Yoshi in Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS

Is there sufficient proof that the green Yoshi in YI and YI:DS is The Yoshi? The wiki page supports the notion that the ending to YI:DS actually takes place before the original YI game, but that seems illogical to me, and I doubt it was the intention of the designers for one star child to be so much older than the rest (Especially since Kamek is clearly targeting babies and seems to expect all of the star children to be babies). I think it's more likely that the ending to YI:DS was meant to indicate that The Yoshi is a completely different character from the Yoshis that saved Mario, which explains why Yoshi does not recognize Mario when he is found in SMW. Buddy Christ (talk)

Yoshi in Yoshi Story

I wonder if it is possible that the six Yoshis in Yoshi's Story were trapped in eggs by Baby Bowser when he transformed the island, the same way he traps them in Super Mario World. This would explain why they are newborns at the beginning of the game, and yet already know what they need to do. - Buddy

Not likely, Buddy, if the Yoshi hatchlings from Yoshi's Story were "trapped," then how did they hatch? It's more logical they escaped Baby Bowser by fate (the eggs were located "at a remote edge of the island" [Yoshi's Story Instruction Booklet]). Yoshis are an advanced species and are smart. The Yoshi hatchlings probably figured things out for themselves, plus their instincts knew that things were a little "topsy-turvy" with the abduction of the Super Happy Tree. The little Yoshis headed on an adventure by following their instincts (or in this case "gut") by eating fruit that lead them to defeat Baby Bowser and reclaim the Supper Happy Tree. -DarkBlueYoshi

And plus, that my friend is opinionated. It does not deserve to be on the article because that sentence phails we do not want to give out false info Super-Yoshi^{Talk? C???}

Yoshi in Mario Sunshine

Was it actually THE Yoshi in super Mario Sunshine? I thought they were different Yoshi's.

The Yoshi is referred to as "Yoshi" in the instruction manual and player's guide. In the game, Yoshi is green until he eats a fruit, then changes back to green when he either runs out of juice or hits the water. Also, all official artwork shows Mario riding the green Yoshi. -- Son of Suns

It could have just been a Green Yoshi species. Paper Jorge

As stated above, the sources refer to "Yoshi" not "Yoshis". -- Son of Suns

ALL Yoshis are just called "Yoshi" and besides, how can yoshi go from egg to no egg?

Who came from? The Yoshi or the egg?

Drmgin 16:15, 9 January 2009 (EST)

Not really, when they aren't the Yoshi, they usually say a Yoshi, instead of just Yoshi. Although I do agree that they probably are generic Yoshis. Edit: forgot to sign. Myles

THE Yoshi

It is not confrimed if the Yoshi in Super Mario World 1 and 2 is really THE Yoshi. It could just be the green specie. And in Partners in Time it's not confirmed if that's the Yoshi...or is it? Paper Jorge

The Yoshi from Super Mario World is the same Yoshi that is a selectable character in the kart, sports, and party series. In the Mario Party 2 instruction manual, it states that Yoshi is the same Yoshi that saved Mario and Luigi when they were babies. This means that the Yoshi from SMW 2 is the same Yoshi we know and love. Partners in Time is more sketchy. Official artwork depicts the Yoshi with Yoob, and Yoshi certainly acts as he does in other series. That is why I note that the PoT Yoshi is "apparently" the Yoshi, but could be a different one as in Yoshi's Story. -- Son of Suns

It is THE Yoshi, he thinks he remembers Baby Mario! User:Maxlover2

THE Yoshi is born at the end of Yoshi's Island DS. Some random green Yoshi can't be a Star Child. THE Yoshi is also the green one from Yoshi's Story, methinks. The Yoshis from Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS are the parents of the Yoshis in Yoshi's Story. Just theories. If the tide of this debate goes to Yoshi being the green Yoshi born at the end of Yoshi's Island DS, we should probably deleted the Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS section of the biography.

