- “Mario!!! Is that really you???”
- —Yoshi, Super Mario 64
Yoshi (sometimes specified as Green Yoshi) is one of the heroes of Mushroom World and an ally of Mario. He is a member of the Yoshi race and has aided his brethren in saving their homeland on multiple occasions. Yoshi has also saved other kingdoms from the villain Bowser as well. In his youth, Yoshi managed to rescue and protect Baby Mario and Baby Luigi from the wrath of Kamek and the Koopa Troop. According to Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Yoshi is the only one of his species who can speak the human language. However, in later games, he doesn't speak the human language (as shown in Mario Superstar Baseball and Mario Super Sluggers). Yoshi made his very first appearance in the Super Mario World level, Yoshi's Island 2.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario World
Yoshi truly debuted during the events of Super Mario World, when Bowser launched his biggest assault yet against Dinosaur Land. To eliminate the threat of Yoshi, Bowser magically encased the green dinosaur and his friends in Yoshi Eggs. Many of these eggs were given to Bowser's own children, the Koopalings, to be watched over. Fortunately, for some reason, Yoshi's egg escaped the confines of one of the Koopalings' castles. Instead, Yoshi's egg prison wound up in the open field of Yoshi's Island.
Eventually, Yoshi was freed by none other than Mario and Luigi, now grown up and stronger than ever. Coincidentally, the Mario Bros., along with Princess Peach were vacationing in Dinosaur Land when King Koopas attack occurred. As Mario and Luigi were taking a nap on the beach, Bowser's forces kidnapped the princess on behalf of their master. The two plumbers searched for Peach for hours, eventually stumbling across Yoshi's egg and freeing their old friend. Once released, Yoshi told the Mario Bros. of Dinosaur Land's plight. Together, all three agreed to rescue the other imprisoned Yoshi's and save Princess Toadstool from the forces of Bowser. Yoshi even gave the Mario Bros. a Magic Cape to help them on their quest.
Yoshi proved to be an invaluable ally during this adventure, acting as a quick and powerful form of transportation for the heroic Mario Bros. The green dinosaur could use his long tongue to eat almost any type of enemy, including enemies even Mario and Luigi could not defeat on their own. If an enemy hit Yoshi, he would run away, leaving Mario or Luigi behind. However, the plumbers could simply jump back on their friend's saddle to calm the dinosaur down and continue the adventure. Unfortunately, Yoshi was unable to enter Ghost Houses (except the Sunken Ghost Ship), Fortresses, the castles of the Koopalings, and, ultimately, the castle of King Bowser. In these locations, the Mario Bros. had to go in alone, but Yoshi would patiently wait outside for the brothers to return.
Ultimately, the Mario Bros. manage to defeat the Koopalings and Bowser, thus rescuing the seven Yoshi Eggs and Princess Toadstool. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi returned to Yoshi's House to celebrate their victory over the Koopa Troop. During the celebrations that followed, the seven liberated Yoshi eggs hatched and became Yoshi Babies, thanks to the efforts of Mario and Luigi, with help from their friend Yoshi. Peace was restored to not only Yoshi's Island, but also the entire continent of Dinosaur Land.
Super Mario 64
In Super Mario 64, Yoshi played a supporting role. If Mario managed to acquire all one hundred twenty Power Stars, the plumber could use a cannon to shoot himself to the roof of Princess Peach's castle. Once there, Yoshi would reward Mario with one hundred extra lives and an improved Triple Jump. The fact that Yoshi was sleeping on the roof in Super Mario 64 DS is probably a reference to his original role in Super Mario 64. After that, he would jump off the roof and never be seen again in the whole game.
Super Mario Sunshine
Yoshi plays a major role in this game of being transportation for Mario as well as the key to several Shine Sprites. Yoshi normally appears in three different colors depending on what he eats: Orange, pink, and purple. To get Yoshi, Mario must first find a Yoshi Egg and give it the specific fruit it wants. Then Yoshi will hatch and Mario can ride him. Yoshi was also given the ability to spit different colored juice (the "Juice" ability replacing the function of F.L.U.D.D.) that affected enemies in different ways, also depending on what color he was. The orange juice could turn enemies into an orange hovering block that would disappear after a short amount of time. The purple and pink juices would make a similar block of the corresponding color but would move vertical or horizontal depending on the color. He can destroy the orange oozy liquid unlike how the F.L.U.D.D cannot do this.
If Yoshi falls into water or runs out of juice (which depletes as time goes on and as Yoshi sprays it), he will turn Green and vanish a few seconds later. In the few seconds before he vanishes, Yoshi can spit water instead of juice.
Super Mario 64 DS
Yoshi found himself to be the primary hero in Super Mario 64 DS. During this adventure, Princess Peach decided to invite Mario, Luigi and even Wario to her castle. Coincidentally, Yoshi was sleeping on the roof of the castle when the trio of heroes arrived.
Unfortunately, Bowser had arrived at the castle before Mario, Luigi, and Wario. The Koopa King and his forces had stolen the castle's Power Stars, the magical artifacts that protect Peach's Castle. With the power of these stars, Bowser planned to take over the castle. To do this, Bowser intended to convert the denizens of the worlds accessed via the paintings in Peach's Castle into monsters. With these newfound forces, Bowser was then going to attack the castle, and, potentially, the entire Mushroom Kingdom. With the Power Stars under his control, Bowser captured not only Peach and Toad, but Mario, Luigi, and Wario as well. As such, it was up to Yoshi to free his imprisoned allies and rescue the Princess from Bowser's clutches.
In fact, while Mario himself is required to open Star Doors and, ultimately, face the final confrontation with Bowser, rescuing Luigi and Wario was optional, as Yoshi could discover magical caps that would allow Yoshi to temporarily assume the form and abilities of the other three characters. He could also eat enemies and toss eggs to help him in his quest. Ultimately, with Mario's help (and that of Luigi and Wario, or without), Yoshi managed to help defeat Bowser and acquire the castle's Power Stars. With stability returned to the castle, Peach rewarded the four heroes by baking them all a cake.
Super Mario Galaxy
Yoshi himself does not appear in Super Mario Galaxy – however, there are three notable Yoshi references.
- When starting a file, the player is given the choice of what character head they want to resemble the "planet" that is their save file, and one of the heads is Yoshi's.
- In the Good Egg Galaxy, there is a planet that resembles a Yoshi egg.
- A wooden planet that is carved into the shape of Yoshi's head appears in the Space Junk Galaxy. The mission in which Mario retrieves a star on this planet is even titled "Yoshi's Unexpected Appearance."
