“Fake Yoshi nearby! This copycat mimics real Yoshi's moves, so trick it into the spikes.”

—Message Block, Yoshi's New Island

Fake Yoshis are enemies in Yoshi's New Island. These Shy Guys disguise themselves as Yoshi. They appear only in the level Inside the Outside, where they can be summoned by striking a Winged Cloud; when it is stricken, a Shy Guy appears and turns into a Fake Yoshi. The player can control the Fake Yoshi. The Pink Yoshi must then lead the Fake Yoshi into a spike pit. Once the Fake Yoshi falls on a spike, the Shy Guy reveals itself before being defeated. In its true form, it is shown to be white with green spots like a Yoshi egg.

• Shogakukan guide: にせヨッシーに化ばけて、こちらとまったく同おなじ動うごきをする。直接ちょくせつは攻擊こうげきできないので、こちらと同おなじように動うごく性質せいしつを利用ちようし、針山はりやまに落おとして倒たおそう。 (It is a fake Yoshi, and moves in exactly the same way as this one. Since you cannot attack it directly, take advantage of the fact that it moves in the same way as you do, and drop it into a needle pit to defeat it.)