There are some people who think that the Village Leader and Yoshi are the same yoshi.-Informant

It's never been confirmed, though, so we can't put it in the article. Stumpers! 22:51, 13 February 2008 (EST)

I agree with Mariofan, some random green yoshi couldn't be a Star Child. Wouldn't make sense for some random green yoshi to be just as powerful and successful as "the" yoshi, now would it? Mumbles 19:37, 19 May 2008 (EDT)

There was nothing saying that that Yoshi hatching at the end was shown in chronological order. I'd say that Yoshi is the same one that helped Baby Mario. Myles

Nice! That may be the solution. I was just about to remind everyone that an official source (MP2) trumps our speculation, but then you found a solution. Stumpers! 17:29, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

Super Mario Sunshine

I have to question the Bravery on Isle Delfino section for accuracy. In the official (hmm...) art, Yoshi is green. Yet, in reality, Yoshi only turns green when he is just about out of juice. Otherwise, depending on the fruit he swallows last, he is orange, pink or purple. I think THE Yoshi does not appear in SMSS, but instead an Isle Delfino species. Comments? Wa _T^C_@^Y 21:05, 13 December 2006 (EST)

Now looking at the top of the page, I still am not convinced. We don't know what color the Yoshi is inside the egg at first, and honestly, SoS, sometimes you take the guides and manuals a bit too seriously. Also, keep in mind that these Yoshis can't go in deep water, signifying a different species. Wa _T^C_@^Y

The main Yoshi can swim in water (MP and YI series) while the ones on Isle Delfino dissapate when contacting water. A major factor to consider when classifiying it as a Yoshi. Yet there is info contradicting it. Shadow Mario does appear with ONE Yoshi Egg and why is it that when that one yoshi egg is rescued, all Yoshi eggs are accesable. Then again after the Turbo Nozzle is found, all Turbo Nozzles appear. Confusing indeed. Im leaning towards species though.Knife (talk)

Mabey they disapate because they can't swim and hold a plump plumber on there back, or they arn't real Yoshi's just Delfino clones WarioLoaf (talk)

And I don't think any Yoshi for that matter can spray Yoshi Juice. I'm more and more conviced that this a sub-species of Isle Delfino. And hold on. Egg color doesnt neccesarily mean that its a Green Yoshi. (Ex:Yoshi Kid)Knife (talk)

I'm using the most canonical sources available, mainly the Player's Guide and the Instruction Manual. They refer to Yoshi as Yoshi, and use images of a green Yoshi. Yoshi disappearing in water and reappearing in an egg is similar to Super Mario World. In SMW, Yoshi could fall off a cliff or lava, but if you return to where you can find an egg, Yoshi will reappear without a scratch on him. The same applies to Isle Delfino. Note that Yoshi does turn green after he hits the water, meaning the juice changed his color. Maybe the water affects Yoshi because of the juice in his body. Note also that no two Yoshis appear together, meaning we can't say that it isn't one Yoshi reforming in an egg just like in SMW. Plus, Yoshi has changed his color before when coming into contact with an item (SMW again). The fruit is changing his color and possibly his tolerance to water. If Nintendo wanted us to know that there were multiple Yoshis, they could have made a piece of art depiciting a rainbow of Yoshis as they have done in every Yoshi game. Also, in SMW 2: YI, Yoshi could not swim in water, he could float at the surface, showing that Yoshi has different reactions to water in different games. Other traits of Yoshi have also changed. For example, in SMW, Yoshi could destroy a Koopa Troopa outright with one stomp, while in SMW 2: YI, Yoshi could only knock the Koopa Troopa out of its shell. Does that mean they are a different sub-species of Yoshi, the strong stompers and the weak stompers? Of course not. The game mechanics of each game is different. Nintendo wanted to provide a challenge by making Yoshi dissolve in water. Several challenges force Mario to ride Yoshi across platforms surrounded by water to reach an island with yellow goop. There would be no challenge if Yoshi could just swim to the island. Yoshi's tolerance to water changes based on the play mechanics of the game. The juice meter also limits the amount of time Mario can ride the powerful Yoshi. Regardless, official sources say Yoshi, not Yoshis or a Yoshi, so I'm sticking to Yoshi. Guides and manuals are important to understanding Mario games as they provide background information usually not presented in the game itself (unless, of course, the game is an RPG). -- Son of Suns

I have a source that makes almost eveything you just said irrelevant. The Great Sunflower says that the Snooze-A-Koopas have scared all the Yoshi away. Replay Episode 4 in Pinna Park and you'll see.Knife (talk)

Get an exact quote so we can analyze it. In-game material is more canonical than manuals or guides. If the quote confirms more than one Yoshi, we can remove the SMS section of the article. This may make sense, as after the Snooze-A-Koopas are defeated, the Yoshis reappear on Isle Delfino. Please get an exact quote though, as I do not have the game in my possession currently. -- Son of Suns

The wilted Great Sunflower says: Because of these fake eggs, the Yoshis of this island have fled...