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Although he never appeared in New Super Mario Bros., Yoshi reappears in the game's sequel, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Yoshi only appeared in World 1-3, World 2-5, World 3-2, World 4-5, World 6-4, and World 7-6, making him quite rare. Yoshi makes the same sound as he did in Super Mario World. Green Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, Light Blue Yoshi, and Pink Yoshi are the Yoshi colors that appear in this game.
When one player is riding a Yoshi, Yoshi drums are added to the music. Yoshi can flutter jump, such as in previous titles, and has his usual tongue ability. He can easily eat an normal enemy such as a Goomba or Piranha Plant. If Yoshi eats a shell enemy, Yoshi can't swallow it, so the player can spit the shell out. If Yoshi eats a Venus Fire Trap, he will be able to spit out a fireball, or he will spit out an ice ball if he eats an ice ball from an Ice Bro. Not only that, but Yoshi can also eat a hammer thrown by a Hammer Bro. and spit it right back. Yoshi can also jump on certain enemies that players wouldn't normally jump on, though it won't affect the enemies in any way. If Yoshi is struck by an enemy without swallowing or jumping on it, he will drop the player and run about until the player regains control of him. If not stopped, Yoshi may run off of a cliff and into a hole.
Berries can be found in the levels that Yoshi appears in, and if Yoshi eats 5 berries, he will lay an egg that holds an item. This happens also if Yoshi eats a Pokey while it is covered in leaves. At the end of a level, past the flagpole, Mario, Luigi, Yellow Toad, and/or Blue Toad will run off, and Yoshi will just wave goodbye.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Yoshi does appear in the game, Super Mario Galaxy 2. He can eat various fruit in order to change his color and gain power-ups like in Super Mario Sunshine. These abilities include the orange Dash Yoshi, running up walls when he eats a Dash Pepper, a light blue Blimp Yoshi, inflating like a balloon and floating towards virtually unreachable areas when a Blimp Fruit is ingested (similar to Mario's Power Flower ability from Super Mario 64 DS), and when he eats a Glimmer Bulb Berry, he turns into the yellow Bulb Yoshi.
Yoshi has been shown to have the ability to perform flutter jumps, but he lacks the ability to do triple jumps. He can also eat things by targeting them with the Wii Remote, and by pressing the B button, but for a price, players can't use Star Bits while on Yoshi. If the player wants to stop riding Yoshi, he/she must hold down Z and press A. On a side note, Yoshi can swim in this game, but he can't dive underwater.
Also, like in the past games, if Mario takes damage while on Yoshi, Yoshi will run off.
After collecting the first Power Star from the Yoshi Star Galaxy, a Yoshi Egg will appear on Starship Mario's nose. Like in Delfino Plaza from Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshi is playable in the hub.
Super Mario World television series
Yoshi was a regular character in the Super Mario World animated series. In the cartoon, Yoshi was depicted as being very young and childish. As such, he was afraid of many things, including ghosts and even water. Regardless, Yoshi regularly teamed up with Mario and Luigi to help save Princess Toadstool from the clutches of King Koopa. Of course, Yoshi used his long tongue to get the heroes out of many sticky situations. Yoshi appears having a large appetite which has the tendency to get him into trouble, such as in "Born to Ride" when he ate all the pipes that Mario and Luigi had laid out to build a sink system and they yelled at him for destroying their hard work. He referred to himself in third-person, saying things like "Yoshi scared", or "Yoshi think Luigi mama!". Yoshi called Luigi Mama Luigi because he found Yoshi as an egg.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Yoshi, like most of his kind, spent the early part of his life living on Yoshi's Island, the homeland of the Yoshis and the entrance to Dinosaur Land. The island was a relatively peaceful place filled with relaxed and laid-back Yoshis. However, this was all to change on the day the legendary Mario Bros. were born. A day that would not only change Yoshi's life, but the entire course of history.
One morning, during the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi decided to take a stroll through the jungles of Yoshi's Island. The day started out like any other day until a strange, white bundle and a map landed on his back. Inside the bundle, Yoshi discovered a small baby with a red cap called Baby Mario. Prior to this, Kamek, a powerful Magikoopa, had attempted to capture both Baby Mario and Baby Luigi as the Stork carried the babies to their mother and father in the Mushroom Kingdom. Kamek had divined that the two babies born that morning would bring ruin to the Koopas. As such, the powerful sorcerer knew he had to eliminate the babies before they matured. Regardless of his intent, Kamek's abduction attempt failed as he only snagged one of the babies. The other, Baby Mario, fell to the ground and wound up on Yoshi's back.
Yoshi decided to take Baby Mario back to his clan. The arrival of Baby Mario caused a state of panic to take hold in the normally stress-free Yoshi society. As the Yoshi's argued and yelled about what to do with the infant, Baby Mario pointed to the horizon. Eventually, Yoshi recognized that Baby Mario could detect where his brother was, as their brotherly bond was so strong, even at such a young age. Yoshi decided that the Yoshi clan should find Baby Mario's brother and help both of them find their parents. The other Yoshis agreed. Taking the initiative, Yoshi said they should use a relay system between eight Yoshis to transport Baby Mario. Each Yoshi would travel some distance, then hand Baby Mario to the next young dinosaur. Of course, Yoshi took the lead and set out in the direction Baby Mario was pointing. Yoshi helped Baby Mario through the preliminary level, then through World 1-1. Unfortunately, the task would not be easy, as Kamek's forces had invaded the island and were searching for Baby Mario.
To battle against the agents of Kamek, Yoshi used his amazing egg-making abilities to transform enemies and other objects into Yoshi Eggs. Yoshi used these eggs as projectile weapons against enemies, fending off the forces of Kamek. The green dinosaur also used a variety of Morph Bubbles to transform himself into various vehicles to better avoid or battle agents of the Koopa Troop. With these abilities, Yoshi managed to help Baby Mario through the dangers of the first level of each of the six worlds, allowing the green dinosaur to pass the infant to Pink Yoshi after each completed level.
Besides bringing Baby Mario through the first level of each world, Yoshi also braved the dangers and traps of all the secret worlds discovered along the way. In fact, as a testament to his commitment and courage, Yoshi even braved the final challenge that awaited the Yoshis. After fighting through six worlds, the Yoshis finally reached Bowser's Castle, the site of an imprisoned Baby Luigi. Taking Blue Yoshi's place, Yoshi fought past powerful enemies and avoided the traps of the dangerous Koopa fortress. Yoshi even dodged a series of magical attacks by the sorcerer Kamek himself, allowing the green dinosaur to enter Baby Bowser's bedroom in search of Baby Luigi. In the bedroom, Yoshi confronted the young Koopa King and bested him in combat. Unfortunately, Kamek used his magic to transform the relatively small Baby Bowser into a gigantic, hulking monstrosity. Fortunately, Yoshi managed to fight off the giant menace, causing both Kamek and Baby Bowser to retreat. Ultimately, in the rubble of the castle, Yoshi discovered Baby Luigi and the Stork originally charged with delivering the babies. After untying the Stork, Yoshi said his goodbyes to the babies and allowed to bird to continue on his journey. In the end, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi returned home safe.
