It is known that he had been the pet of President Koopa for some time, during which he suffered extensive physical abuse and was derisively called a "throwback". However, when [[Princess Daisy (film character)|Princess Daisy]] was captured, she befriended him, with Yoshi later getting stabbed by [[Lena]] for grabbing her leg with his tongue when trying to save Daisy. He survived, however, and bid farewell to the Mario brothers along with Daisy and [[Toad (film character)|Toad]] after Koopa was defeated.

It is established that Koopa has had Yoshi as a pet for some time. Under Koopa's ownership, Yoshi is chained up at the neck in his own room where he has experienced physical abuse and was derisively referred to as a "throwback". Upon Daisy's capture, she was held in the same room that Yoshi resided in. Daisy, though wary at first, befriends Yoshi as Koopa introduces the two formally. He warns Daisy to not move her "hands around like a wounded animal" around Yoshi. During this same conversation, Yoshi attempts to lick Koopa's legs and a disgusted Koopa kicks him in the face. Once they're alone together, Daisy sympathizes with Yoshi and his attempts to bite through his chain.

Later, Lena attempts to murder Daisy wielding a knife but is stopped by Yoshi's long tongue that pulls her towards him. Lena stabs Yoshi, giving Daisy enough time to escape out of the room. During Daisy's first meeting with her father, a wounded but unchained Yoshi enters the room with the knife still lodged into his neck region. Daisy helps him remove the knife from his body.