Also note that she spells plural Yoshi as Yoshis not Yoshies.Knife (talk)

Brrrr! Video game analyzation is a scary business. 3D

I can't remember the exact quote, but I have the game and after playing the game for a while, you will see the same Toad you normally see by the lighthouse. He will tell you that lot's of Yoshis used to live in Isle Delfino, but he wonders why they aren't there anymore.--PeteyPiranhaLover 18:32, 15 December 2006 (EST)

Thanks for all the help. I'm glad we were able to check facts with canonical sources to make a more accurate article. When I play a Mario game, I try to keep a notebook nearby, just in case some random quote or piece of information will come in handy someday. The Sunflower quote was very helpful. I've removed all info about SMS in this article. We should also remember that the canonical spelling of multiple Yoshis is, in fact, Yoshis, not Yoshies. -- Son of Suns

Is there going to be an article about the Isle Delfino sub-species?Knife (talk)

No. A lot of creatures were changed in Super Mario Sunshine, like the Bob-ombs, but they are still the same creatures. A section about the Yoshis on Isle Delfino could be added to the Yoshi (species) page. -- Son of Suns

I win! I knew the Yoshi in Sunshine wasn't THE Yoshi... Paper Jorge

No actually I win. :-)Knife (talk)

How!? Paper Jorge

I found out about It You just asked I got proof Do the Mario

Or how about we both win? Knife (talk)

I think that the Yoshi on Isle Delfino is not THE Yoshi. If Yoshi were to go to Isle Delfino, he'd probably go with Mario and the gang. The reason he changes color out of nowhere? The fruit grown on Isle Delfino has a chemical reaction with Yoshis' skin. The reason he dissolves in water, dissolves when too hungry, and resides in an egg? The Yoshi on Isle Delfino is probably a very subspecies.

Probably Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, in that the characters that don't speak english have subtitles, the quote is probably one of the things Yoshi says. -- Sir Grodus

Super Mario World

Are you sure that Yoshi was rideable? It could just be a regular Green Yoshi. I do know that the THE Yoshi does appear though.Knife (talk)

Yes. Yoshi pops out of an egg, states his name, and Mario hitches a ride. -- Son of Suns

Wat the? How can Yoshi be older than Mario? I thought this was the same Yoshi in SMW? And there are a bunch of Yoshi eggs, doesn't neccesarily mean its THE Yoshi's egg.Knife (talk)

Why can't Yoshi be older than Mario? The Yoshi in SMW is the same Yoshi as the one in SMW 2: YI. There are a bunch of Yoshi eggs, but if you hit them while Mario is riding Yoshi, a 1-UP Mushroom appears, not another Yoshi. -- Son of Suns

No, I meant it the other way around :-> But how are there a bunch of Yoshi eggs around?Knife (talk)

Yoshi eggs hold items. A few special Yoshi Eggs hold the Blue Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, and Red Yoshi. Also, seven Yoshi babies are trapped in seven eggs held by the Koopalings. Yoshi can emerge from any egg in the field that would otherwise turn into a 1-Up. It's simple play mechanics. It's like when Mario falls in lava, but then reemerges at the start of the level. When a Yoshi egg appears, and Mario is not riding Yoshi, Yoshi appears. The instruction manual states that Bowser and his cohorts trapped Yoshi in an egg, so presumably whenever Yoshi runs away he is resealed in an egg by the Koopas. -- Son of Suns

Yoshi's Story

The yoshi in YS was'nt THE YOSHI. So why is his information in this article? - User: Ultimatetoad

It says in the article that he isn't. However, like Donkey Kong, there are mulitple Green Yoshis simply called Yoshi that serve as courageous defenders of Yoshi's Island. The info is best suited here, just like all DK info (even if it's a "different" DK) should be in the DK article. -- Son of Suns

I know this is an old comment, but... shouldn't we be sure to mention that the article is about the TITLE, and not a character? Just poking around the Wiki it seems that the general impression is that the DK article and the Yoshi article are about a single character. Stumpers! 21:38, 9 March 2008 (EDT)

While its a great article, one thing seems to be missing - The events that took place in Yoshi's Island DS. --Bentendo 13:51, 8 March 2007 (EST)

Well, that's because THE yoshi was born at the end of Yoshi's Island DS, so none of the game's events were about THE yoshi. MarioFan9999 18:29, 10 July 2008 (EDT)

They are also in yellow blocks, I think. I've done it. 3D, SUPER YOSHI BROS.!