Yoshi's Story
Of course, Baby Bowser was not happy with such a loss. As such, the young Koopa king initiated an act of revenge during the events of Yoshi's Story. Baby Bowser and his forces returned to Yoshi's Island and stole the Super Happy Tree, the source of the island's happiness. The young Koopa then cast a spell on the island, transforming the vacation paradise into a storybook. Lastly, the Yoshi denizens were cursed. This last spell incapacitated the Yoshis, making them unable to do anything to stop Baby Bowser's attack.
Fortunately, Baby Bowser's spell did not affect every Yoshi. Six baby Yoshis were still in their eggs when the spell was cast, allowing them to avoid the curse. When they hatched, the six newborns sensed that the island was in disarray. Taking the lead, a new Green Yoshi decided the babies must find the Super Happy Tree to refill the island with happiness. The five other baby Yoshis agreed and together they set out to find the tree and restore peace to the island.
The Yoshis traveled across the island, eating fruits to boost their own happiness levels. Green Yoshi personally enjoyed watermelons the most. As their collective happiness increased, more and more worlds became available to the Yoshis. Eventually, Green Yoshi and his companions reached Baby Bowser's Castle. Together they confronted the young king, and ultimately defeated Baby Bowser in combat. The Yoshis reclaimed the Super Happy Tree and restored the island to its natural, peaceful, and joyful state.
Yoshi's Universal Gravitation
During the events of Yoshi's Universal Gravitation (also known as Yoshi Topsy-Turvy), the Koopa King and his forces attacked Yoshi's Island, causing chaos and disorder. In a twist of fate, a spirit named Hongo encased the entire island in a storybook to contain Bowser and his armies (Bowser did the exact same thing to Yoshi's Island as a baby; however, he did so as revenge against the Yoshi clan.). Fortunately, Yoshi managed to convince the powerful spirit to restore Yoshi's Island if the green dinosaur could personally trap Bowser. If the threat of Bowser was contained, there would be no need to keep the island as an isolated storybook. As such, Yoshi set off through the chapters of the storybook version on Yoshi's Island.
During this adventure, Yoshi acquired a unique and powerful ability. Not only could Yoshi use his long tongue to defeat enemies, the green dinosaur could also manipulate gravity. As Yoshi changed the force of gravity, the green dinosaur could cause enemies to fall backwards, or even transform walls into hills. This unique ability helped Yoshi complete the various daunting stages before him.
However, Yoshi could not merely walk through a course to complete it. Each course was controlled by a different spirit, and each demanded that the green dinosaur fulfill a specific task before he or she would allow Yoshi to move on. These tasks included destroying a certain number of enemies or acquiring a certain number of coins. Ultimately, after satisfying the task of every spirit, Yoshi was allowed to confront King Bowser. Of course, the green dinosaur emerged victorious in the end, and Bowser was once again defeated. With the threat of Bowser eliminated, the spirit Hongo released Yoshi's Island, restoring it to its natural state. Yet again, Yoshi had saved his homeland from a terrible fate.
Yoshi Touch & Go
Yoshi makes its first appearance on the DS in Yoshi Touch & Go! In the start of each mode, players will have to safely help Baby Mario glide down to the forest. He/She will use clouds with the stylus to block enemies or move him over to safety and/or coins, or make circles around spike-less enemies to make a coin bubble, and adds coins to Baby Mario. If hit three times, the player is done! The more coins the player collects, the different color Yoshi Baby Mario will travel with when he lands.
In the second part, as Yoshi, players can shoot eggs if they have any. The different colored Yoshi, the different amount of eggs. For example, Green Yoshi has up to 20 eggs, while Brown Yoshi has up to 40 eggs. Players can also eat spike-less enemies which will give him/her coins. If players run out or low on eggs, then he/she must eat fruit to gain more eggs. When he/she collects 100 coins, a Invincible Star will appear, and when Yoshi and Baby Mario touch it, Baby Mario will turn into Super Baby Mario, with Yoshi in a giant egg. Invincible, players will be able to run very fast, shoot many eggs, and even destroy enemies in one touch. After a few seconds, this will end and the player will return back to normal.
If players get hit by an enemy or its attack, the game ends. In most modes, players race to get the most coins, time, or to save Baby Luigi from the Toadies. In marathon, players race to see how far they can go. After every 1000 yards, players will change different color Yoshis. If Baby Mario is defeated, the player will start all over. If the player loses a life as Yoshi, he/she can choose to start over or start at the beginning of Baby Mario and Yoshi.
Yoshi's Island DS
Kamek and Bowser suddenly interrupted the peace of the Mushroom Kingdom by stealing all of the babies they could find, hoping to get all of the Star Children in Yoshi's Island DS (the Star Children were Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Wario, Baby Bowser, and Baby Yoshi; all but the last of these seven were captured by Bowser's forces). These seven children had special energy in their bodies that, if in his possession, would allow Bowser to take over the world. Toadies had kidnapped babies from across the Mushroom World, in hopes of finding the seven Star Children.
Eventually, the Star Children that were kidnapped all escaped one way or another. The Stork saw the Toadies carrying the babies away, and he managed to crash into some of them, freeing Baby Mario and Baby Peach. Baby Donkey Kong's escape was not specifically mentioned, but he eventually fell from the sky and helped Yoshi (presumably a Toady had unintentionally dropped him, as an unseen baby was carried off in Baby DK's cloth). Baby Wario caused the Toadies to forcibly abandon him when he had an outrageous tantrum. Baby Bowser got into an argument with his future self, to the point where Bowser finally threw him out of the castle to Yoshi's feet. Baby Luigi was rescued last, at the end of the adventure.
Upon reaching Bowser's Castle, Baby Bowser found no reason to further accompany Yoshi, so he immediately abandoned the group. Yoshi refused to continue without him, however, and so Baby Bowser began battling him. Yoshi quickly took the tyrannical toddler out, only for an enraged Bowser to emerge and engage in battle with Yoshi right after the young Bowser's defeat. After Yoshi managed to defeat the future Bowser, Kamek finally cut in and enlarged Bowser to an enormous size. Four Yoshis teamed up to defeat the gigantic carnation of Bowser, and he was finally defeated for good.
After the defeat of both versions of Bowser, Kamek, and the Toadies quickly fled from the destroyed castle. The Yoshis rescued Baby Luigi, as well as the other kidnapped babies. But soon, the Yoshis realize that they only had six babies, when there were seven Star Children.
