First, a tribe of [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] appeared in several games set in this time era. In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (the beginning of which was expanded upon in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''), this tribe carried [[Mario|Baby Mario]] across the island after discovering him and saved his brother, [[Luigi|Baby Luigi]], from [[Kamek]] and [[Bowser|Baby Bowser]]. They also rescued the [[stork]] that was supposed to deliver them. ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' later retconned that the Mario brothers were accidentally brought to the wrong parents. While the stork was in the process of correcting the mistake, Baby Luigi was dropped again, and Baby Mario ended up back in the custody of the Yoshis. The Yoshis went on another adventure to save Baby Luigi again and also to save Egg Island from Baby Bowser and his future self. |
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', the tribe ended up carrying not only Baby Mario and Luigi, but also [[Princess Peach|Baby Peach]], [[Donkey Kong|Baby Donkey Kong]], [[Wario|Baby Wario]] and even Baby Bowser in order to save Baby Luigi and various other infants from future versions of Bowser and Kamek. It turned out that they were searching for seven children containing magic stars, known as the star children, and the babies that the Yoshis carried in this game happened to be sixth of them. The seventh child was a green Yoshi that hatched during the game's credits. | In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', the tribe ended up carrying not only Baby Mario and Luigi, but also [[Princess Peach|Baby Peach]], [[Donkey Kong|Baby Donkey Kong]], [[Wario|Baby Wario]] and even Baby Bowser in order to save Baby Luigi and various other infants from future versions of Bowser and Kamek.

It is commonly believed that the green Yoshi from the tribe seen in ''Yoshi's Island'' is the Yoshi appearing in the modern day games, but this is uncertain. It is also very likely that the main Yoshi is the one born at the end of ''Yoshi's Island DS'', who is one of the seven children born with a star piece. The green Yoshi from ''Yoshi's Story'' is the last possibility, who could possibly be the same as the star child Yoshi. | It is commonly believed that the green Yoshi from the tribe seen in ''Yoshi's Island'' is the Yoshi appearing in the modern day games, but this is uncertain.

− | Yoshi's first appearance in the ''Mario'' universe was in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. However, both ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' were retconned to include Yoshi when they were rereleased as ''[[Super Mario Bros.

However, both ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' were retconned to include Yoshi when they were rereleased as ''[[Super Mario Bros. DX]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''. Yoshi Eggs were hidden in each level, and had to be hunted down before they would hatch into a Yoshi, although those may have been generic Yoshis. |
In ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi was shown as a resident of Yoshi's Island in [[Dinosaur Land]]. Bowser had stolen seven eggs containing baby Yoshis, and Yoshi's attempt to save them ended with him being trapped in an egg. According to the manual, Mario and Luigi found the egg and freed him, after which he agreed to help them and gave them the magic cape. In the game, either brother could find his egg in ? Blocks, the first of which was located at his home, after which he can be ridden. When damaged, he will run away and disappear if one of the brothers does not get back on him in time. | In ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi was shown as a resident of Yoshi's Island in [[Dinosaur Land]].

− | Yoshi was also featured in a pair of puzzle games, both of which were based on his appetite. In ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'', Yoshi assisted the Mario Bros. in cleaning up heaps of enemies by adding his eggs into the mix. After cramming enemies between the top and bottom shells, they turned into more Yoshis.

Yoshi went on another adventure with Mario in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', where he and Mario were sent to [[Jewelry Land]] by Princess Peach to save [[Prince Pine]] and [[King Fret]]. In this game, Mario used the Super Scope while riding on Yoshi to shoot down enemies, while Yoshi must safely lead Mario through the level and avoid being shot in the back of the head. He is also the lead character in ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', where his friends (based on various characters from Yoshi's Island) were hypnotized by Kamek, who was also flooding the world under Bowser's orders. But Yoshi was able to free his friends, and together they defeated Kamek and Bowser. | Yoshi went on another adventure with Mario in ''[[Yoshi's Safari]]'', where he and Mario were sent to [[Jewelry Land]] by Princess Peach to save [[Prince Pine]] and [[King Fret]].

