History

Super Mario series

Super Mario World

Yoshis debuted in Super Mario World, where they can be hatched from an egg if Mario or Luigi find them. In this game, Yoshis can eat enemies to defeat them, including enemies Mario and Luigi can't normally defeat on their own, such as Spinies. Yoshi, the Green Yoshi, can also use this ability to receive different powers depending on which color of Koopa shell he is holding in his mouth. These abilities are:

  • Green Shell – Nothing
  • Red Shell – Spitting Fireballs
  • Blue Shell – Flying
  • Yellow Shell – Ground Pound
  • Rainbow Shell – Flying, Ground Pound, and Spitting Fireballs

Yoshis can also eat Berries in this game, each of which have different effects. If a Yoshi eats ten Red Berries in the same level, he will lay an egg which hatches into a Super Mushroom. If it eats two Pink Berries in the same level, it will lay an egg that hatches into a coin-throwing cloud. This cloud will reward the player with a 1-Up Mushroom should they catch all the coins. Green Berries will add twenty seconds to the timer.

In the SNES version of the game, Yellow, Red and Blue Yoshis can only be hatched from eggs in the Star World, and only the Green Yoshi can be found in Dinosaur Land. However, in the Game Boy Advance remake of the game, the different colored Yoshis appear at random in Dinosaur Land after they are discovered in the Star World. If Mario or Luigi beats a level while riding a Yoshi, it follows him to the next level. However, Yoshis are forbidden from entering Ghost Houses and Castles, and will wait for Mario and Luigi outside until they've finished the level.

Super Mario Sunshine

In Super Mario Sunshine, the Yoshis start out as green but change to a different color once they eat a Fruit upon hatching. They also turn green if they are about to die from not eating another Fruit for a long time, or when they drown in water. While green, Yoshis spit water instead of juice.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

However, if the player reaches the Flagpole with Yoshi, Mario or the other character riding Yoshi will dismount Yoshi and him will give to the player an bye. Therefore, only certain levels can be found with Yoshis.
