Yoshi
Yoshi, properly known as T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas, had been held captive in an egg until Mario (homo nintendonus) bopped along and rescued him. Instantly, the young dinosaur and the plumber became fast friends. Together, they set out to rescue Yoshi's dinosaur pals from the wickedness of Bowser.

Trophies
| # | Name | Image | First Game/Move | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Yoshi (Classic) |
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) |
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) |
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 | 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."

| 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.

Snake's codec
- Snake: Otacon! What's this lizard thing?
- Otacon: That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for its long, chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swallowed whole.
- Snake: It lays eggs and throws them, right? ...Then it must be female.
- Otacon: ...Actually, it's a "he." At least, that's what it says.
- Snake: It talks!?
- Otacon: Yes! It talks! Well, kind of...
- Snake: Now you've got me curious. ...How about I capture one so we can see what they taste like?
- Otacon: Uhh, Snake...

SNES Super Mario World (8/1991) SNES Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (10/1995) |
As dependable a partner as one could hope for, Yoshi often aids Mario in his adventures. Yoshi can swallow just about anything and make an egg of it instantly. He's got some serious airborne power, making launching opponents skyward and then following up with more attacks a wise choice. |
| Yoshi (Alt.) |  |
N/A | Yoshi's up special move Egg Throw is a projectile attack that travels farther the longer the button is held. Yoshi will also rise a bit if this move is used in midair. The side special Egg Roll turns Yoshi into a rolling, damaging egg. Yoshi won't roll off an edge if no directions are pressed. |

| Name | Image | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Super Dragon |  |

Palutena's Guidance
- Pit: It's Yoshi!
- Viridi: Let me get this straight. Yoshi lays eggs, but he's actually male?
- Pit: Uhh, shouldn't you know that, O goddess of Nature?
- Viridi: There's nothing natural about this guy!
- Pit: Yeah, I see your point.
- Palutena: Well, all living beings contain both female and male elements. It appears that Yoshi is no different.
- Pit: I wonder what's inside all those eggs... Chocolate?
- Palutena: Focus, Pit. If you use your shield when Yoshi's pulling off an Egg Roll, you can grab him. Keep that in mind.