In Tall Tall Mountain it is possible by having Yoshi ground pound the big stake all the way down. Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:36, 9 March 2007 (EST)

There is another complex method. Use a cap to transform and break a block containing a Mushroom. After breaking it lose, immediately throw off the cap by taking damage and as Yoshi, collect the roaming mushroom.

Besides all that, I think this article should be deleted. We don't have an article on Metal Waluigi, Metal Peach, etc., do we? The name is also conjecture. All functions of Mushrooms should be listed under the article and the article of the character they effect. Heck, we don't even have an article on Mario and the redirect is in the right place.Knife (talk) 20:36, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Okay, what makes Yoshi an enemy? Someone putted on a category entry in the article... RAP...

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Boshi is a purple, punkish Yoshi on Yo'ster Island that serves as a NPC rival. Technically, this makes him an enemy. In the same game, an actual enemy encountered in battle by the name of Bahamutt strongly resembles a more dragon-like Yoshi, which could be a subspecies or cousin. Both therefore qualify Yoshis as enemies, though I'm sure there's better candidates out there I've overlooked. Redstar 03:12, 26 November 2009 (EST)

FA dispute

I would like to make some notes on why this shouldn't be an FA...

Lead image is both large and blurry.

"Greatest hero" is subjective and opinionated, as is "invaluable".

Too many commas in the second sentence - could be changed to "and has saved his homeland several times."

On that note, I recall that it was many Yoshis, not just this one, who saved Yoshi's Island in all Yoshi games.

"Destructive conquerer" is a silly term and should be removed.

"Yoshi even" - it makes it seem like the article is praising him, not detailing his exploits.

"Thus changing the course of history" - this implies that Yoshi altered the course of history, when him saving Baby Mario and Baby Luigi was always a part of the series' history.

The headers - I don't care if it's creative, they have to be more neutral, and less of them.

On that note, don't capitalize something if it's not a proper noun and if it's not at the beginning of a sentence.

In the very first paragraph, I get the feeling that the article is an ad and is trying to sell me on Yoshi.

That's all for now, but I've only examined the first two paragraphs. - A Link to the Past 15:28, 13 May 2007 (EDT)

I've finished a few of A Link To The Past's recommended changes. The only things left are reducing the amount of headers and making the first paragraph more neutral. Those two have me stumped, so I think I'll defer to someone more experienced to finish what I couldn't. Dinosaur bob 20:42, 18 May 2007 (EDT)

I'm not sure what you mean about the intro, LTTP.... everything in that paragraph is true. He IS a hero, he DID save Baby Mario and Baby Luigi from Kamek, etc..... same with the headers. Could you be a wee bit more specific? - Ultimatetoad

Yoshi Artcile

I've been wondering...Perhaps maybe Yoshi Story comes first... It explains Yoshi's life as a Baby before SMW2. Angry Sun 10:38, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

But I'm not sure if the Green Yoshi in that game is THE Yoshi discussed here. Wa _T^C_@^Y 12:16, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

No, Baby Bowser mention Yoshi being Mario "pet" before you battle him. Gofer

Well now that may have been just a taunt. Angry Sun 13:13, 19 May 2007 (EDT)

It may be one, but it still prove that YS take place after SMW2, since SWM2 was the first meeting between Mario and Yoshi. Gofer

There's also the possibility that Kamek shows Baby Bowser the future. Angry Sun 11:13, 20 May 2007 (EDT)

Then why would Baby Bowser have no idea what Yoshi is when they meet in YI? I find it hard to believe he'd go from calling Yoshi "Mario's pet" to "some kind of green donkey"- in the former, he obviously knows what a Yoshi is, whereas in the latter, he clearly has no clue. Dinosaur bob 08:25, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

Also, Baby Bowser speak a much better english in YS that SMW2. Gofer

Precisely. It makes it a headache for Yoshi himself to not be in Yoshi's Story, but the evidence says what the evidence says. Dinosaur bob 18:50, 4 June 2007 (EDT)

Yoshi's back..