A Baby Yoshi (who is shown hatching at the end of the game credits) is then revealed to be the final Star Child. It is likely that this Yoshi is the Mario series Yoshi. But, because it is thought that the Green Yoshi in this game is also "the" Yoshi, the Baby Yoshi may have been born before Yoshi's Island DS, and the birth was not shown until the game's ending.
Balloon Trip
While the stork was carrying Baby Mario and Baby Luigi to there parents Kamek zipped by and stole Baby Luigi and knocked Baby Mario out in to sky. While Baby Mario descended he found three balloons and slowly started to float down to the mushroom world. While floating he dodged tons of enemies an eventually landed on Yoshi's back.
Mario Kart series
Yoshi has been a competitor in the Mario Kart series since the very first Mario Kart game, Super Mario Kart. Yoshi typically is a lightweight driver (with the exception of Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart Wii), meaning he has high acceleration, but low top speed. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Yoshi was partners with Birdo, and his special item was the Yoshi Egg. While the relationship between Birdo and Yoshi was merely implied in English versions, the Japanese website of Mario Kart: Double Dash confirms it. On Birdo's profile, it says, "Yoshi no kanojyou ni mie te jitsuha kareshi?!" This means, "Appears to be Yoshi's girlfriend... or is that boyfriend?!"
In Mario Kart Wii, Yoshi was a medium-sized racer, and featured a good off-road bonus (though not as good as that of Toadette and Dry Bowser). He also had a small weight and drift boost.
Super Mario Bros. film
Yoshi's only film appearance was in the Super Mario Bros. movie. In this depiction, Yoshi resembled an actual dinosaur, although this Yoshi had brown skin (instead of green). Yoshi acted more like a pet than as a heroic partner in the film. However, Yoshi still possessed some of his trademark traits from the games, including a long sticky tongue, courageousness, and friendliness. In the movie, Yoshi was downsized from his video game version, making him impossible to ride (in fact, Mario would probably crush Yoshi if he attempted to jump on top of him). Yoshi forms a friendly bond with Princess Daisy. Yoshi is as Bowser's pet in this movie. Nobody is nice to him. Bowser keeps him chained up and kicks him calling him a "throwback". Lena (Bowser's girlfriend) stabs Yoshi when he tried to stop her from killing Daisy. At the end of the movie when Koopa is defeated, Yoshi becomes Daisy's pet.
Yoshi's Safari
During the events of Yoshi's Safari, Princess Peach personally requested Yoshi's (as well as Mario's) aid in liberating yet another land, the peaceful kingdom of Jewellery Land. Bowser had recently conquered the nation of the twelve magical jewels. These national gems protected the kingdom from disaster and were the source of Jewellery Land's order and stability. However, Bowser and his Koopalings had stolen the magical jewels, and kidnapped King Fret and Prince Pine, Jewellery Land's royal family. As a result, a great earthquake broke the land apart into two distinct realms: the Dark Realm and the Light Realm.
Princess Peach was an old friend of Jewellery Land's Prince Pine, and when she heard of her friend's plight, she immediately sent for Mario and Yoshi. She entrusted the salvation of the fallen kingdom to these two heroes, but they were not going in alone. To aid the two, Peach gave Mario a new weapon, the energy gun known as the Super Scope. With this new weapon in hand, Mario and Yoshi entered a Warp Pipe, sending them to the regions of Jewellery Land.
During their adventures in Jewellery Land, Mario rode on Yoshi's saddle armed with the Super Scope. As Yoshi navigated the terrain of Jewellery Land, it was Mario's responsibility to shoot down any enemies in Yoshi's way. Occasionally, Mario would shoot Yoshi in the back of the head, injuring the green dinosaur. Whether this "friendly fire" was accidental or intentional has yet to be confirmed. Regardless, in the end Mario and Yoshi made a great team. Even though Bowser and his Koopalings came into the possession of some advanced weaponry, Yoshi and Mario managed to defeat the royal Koopa family. After the Koopalings and Bowser surrendered, the two heroes rescued Prince Pine and King Fret and recovered all twelve magical gems. In the end, Prince Pine reunited the two divided realms of Jewellery Land using the power of the magical jewels. The royal family of Jewellery Land thanked Mario and Yoshi for their help, and yet another kingdom was saved by the heroic efforts of Mario and Yoshi.
Mario Tennis series
Yoshi is typically an agile sports player, allowing him to make quick manoeuvres (this was especially prevalent in the Mario Tennis competitions). Yoshi appeared in the game Mario's Tennis as well as its succesor Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64). In Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64), Yoshi appeared as a speed character and had three different courses: the Baby Mario and Yoshi Court which has the fastest ball speed but a Weak bounce, the Birdo and Yoshi Court which has a slow ball speed with a strong bounce, and the Yoshi Court which has a fast ball speed with a strong bounce. In Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color) Yoshi was unlockable through a transfer pack with the N64 version. Yoshi also has a mini game called Yoshi Fruit Factory. In Mario Power Tennis Yoshi's skill type was speedy, his Offensive power shot was Rainbow Flutter, and his Defensive power shot was Rolling Egg Return. Yoshi's Mario Power Tennis trophy animation begins with him entering the stage, where Luigi is about to present him his trophy. He then begins to feel hungry and his stomach growls. Mistaking the trophy for a pineapple, he leashes out with his tongue to eat the trophy, accidentally swallowing Luigi in the process. Yoshi can then be seen wondering about Luigi's sudden disappearance.
Donkey Kong Country series
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Yoshi was one of the many heroes who took on Cranky Kong's video game hero challenge in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. He placed in the top three (along with Mario and Link). If Diddy Kong gathered more DK Coins than Yoshi or Mario, the young monkey would steal second place from the dinosaur, moving Yoshi down to third, and knocking Link out of the top rankings.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Yoshi would meet up with Mario again during events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. In this adventure, Yoshi had traveled to Yo'ster Isle, a Yoshi-populated island that can be accessed from the mainland via the Pipe Vault, to participate in the various races held there. This racing competition was known as the Mushroom Derby. Unfortunately, the last winner of the Mushroom Derby was an arrogant Yoshi named Boshi. After winning the race, Boshi declared himself the boss of Yo'ster Isle. He suspended the races, allowing only one-on-one races between himself and a lesser competitor (and only when Yoshi Cookies were on the line). No one was able to beat Boshi, until Mario showed up to lend a hand.
Upon the plumber's arrival, Yoshi and Mario teamed up once again, this time to defeat Boshi and end his reign over the small isle. The plan called for Yoshi (with Mario riding on his saddle) to challenge Boshi to a race and beat him, thus usurping his authority as boss of Yo'ster Isle. To do this, the green dinosaur asked a friend of his to loan him a few Yoshi Cookies (one of Boshi's weaknesses). As such, Yoshi put his cookies on the line, and challenged the arrogant Yoshi champion to a race.
