- “This dragon looks scary, but he likes you and can fly.”
- —Message Block in Cloud Cruising, Yoshi's Story
Dragons, also named Serpents,[1] are friendly characters that appear in Yoshi's Story. They serve as platforms that a Yoshi must ride on in order to traverse two specific levels. They are present in only two stages. The first, a green dragon, is seen during the third part of Cloud Cruising. When jumped on, the creature starts flying across the air. It acts merely as a moving platform. The second, a red dragon, is later seen in the Magma Castle. This dragon acts similarly to its green equivalent, but it swims in lava rather than flying in air.
Profiles and statistics
- Message Block information for the red Dragon: This dragon is your friend. He'll carry you across the lava sea.
- Shogakukan guide: 広い空も溶岩の海もス〜イスイ。背 中に乗れば、どこへだって行けそう。[2] (It can travel smoothly through both the wide sky and the sea of lava. If you ride on their back, you can go anywhere you want to go.)
- Message Block information for the green Dragon (set to German): Drachenritt Er sieht böse aus, ist aber ein netter Kerl, Reite auf ihm. Große Höhe macht ihm nichts aus, er ist völlig schwindelfrei. (Dragon ride He looks evil, but he's a nice guy, ride him. Great height does not bother him, he is completely free from giddiness.)