Ok, does anyone know what Yoshi TRUELY has on his back. Is it a shell or a saddle. I know that in the first appearance of yoshi, the "thing(saddle or shell)" was shown with stirrups attached to it. But now in later games, the "thing" is actualy shown increible round, and no saddle is round. That defeats he purpose. HELP!! Mariomadness8

I don't think it's ever been confirmed if it's a saddle or shell. Seeing as it can't be taken off (or so it seems), I would say more like a shell. A shell that stays on a Yoshi for the rest of their lives. BUT we really don't know. Paper Jorge ( Talk·Contributions)·

Not the Yoshi

In SSBB, the Yoshi that appears in the game seems to be the Yoshi as a race, and not as the actual main Yoshi. This is supported by it's trophy descriptions as well as the fact he attacks Mario as if he had never met him before. There is really no evidence to support that it is Yoshi other than playability. Not to mention it's colors are changeable to that of the Yoshis playable in Yoshi story. Am I missing something here? - ForeverDaisy09

Yes, you're missing the fact that the characters in Super Smash Bros. are not the actual characters, but rather, Trophy replicas based on the original characters. The replicas sole meaning of existance is to fight. And, that was a bad assumption, anyway. From your point of view, Mario is a species (lol, BJAODN), because he fights Peach and Luigi as if he has never met them before, and because of all his color changes. It's the character (er... Trophy replica), not the species. ;) My Bloody Valentine

Trivia

I have noticed that the trivia section for this article is overly long. One of the requirements for being a FA is that there should be no improvement tags. So, I was thinking about moving the part about Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy to the cameos section to shorten the trivia section a little bit. Does anyone else think that is a good idea? WK

You go ahead and do that. You're right, the article shouldn't be featured with a template like that. Maybe you could try un-featuring it. But I think the process is not yet fully organized, so you could just merge the trivia into the article, I guess. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

The whole un-featured article concept is just there so that people will be motivated to make the changes that White Knight suggested, not to actually un-feature an article. Just like with a featured article, an opposer (wants to unfeature) would be better to fix the problem (s)he sees, like White Knight wanted to, rather than oppose on the FA page and leave.

Yoshi's Story Artowk

I believe the artwork that was previously in that section was from Mario Party 1. I've moved it to the gallery but we now need a new picture. Assuming that I'm right about the artwork, may I recommend this new one to replace it? [2] To back up my claim about the artwork I moved to the gallery, you'll notice it had marks around it indicating that it previously had a background around it - specifically as though it came from the beach volleyball artwork from that game where Yoshi was in that exact pose.

Playable Yoshis

I've noticed something about the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island level articles. No matter what level they're about, the article refers to the playable Yoshi as "Yoshi". But the playable Yoshis in the game aren't all the character Yoshi. The green one in the first levels of each world is the character, but besides that, the playable Yoshi is pink, azure, yellow, purple, brown, red, and blue (in that order, too). I guess it's fine to just call these playable Yoshis "Yoshi", since it's the name of their species, but there shouldn't be a link to this article if you don't play as the green Yoshi. Uh... right? CrystalYoshi

They should. If they don't currently, change the articles. =) -- Son of Suns (talk)

Super Mario 64 DS

"To do this, Bowser intended to convert the denizens of the worlds accessed via the paintings in Peach's Castle into monsters. With these newfound forces, Bowser was then going to attack the castle, and, potentially, the entire Mushroom Kingdom."

... Is this theory confirmed in the actual game? I recall none of Bowser creating an army of monsters to attack the Mushroom Kingdom.

Isn't there a quote for Yoshi?Count Bonsula I need blood...

Specific

Wait, how is it known the Green Yoshi that appears in games is the same as he Yoshi that appears as a playable character? ForeverDaisy09 20:22, 17 February 2010 (EST)

Well according to the article,Yoshi is sometimes called green Yoshi.I don't know,maybe he's the only green Yoshi in the Marioverse.But if you find two green Yoshis in the same game then you're right.Count Bonsula I need blood...

In Mario & Luigi Superstar saga there are 3 green yoshis. Mikiuz

Template

Didn't anyone notice the rewrite template here? Can someone fix that section right now, I'm not sure what to write there. I mean, we can't have those templates in a FA! Fawfulfury65

To tell the truth, a lot of sections need expanding, like the comic and TV show sections, the Mario Party section, the Super Smash Bros. series, the Mario Golf series, and so on and so forth. Also, tons of more images could be added to this article. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Saddle vs. Koopa Troopa Shell?

