Tiny spirits
The Yoshi Island Spirits[citation needed] are characters that only appear in the game Yoshi Topsy-Turvy. Each spirit gives Yoshi a mission, and if Yoshi completes the mission, they give him a Happiness Medal. Their leader is Hongo, the book spirit. The spirits include:
Hongo
- Main article: Hongo
Hongo is the leader of the Yoshi Island Spirits and the spirit in control of the Forbidden Pop-Up Book. He is responsible for accidentally sealing Yoshi's Island in the Forbidden Pop-Up Book and for the banishment of the Spirit Who Loves Surprises. He is elderly and pious, because he wanted to help Yoshi but accidentally sealed Yoshi Island in the Forbidden Pop-Up Book, and did not bring Yoshi Island back to normal because Bowser would attack the island again. Another example of this, when Yoshi defeats Bowser, he gets very grateful for Yoshi and makes him a meal, and accepts the spirit Who Loves Surprises to work with him again.
Spirit Who Loves Surprises
- Main article: Spirit Who Loves Surprises
The Spirit Who Loves Surprises is a lively spirit who gives Yoshi the power to rotate the entire world, helped him throughout the game, explained what he must do to have Yoshi Island turn back to normal, and hosted the Bonus Mission!. He was fired by Hongo, because he did not know how to keep secrets. At The Tale of Bowser's Fields, he controls a fake Bowser to attack Yoshi as a test to see if he is ready to battle with Bowser. At the end of the game, the spirit Who Loves Surprises returns to work with Hongo.
Spirit of Cuteness

The Spirit of Cuteness loves cute things more than anything else and is very friendly. She cares very much about the Egglings and explained to Yoshi what Bowser did with the Egglings and asks Yoshi to save them.

Spirit of Power