To win the competition, Yoshi had to race to the beat of the Mushroom Derby's music. As such, the player had to alternate between pressing the A and B buttons in sync with the music's tempo. If the player alternates too fast, Yoshi would stop moving. While the tempo of the derby music could stop or even change, the player had to press the A and B buttons to the original beat. Mario could also help in the race by tossing Yoshi a Yoshi Cookie to give the dinosaur a boost of speed.
After a difficult and grueling race, Mario and Yoshi inevitably crossed the finish line before Boshi. With Boshi defeated, the Yoshis declared Yoshi their new boss. However, Yoshi declined the offer to become the new boss. As humble as ever, Yoshi instead suggested that the races should be owned by everyone. No one was to have control over the races; everyone who wanted to participate could. The green dinosaur even managed to reform the former champion Boshi, convincing the blue Yoshi that an egalitarian approach to racing was superior to a totalitarian one.
As thanks for the plumber's help, Yoshi gave Mario a few Yoshi Cookies. Whenever Mario needed aid in battle, the red-clad hero could use one of these cookies to summon Yoshi to the battlefield. Yoshi would then attempt to eat an enemy and convert it into an item for Mario to use. If Yoshi failed, he would give the plumber a Yoshi Candy, an item that can heal a whopping one hundred HP.
Mario could also return to the island later in his adventure to catch up with his old friend. During these visits, Mario watched and even participated in subsequent Mushroom Derbies. The plumber could either jump back on Yoshi's saddle (and aid the green dinosaur with Yoshi Cookies) or simply encourage Yoshi from the sidelines as the Mushroom Derby championed raced on his own.
Yoshi is depicted in this game as bilingual, for he is able to both speak the Yoshi language and Mario's language. During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Yoshi acted as Mario's interpreter as the Yoshis on Yo'ster Isle only spoke the Yoshi language.
Mario Party series
Yoshi has appeared playable in every single Mario Party that was released. In Mario Party, he had his own board called Yoshi's Tropical Island. In Mario Party 2 and 3, Yoshi's favorite item was a warp block. If Yoshi was set on as a computer, he would be more than likely to buy a warp block over any other item. In Mario Party 4, Yoshi's favorite thing was the Warp Space, which does something similar to the Warp Block. Also in Mario Party 3, Yoshi's star stamp was Kindness. In Mario Party 3, Yoshi's partner was Boo. In Mario Party 5 and 6, Yoshi was partners with Toad. In Mario Party 7 and 8, Yoshi was partners was Birdo. Yoshi's Special Orb in Mario Party 7 was the Egg Orb.
Super Smash Bros. series
Template:SSB Infobox Yoshi is a playable character in all three Super Smash Bros. games. Yoshi is a fast and heavy fighter with strong smash attacks and amazing jumping ability. Unlike other fighters, Yoshi's shield is not an energy bubble but a green-spotted Yoshi Egg. Although Yoshi lacks a true special jump in the first two games in the series, he makes up for this handicap with an extremely long flutter jump. This pays off for his very short triple jump. This second jump can help Yoshi reach platforms that would take some fighters three jumps to reach. When using the flutter jump, Yoshi can also resist being knocked away. Unfortunately, Yoshi's extended grab attack (which is not too different from his Egg Lay move) cannot grab onto edges (unlike Link's Hookshot technique). Most of Yoshi's Special Moves revolve around various uses of Yoshi Eggs.
Although Yoshi is part of the Mario series as a whole, his emblem is a Yoshi Egg, which represents the Yoshi series.
Yoshi maintains his cartoonish voice in the Super Smash Bros. series, unlike Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Bowser, which were given more realistic animal voices.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Solid Snake Codec Conversation
- Snake: Otacon! What's this lizard thing?
- Otacon: That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for its long, chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swallowed whole.
- Snake: It lays eggs and throws them, right? ...Then it must be female.
- Otacon: ...Actually, it's a "he." At least, that's what it says.
- Snake: It talks!?
- Otacon: Yes! It talks! Well, kind of...
- Snake: Now you've got me curious. ...How about I capture one so we can see what they taste like?
- Otacon: Uhh, Snake...
The Subspace Emissary
Yoshi is sleeping on a tree stump in a forest. Link walks by him, without seeing him. Soon, the Halberd attacks the peaceful area sending Primids out to attack Link and Yoshi. Yoshi slowly wakes up and walks up to Link, who takes his Master Sword out ready to fight. Yoshi decides to join Link's team, and the two advance through the forest following the Halberd. Standing on the edge of a cliff, the two see the Halberd in the sky flying away. Link and Yoshi continue their quest following the Halberd.
If Peach is rescued from Petey Piranha: After reaching a grassland, Link and Yoshi see False Peach about to shoot a Dark Cannon at Mario and Pit, but before she could Link cuts the cannon in half and start to fight, after they win Mario stops to see Yoshi and Link standing over a dissolving trophy. Mario gets mad at Link, thinking that he is a member of the Subspace and that he defeated Peach. He runs to Link and Yoshi very fast and tries to hit Link. Mario and Pit then attack Link and Yoshi.
If Zelda is rescued from Petey Piranha: Link stops to see Mario and Pit standing over a dissolving trophy of False Zelda. Link gets mad at Mario, thinking that he is a member of the Subspace and that he defeated Zelda. He runs to Mario very fast and tries to hit Mario. Yoshi then joins Link in fighting Mario and Pit.
Soon, the four understand each other and the four become a team. They see King Dedede, who had taken Luigi, Ness, and the other princess. He attempts to take Mario and Pit/Link and Yoshi as well, until Kirby comes and rescues them. Either Link or Pit blows out the engine of the Cargo depending on which fake princess was intinially fought (if Peach, it is Pit; if Zelda, it is Link). Along with Kirby, they follow Dedede to his castle, only to find that Bowser had taken the princess and got away.
Eventually, they reach a desert where the Ancient Minister is carrying a Subspace Bomb. Pit fires an arrow at the Ancient Minister, trying to stop him from placing the bomb. However, the Ancient Minister places the bomb and his R.O.B.s install it. Although Mario and Pit try to stop them, the bomb is about to blow up. Ancient Minister leaves the area and the bomb explodes. Mario hops on Yoshi, while everyone else hops on Kirby's Warp Star and they all leave the area before the explosion of the Subspace Bomb reaches them.
