser.

| |
| |The [[Egg Block]] is an item found only in the ''Yoshi'' series and ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' (possibly as reference, since they appear in the level [[The Yoshi-Go-Round|The Secret of the Yoshi-Go-Round]]). They are small white cubes with spots on them – the color of the spots will tell you what is does. The green egg block, when hit, eject an unlimited number of [[Yoshi Egg]]s for the player to utilize in that [[level]]. Up to six Yoshi Eggs will come out of an Egg Block. The yellow block however will give out only 1 yellow egg. And the red block will only give out 1 red egg. the purple block is different from the others, it expands and acts as a boost for the player.

| |
| |[[Yoshi Eggs]] are a staple of any ''Yoshi'' game. They are not only a weapon for the Yoshis to use against enemies, but they are also tools that can be utilized to solve certain puzzles. By swallowing an enemy, a Yoshi can lay an egg. In addition to the standard green Yoshi eggs, there are also yellow and red ones. The yellow ones can be received by hitting a yellow Egg Block – the red ones can be received from red Egg Blocks. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', yellow and red eggs can hatch into [[Baby Yoshi]]s of their respective color. [[Giant Yoshi Egg]]s are another type of egg found in the series; they are formed by swallowing [[Fat Guy]]s.
