Yo'ster Isle, alternatively Yoshtar Island,[1] appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. It is considered World 3 in the Shogakukan guide,[2] while it is still considered a part of World 2: Pond to Pipes in the Player's Guide.[3] In the remake, it is in the Yo’ster Island Region. The island is inhabited by several Yoshis, who often find entertainment in a short track titled the Mushroom Derby. Yo'ster Isle is also a well known tourist destination in Mario's world,[3] and two Mushroom People from Mushroom Kingdom, Raz and Raini, spend their honeymoon there.
Yo'ster Isle is an optional area connected to the mainland by a Warp Pipe to the Pipe Vault, though it can be bypassed by moving on to Moleville. The island has a lot of trees and other vegetation. Its shelters feature roofs made of leaves and are held up by wooden poles. The Yoshi character is the only member of his species with the ability to communicate to Mario and translates on behalf of Mario when talking to the other Yoshis. Boshi becomes the self-proclaimed boss of Yo'ster Isle ever since winning the Mushroom Derby, but his reign ends when Mario and Yoshi defeat him in another ace.
There is a Yoshi named Baby Fat, who grows in a small nest over the course of the game. If he is fed enough Cookies, Mario is eventually rewarded with a few rare items, including Red Essence.
In the remake only, a map to Yo’ster Isle appears in Johnny's quarters, hanging above to the door to a warp trampoline, suggesting that it was originally a destination of the Sunken Ship.