After a battle at the Canyon, Yoshi and his teammates meet up with the other heroes and enter Subspace, only to to have Tabuu turn everyone into trophies. Yoshi was rescued by Kirby, who had been revived by one of Dedede's badges that he had eaten. Yoshi then joins everyone and eventually defeats Tabuu. Template:Endspoiler
Special Moves
Egg Lay
Egg Lay is a move that Yoshi is able to perform in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros Brawl. The player has to simply press the B Button to activate the move. Yoshi will go on to stick his tongue forward, and will eat anyone he hits. He will then lay an egg containing the player he just ate, causing him to become immobile. Yoshi can then proceed to attack the trapped player, while he can't retaliate. The player will hatch out of the egg eventually. It can also be used to run away from the opponent, in order to regroup.
This is also the way Yoshi does his grab attempts. However, instead of swallowing the opponent, he'll spit him/her out.
The attack is based on Yoshi's ability in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, where he is able to eat an enemy and turn it into an egg.
Egg Roll
Egg Roll was a move used by Yoshi in the game Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Yoshi used it when the player pressed Side+B. The move allowed Yoshi to roll around the stage in an egg and is able to turn around while in this form. When rolling, Yoshi could knock into players, causing damage. It is very similar to Jigglypuff's Rollout move. However, Egg Roll has better control. Despite this, Yoshi can still roll off the edge easily, if he's not careful. The attack is a very good run away move, and is also good at attacking multiple enemies at once. Holding down B during the move will increase the power, but makes it harder to control. It was actually the first time Yoshi could roll in an egg, and was carried on into later games, like Mario Power Tennis. However, it may or may not be a reference to Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, when Baby Mario obtains a Star, which is likely the first time.
Egg Throw
Egg Throw is also an attack that Yoshi can perform in the Super Smash Bros. Series. It is done by Pressing B and tilting the Control Stick up. Once done, Yoshi will proceed to hold the egg, aim it, and throw it, just like in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. However, In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Yoshi cannot aim it as well as he did in Yoshi's Island. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he has a much wider range of fire. Also, in the Smash Bros. Series, unlike the Yoshi's Island series, the eggs will form an arc and starting falling, rather than keep on going in a constant direction. The distance of the egg can be influenced by tilting the Control Stick in a direction after initiating the attack, along with how long the player holds the special attack button. He cannot jump high, which is its disadvantage.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl (but not Super Smash Bros. or Super Smash Bros. Melee), Egg Throw somewhat acts as Yoshi's third jump, because he rises a little as he does the move.
Yoshi Bomb
Yoshi Bomb (originally known as Ground Pound) is a move that Yoshi can use in all three Super Smash Bros. games. It is done by pressing down on the Control Stick, then pressing the B Button. Although, basically a Ground Pound, once Yoshi lands, two stars appear at his side, hurting anyone who hopes to attack him while he's getting up. The attack is best used while Flutter Jumping over an opponent, to land a powerful hit. The attack can be easy to dodge, however, and can leave Yoshi open for a long-distance attack. A new feature has been added to this move in Brawl. When used on the ground, Yoshi hits anyone who is right in front of him upon leaping in the air, stunning them, allowing Yoshi to get an easier hit with the actual attack. A similar attack is the Bowser Bomb.
Super Dragon
Super Dragon is Yoshi's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The move reflects Yoshi's sporadic, yet powerful fighting skills on the battlefield and greatly improves his ability to recover from a fall. Rather than a single, powerful attack, Super Dragon temporarily transforms Yoshi into Winged Yoshi and gives him the ability to breathe fire. However, Yoshi must first break open a Smash Ball in order to charge himself up for the attack. Once this happens, Yoshi can activate the attack at any time. He can even save himself from an otherwise deadly fall.
While the attack has not specifically appeared in any other game, by eating Red or Blue Koopa Shells in Super Mario World, Yoshi could breathe fire or fly respectively. However, only one of these moves could be used at a time. By using a flashing shell, he could become Super Dragon, but he hasn't much aerial mobility like when he uses his Final Smash, and could only breathe out one set of three Fireballs, causing the transformation to end. However, in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi could spew multiple short streams of fire after eating a Red Watermelon. This ability is closer to that seen in the Super Dragon ability.
Yoshi can shoot fireballs if the player presses the standard attack button; however, he will also spew a stream of fire if the player doesn't press any buttons for about three seconds. Both attacks do heavy damage. Yoshi will also cause damage if he simply makes contact with an opponent.
Oddly enough, Yoshi's Final Smash trophy has him without a saddle.
Mario Golf series
In Mario Golf, Yoshi had a straight golf shot that achieved average heights. In Mario Golf (Nintendo 64), Yoshi's Drive was 230 yards and his shot was straight. Yoshi also appears in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour and Mario Golf: Advance Tour.
Paper Mario series
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
- Main article: Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)
Yoshi plays a major role in this game as the fourth recruitable character, but as a child. The Yoshi Kid is recruited at Glitzville, when King K. messages you, saying that Mr. Hoggle, the Hot Dog salesman, has a new food for sale, called the Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness, which requires a southern Yoshi Egg. While the pig is using the egg, he loses control of it and it bounces all around. He chases after it, and of course you catch it. Hoggle says that you can keep it since "people don't like eating things that move". For a while, it follows you. Then, after the match with the Armored Harriers, the Yoshi will have hatched from his egg. After naming him, he'll always recognize Mario as the Great Gonzales, Mario's stage name in the Glitz Pit. He travels with you for the rest of the game. After you've beaten the final boss, Yoshi joins the Glitz Pit under the title Great Gonzales Jr.
Mario Baseball series
In Mario Superstar Baseball, Yoshi could not only run at high speeds but could also use his long tongue to field baseballs. Yoshi is a Speed captain, his item is a Yoshi egg, his special ball is egg ball, and his course is Yoshi Park. In Super Mario Sluggers, Yoshi's course is once again Yoshi Park and the park's minigame is Piranha Panic. On the map Yoshi can use Manholes and Ground Pound the ground by trees to make characters come out.
Mario Football series
Yoshi appeared as a balanced and courageous captain in Mario Smash Football, and again in the sequel, Mario Strikers Charged Football. In Mario Smash Football, Yoshi's Team number is 8, his captain type is balanced, and his Super Strike is Foot of Fury.
In Mario Strikers Charged Football, his Team number is once again 8, his captain type is balanced, his Mega Strike is Winged Yoshi, his super ability is egg roll, and his theme is Energetic Broadway.
Mario & Luigi series
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, a strange pink and green egg mysteriously appeared on the island. This egg was much larger than any Yoshi egg, and soon the mysterious object became a tourist destination. Unfortunately, the strange egg eventually hatched, and a gigantic Yoshi-like creature emerged. This creature was Yoob, a monster sent by the extraterrestrial invaders known as the Shroobs to cause havoc on the island. In fact, Yoob was programmed to eat any Yoshi it could find. Inside the hulking monster was a Yoob-making factory - Yoshis that were eaten would be transported to this factory then encased in pink and green eggs. Eventually, these eggs would transform the peaceful Yoshis into monstrous Yoobs, who would cause even more destruction when hatched.