It looks more like a Koopa Troopa shell to me. Do we have proof? —★レシイラム^talk

In 2008, my brother always thought that Yoshi wears a Koopa shell. KS3 (talk · contribute) 20:05, 23 April 2010 (EDT)

I dont think it is a Koopa Shell because it doesn't have the line patterns on it and it doesnt have a bottom.Y0SHI3gg 21:19, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

It says it is a shell in the DS version of Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games. You can open a crate or something in the adventure mode that gives you a fact thing about it. Fawfulfury65

Well, why would a Yoshi be wearing a shell called a Koopa Troopa shell. It has no lines and is in a more curved shape than a Koopa Shell. Koopa Shells are slightly larger too. So, I say it's a saddle. MrConcreteDonkey

Well it could be a shell but not a Koopa Shell.Y0SHI3gg 21:20, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Silver Eevee clearly said Koopa Troopa Shell above. And anyway, it looks like no shell I've ever seen before, and strongly resembles a real world saddle. MrConcreteDonkey

Yes but it's called a shell in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, so it must be a shell. Fawfulfury65

Yoshi (Character)

I think we should name this article Yoshi(Character). And we should take (Species) off Yoshi (species) Panther2598

...

Um.There is a glitch in the trivia section.Ya see,theres a decimal and nothing after it and when I press edit the info is there but the decimal is not.Can soneone fix it?

Printing Trouble

This actually applies to all articles, but whenever I want to print one, the advertisement(s) on the side tend(s) to block some potentially important information. Is there any way to fix this?

New Picture

I think we should change the picture! Let's have a poll!

Pic 1

1. General bob-omb (talk) Its a good representation of him in a generic form, considering the fact that he is found in more games w/o ice skates than with, plus pic 3 looks too dull
2. Template:UserǀMortonBoo99 Couldn't decide between 1 or 2, but I think 1 is the best to show because it is the way new people to Mario series would think Yoshi would look in most games. It is! In my opinion, that appearance is in more than 50% of all Mario games.

Pic 2

1. DKPetey99 (talk) Latest picture out of all of them and I think this is the latest profile art.

Pic 3

1. I think that the other Yoshi images

are a little to light in color YoshiMonsta (talk)

Comments

The photo we have now is not the latest. DKPetey99^TCE 16:48, 24 May 2011 (EDT)

Are there multiple of each Yoshi?

I believe that there are many of each Yoshi. But then again what if there isn't? YoshiMonsta (talk)

Christmas Image of Yoshi and Shy Guy

We were looking for pictures of Yoshi, and we found this photo:

We do not know which game is, and also do not know if it is possible to put it in the gallery. Twins Deia & Lica 11:46, 20 December 2011 (EST)

I believe that image was fan-made, not official. It should either be marked as a personal image or deleted. Bop1996 _(Talk)

Fortune Street

Mind if I change the infobox picture to this picture?

Our current one is outdated (it's from Mario Party 8). -- YoshiCookie (talk) 10:15, 10 December 2015 (EST)

Brawl

Hey, in the Snakes Codec conversation, Snake said "Can we catch ONE"... Here: Snake: Now you've got me curious. ...How about I capture one so we can see what they taste like? And he has colorations.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bjdill (talk).

That doesn't prove that the Yoshi in Brawl is the species; if you were examining a species you'd never seen before, and said "let's [action] one", you wouldn't have to be referring to the individual. Bop1996 _(Talk)

Yoshi's typo never changed in Virtual console

After I finished SM64 I went to Yoshi, he still said, "It that really you??" It was never changed, watch this video to see it. [3] YoshiGo99 08:11, 28 January 2012 (EST)

Yoshi's arms in SMW

Im pretty sure his "arms" are just his saddle in-game.

Yoshi in SMBDX

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

I created the Super Mario Bros. Deluxe section, but now I have a doubt: is it Yoshi (the character), or a Yoshi ? Should we move the content of the section to Yoshi (species) ?
Banon (talk · edits) 13:02, 9 March 2013 (EST)

Probably is could be any Yoshi so put Yoshi (species) Lucoshi (talk) 21:15, 15 June 2013 (EDT)

Yoshi

I always thought that the character was pronounced with the "o" as in own but the species is o as in on. Am I right?RPG Gamer. I HAVE RPG!! (talk) 10:32, 31 March 2013 (EDT)

There is no evidence of this (at least in my knowledge).
Banon (talk · edits) 07:11, 1 April 2013 (EDT)

In audible SM64DS dialogue, it is pronounced with a stressed "O" by Princess Peach.

Shokora (talk · edits) 07:15, 1 April 2013 (EDT)

Also, the noise they make is Yoshi with 'an unstressed O. So maybe the species is pronounced differently. RPG Gamer. I HAVE RPG!! (talk) 05:51, 21 April 2013 (EDT)

Paper Mario series

Why isn't that a part of this page?