Fortunately, Yoshi, apparently the same Green Yoshi that saved Baby Mario, organized his fellow Yoshis and helped them escape the wrath of Yoob. While in hiding, Yoshi encountered some old friends. Baby Mario and Baby Luigi had returned to Yoshi's Island to help eliminate the Shroob threat. However, none other than their future selves, the adult Mario and Luigi, accompanied the two babies. The two adults had traveled from the future to the past to save Princess Peach, who had been transported to the Mushroom Kingdom of the past via a Time Machine. Unfortunately, this reunion was cut short, as Yoob managed to discover the secret hideout. The Yoshis attempted to flee, but Yoob swallowed them, one by one. Yoshi, in an act of courage, attempted to battle Yoob by himself. However, Yoob proved to be too powerful and the giant monster simply ate Yoshi with its long tongue.
Yoshi eventually ended up in Yoob's belly, the location of the Yoob-making factory. The green dinosaur knew he had to find some way out. Looking around, he discovered a Chomp Rock sitting in the monster's stomach. Yoshi concluded that if he could push the massive rock through Yoob's intestines, he could widen the internal organs and thus allow the captured Yoshis to escape. Unfortunately, Yoshi was not strong enough to push the Chomp Rock by himself. Fortunately, the four Mario Bros. of past and present arrived to lend a hand. The brothers rescued the other Yoshis that were either imprisoned or being tortured by RC Shroobers, allowing them to lend Yoshi a hand. With their combined power, the Yoshis managed to force the Chomp Rock through Yoob's intestines, opening the way to the exit. Yoshi heroically led his fellow Yoshis through the dark intestines, and even rescued a few more imprisoned Yoshis along the way. Eventually, after the four Mario brothers defeated the guardian of the factory, Sunnycide, Yoshi and his companions exited through Yoob's digestive tract and returned to Yoshi's Island. With the factory ruined and the Yoshis freed, Yoob deactivated and became dormant. Yoshi's efforts, with some help from the Mario brothers of past and present, had saved the island and, ultimately, the entire world from destruction by an army of Yoobs.
Mario & Sonic series
Yoshi appears as a speed character in the game, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games. Later he appeared in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, classified as a speed character as well.
Cameos
The Legend of Zelda series
Yoshi seems to be very popular in the far away land of Hyrule. A Yoshi Doll could be found in Mabe Village on Koholint Island during the events of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. Additionally, a portrait of Yoshi could be found hanging on a wall in Hyrule Castle (and could be seen from the castle's courtyard) during the events of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
In the game, a figurine of Yoshi can be spotted on Otacon's desk. Shooting it causes a sound clip of Yoshi saying "YOSHI!" to play.
Characteristics
Physical Description and Traits
Yoshi, like all other Yoshi's, has a large nose region, a row of red spines along his head, a saddle on his back, which is used by Mario and the gang when being rode on,but later in Mario & Sonic At the Olympic Winter Games it is said that it is a shell. And a long sticky tongue. The green dinosaur typically wears orange shoes in recent games, but he originally wore brown shoes and also red shoes in a few appearances. Although Yoshi normally has green skin, he has been known to change his colour. For example, in Super Mario World, Yoshi could become blue in colour after collecting a pair of Yoshi's Wings (he would stay green in the GBA remake). In fact, Yoshi would become a literal Blue Yoshi, providing Yoshi with the same strengths and weaknesses as a Blue Yoshi. Yoshi would not return to his original color unless he ran off and became re-encased in a Yoshi Egg.
Powers and Abilities
Like other Yoshi's, Yoshi has a long, sticky tongue that he uses to eat almost anything, even things much larger than himself. Yoshi can transform the enemies and other objects he eats into eggs, which he can then use as projectile weapons. The green dinosaur has pinpoint accuracy, allowing him to conserve his egg supply during heated battles. During the events of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi could keep up to six eggs at a time.
Interestingly, Yoshi can also transform things that he eats into other objects. For example, in Super Mario World, after Yoshi ate an enemy, one Coin would be added to Mario's coin total. The green dinosaur could also transform berries into eggs. However, instead of using them as projectiles, these eggs would break apart and reveal items, including Super Mushrooms and strange, smiling clouds that would drop coins. In Super Mario RPG, Yoshi could eat enemies to produce eggs that would break apart to reveal a variety of helpful (and often rare) items.
Yoshi has a hard time swallowing Koopa shells. In fact, in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, the green dinosaur simply had to spit out the Koopa shell before he could eat another enemy. In Super Mario World, Yoshi could eventually swallow a Koopa shell, but could also use Koopa shells to boost his own abilities. While Yoshi could only spit out a green shell, if Yoshi spit out a red shell, the green dinosaur would instead shoot three large fireballs. A yellow shell would allow Yoshi to create sand clouds whenever he jumped and hit the ground, destroying nearby enemies. A blue shell provided one of the two ways to turn Yoshi into his Winged Yoshi form, allowing him to fly for a limited amount of time. However, if a shell were left in Yoshi's mouth for too long, he would inevitably swallow the shell and as such lose any abilities he may have possessed.
Yoshi is very proficient with Jump and Ground Pound, abilities, rivalling the capabilities of world-renown jumper Mario. However, in Super Mario World, Yoshi's jump attacks were much more powerful than Mario's normal jump attacks. Yoshi could destroy most enemies in one hit (i.e. a Koopa would be completely destroyed, not sent flying out of its shell). As such, Yoshi's jump had the same power as Mario's special Spin Jump technique. The green dinosaur is also a master of the Flutter Jump technique, allowing him to jump with incredible horizontal distance.
Yoshi is a speed character in several sports games, such as the Mario Tennis series, which shows that he is a fast runner. However, he isn't particularly fast in every game, such as Super Mario 64 DS where his speed is the same as Mario's (according to the instruction booklet).
Alternate Forms
Throughout his adventures, Yoshi has acquired a variety of alternate forms to help him combat the forces of evil. Most of these transformations are a result of special Morph Bubbles that could transform Yoshi into a helpful vehicle. Several cancelled alternate forms have been found in the coding of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Their purpose is unknown, but one can assume the plane has a similar function to the helicopter.

Personality
Yoshi is an extremely friendly individual who always lends a helping hand to those in need. He could be considered a hero and has helped his friends, defeated the evil King Bowser Koopa, and saved his island more than once. Once Yoshi takes on a task, he does not give up until he completes it. Yoshi never backs down at defending his homeland and friends. He is also very courageous, allowing the green dinosaur to stand and fight enemies much larger than himself, including Yoob, an enlarged Bowser, Nep-Enuts, Tap-Tap the Golden, and the gigantic Baby Bowser. As a result of this courage, Yoshi often takes on a leadership position to the Yoshi clan, although Yoshi has no official political status (unlike the Village Leader from Lavalava Island). In fact, when Yoshi was offered a leadership position during the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, the humble dinosaur declined the position. Like Mario, Yoshi has a large appetite. While Yoshi mostly eats fruits (mainly melons), he will eat almost anything including enemies (except peppers and certain inedible enemies). Yoshi also has bad chemistry with Magikoopa, likely due to he and Kamek's history. He is sometimes portrayed as the comic relief, though lesser so than Luigi.
Relationships with Other Characters
Mario
- Main article: Mario
Yoshi has been one of Mario's allies ever since the events of Super Mario World. Their connections have been explored further in Yoshi's Island, where Yoshi has helped the plumber in his diaper years.
Birdo
- Main article: Birdo
Yoshi and Birdo are often partners in many of the spin-off games, especially in the sports games. In the Mario Party 7, Yoshi and Birdo appear to be partners. In Mario Party 8, they also reappear as partners in this game. They were seen nuzzling each other on the title screen of Mario Tennis. Of course, their relationship has been quite unclear.
Bowser
- Main article: Baby Bowser
- Main article: Bowser
While Bowser has antagonized Mario many, many times, Bowser has been an enemy to the Yoshis since he was an infant, evidenced in Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story. But, in games like Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi befriended Baby Bowser for half a world, but the young Koopa turned traitorous in the end.
Development
Character Development
Yoshi did not appear until Super Mario World, which was released in 1990. However, Shigeru Miyamoto has stated in interviews that he wanted Mario to ride an animal companion after the completion of Super Mario Bros. Apparently, technical restrictions kept Mario from being able to ride an animal. Of course, with the development of the advanced Super Famicom in 1990, Yoshi could finally be brought to life. The character of Yoshi was specifically created by Shigefumi Hino, a graphics designer.
Yoshi likely originated from another Nintendo character, Tamagon. Tamagon was the star of the game Devil World, a game released in Japan for the Famicom in 1984 and later in Europe for the NES. Like Yoshi, Tamagon was a green lizard that hatched from an egg and could eat enemies with his large mouth. Interestingly, Tamagon makes the exact same noise when he hatches as Yoshi does in Super Mario World.
Appearance Development
Yoshi's appearance has changed dramatically throughout his video game history. In Super Mario World, Yoshi's first appearance, the green dinosaur was very much created in the image of an actual dinosaur. Yoshi had a long neck, small (almost useless), strangely orange arms, and a long back. This design changed in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. In this game, Yoshi was made shorter and stouter. Additionally, much longer human-like arms, complete with large hands to manipulate objects, replaced his short, tyrannosaurus-like arms. This design change was developed even more in Yoshi's Story. Instead of being hunched over, Yoshi stood up straight and swung his arms as he walked, much like a human. This design has stuck ever since. However, in the Super Smash Bros. series, Yoshi returned to the original hunched over, dinosaur-like design from Super Mario World (however, he appears to have his upright design in Brawl). In Yoshi's Island DS, the Yoshi's use their newer design when their saddle is empty, and they use their older design when a baby is riding them.
Portrayals
Yoshi was voiced by Andrew Sabiston in the Super Mario World cartoons (Interestingly, Sabiston would later provide the voice of Diddy Kong in the Donkey Kong Country cartoon series.).
In the video games, Yoshi has been voiced by Kazumi Totaka since Yoshi's Story (who also composed the musical score to the game).

Super Smash Bros. Profile
Yoshi is the friendly dinosaur of Yoshi's Island. He began as Mario's partner, but has since built his own identity, and now appears in many games. He uses his unique ability to turn whatever he swallows into an egg as his foremost attacks. Yoshi's come in a rainbow of colours and are said to have a high IQ from a very early age.
Super Smash Bros. Melee Trophies
| # | Name | Image | First Game/Move | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Yoshi (Classic) |
Super Mario World 08/91 |
Yoshi's are gentle, fleet-of-foot dinosaurs that make their home on idyllic Yoshi's Island. They come in a variety of colours and have evolved an interesting trait to help increase their numbers: they can transform anything they swallow into an egg. With adhesive tongues and bottomless bellies, Yoshi's have been known to eat anything. | |
| 14 | Yoshi [Smash] (Adventure) |
B: Egg Lay Smash B: Egg Roll |
To make up for his lack of powerful airborne attacks, Yoshi has a miraculous jumping ability and is resistant to damage while in the air. Yoshi can also swallow a foe and transform him or her into an egg: try doing this close to an edge! The speed and power of the Egg Roll increases if you hold down the B Button, but it'll be tougher to control. | |
| 15 | Yoshi [Smash] (All-Star) |
Up & B: Egg Throw Down & B: Yoshi Bomb |
Yoshi has no third jump, so the timing of his second jump is of vital importance. The angle and distance of his Egg Throw can be altered by how you tilt the Control Stick and how long you press the B Button. When Yoshi lands after doing his Yoshi Bomb, stars appear on either side of him, making it hard for enemies to deliver counterattacks. | |
| 292 | Mario and Yoshi | Super Mario World 8/91 |
Yoshi was first introduced in Super Mario World, and the sight of Mario riding the helpful character soon became an enduring image. Despite his Cape, Mario can't fly while astride Yoshi. The pair can make huge jumps and drift slowly back to earth, though. As a last resort, Mario could leap off Yoshi's back to safety. |
Super Smash Bros. Brawl Trophies
| # | Name | Image | Appearance(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 9 | Yoshi | SNES Yoshi's Safari N64 Yoshi's Story |
A creature that hails from Yoshi's Island. Yoshi's come in a variety of colours, and all possess gentle personalities. No matter what problems they face, they always look like they're having fun. Yoshi's use their long tongues to grab and swallow fruit and enemies. They can convert what they swallow into eggs, which they then lay. They also give Mario rides. | |
| 10 | Super Dragon | WII Super Smash Bros. Brawl | Yoshi with wings on his back that give him the power to fly freely across the sky. In this state, he can spew giant fireballs. He is more mobile and powerful, but the inertia makes movement quirky, so it takes some skill to master flight. Yoshi returns to a normal state after a set period of time has passed. |

Trivia
- In Super Mario 64, Yoshi will start his speech by saying, "Mario!!! It that really you???". It should be, "Mario!!! Is that really you???" (Unless they were trying to emulate Yoshi's broken English from the cartoon series). This "error" was fixed for the Virtual Console release.
- In-universe, Yoshi is said to be named after Yoshi's Island, on which he was first discovered.
- Yoshi appeared in Nintendo Monopoly, along with a large cast of Mario characters. Here, he took the role of Illinois Avenue, and cost $240.