Yoshi also appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in a supporting role. He was shown to have a house in the Sky Station Galaxy, but he had already left when Mario arrived. Mario was first reunited with him in the Yoshi Star Galaxy, where he had been overwhelmed by enemies and trapped in an egg. After being freed from his egg, Yoshi offered his services as a steed. Yoshi appeared in various other galaxies and gained temporary special abilities from eating unique fruits. Yoshi also teamed up with the adult Mario against a boss for the first time in the battle with [[Bowser Jr.]] in his Megahammer. At the end of the game, Yoshi returned to the Mushroom Kingdom with Mario and the others for the final festivities. In ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', Yoshi could be unlocked as a playable character by building Yoshi's House in Kingdom Builder, which was acquired by recruiting 30 Red and Yellow Toads through Toad Rally and spending 1000 coins. Yoshi was also temporarily playable in some individual courses of Remix 10 mode, regardless of whether or not he was officially unlocked at the time. | Yoshi also appeared in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' in a supporting role.

− | In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Yoshi visited Peach's Castle after the main story and was found on its roof by Mario in egg form. Mario could release Yoshi from the egg with a hat toss. Mario could also use Cappy to possess Yoshi. In this appearance, Yoshi could eat fruits and enemies with his tongue, and he could also use his tongue to cling and swing himself off of surfaces similar to a wall kick. He could not produce or throw eggs in this case, but each fruit he ate added to a stomach-filling meter that would produce one of three [[Power Moon]]s each time it was filled. Yoshi would also disappear if he came into contact with deep water. Yoshi was also shown to have a home near the castle (similar to his home from ''Super Mario World'') | + | In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Yoshi visited Peach's Castle after the main story and was found on its roof by Mario in egg form.

− | Yoshi | + | Yoshi has had a somewhat varied set of abilities, depending on which game he appears in and slightly on what appearance he's using. In ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi can eat enemies (which rewards Mario with coins) and Koopa shells (which can be spat back out). Certain colored Koopa shells will give him the abilities to fly, breathe fire, or stomp the ground extra hard. When Mario jumps off Yoshi's back, he gets an added boost. Yoshi will also absorb any hits that Mario takes while riding on him, though he tosses Mario off and frantically runs back and forth until falling into a pit or being remounted. In this game, Yoshi refuses to enter fortresses. |

− | + | ''Yoshi's Island'' presents Yoshis with the ability to make eggs from enemies they've eaten and then throw them (though they were first weaponized by Yoshi when controlled by the CPU in ''Super Mario Kart''). They can also flutter jump and/or ground pound after a jump. These abilities are all duplicated by Yoshi himself in ''Super Mario 64 DS''. An ability that is not duplicated, however, is the Yoshi's ability to sniff out fruit and other items that is seen in ''Yoshi's Story''. In ''Super Mario Sunshine'', Yoshis can spray fruit juice to wash away thick goop made by Bowser Jr. and damage enemies. This ability has also not been shown by the main Yoshi. In ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', Yoshi had his standard moves, but certain fruits could give him special abilities while changing his color. The Dash Pepper is spicy enough to turn Yoshi red and will make him temporarily run at high speeds, making the dinosaur capable of running on water as well as up steep walls. The Blimp Fruit inflates Yoshi and turns him blue, and in this form he will float upwards while blowing air until he runs out. The final fruit is the Blub Fruit, which makes Yoshi grow yellow and reveals hidden platforms. | |
− | [[ | + | The ''[[Portal: Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series gives Yoshi a moveset primarily based on ''Yoshi's Island'' and ''Yoshi's Story'', with some new moves such as the ability to encase himself within a large egg as a method of defense. The following are his special moves: |
*'''Standard Special Move: Egg Lay-''' Yoshi lashes out his tongue, and if anyone is caught in it, they will be temporarily entrapped in an egg until they can break free. This can be done near a ledge to instantly drop an opponent down the pit. | *'''Standard Special Move: Egg Lay-''' Yoshi lashes out his tongue, and if anyone is caught in it, they will be temporarily entrapped in an egg until they can break free.

*'''Final Smash: Super Dragon-''' This move is achieved through usage of a Smash Ball and appears only in ''Brawl''. It seems to be an exaggerated version of his Koopa shell-granted abilities from ''Super Mario World'', as Yoshi will grow a pair of elegant wings which allow flight and can breathe powerful fireballs at enemies. Yoshi also glows with a blue aura in this form, and the official website compares this to "the legendary tricolor Yoshi". | *'''Final Smash: Super Dragon-''' This move is achieved through usage of a Smash Ball and appears only in ''Brawl''.

− | + | *Yoshi made a cameo appearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' as one of the competing video game heroes. He was automatically ranked second, just below Mario while scoring above [[Link]]. | |
− | + | *He has made appearances in both of the edutainment games made featuring Mario. In ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Yoshi had accompanied the Mario Brothers to Antarctica, and after Mario was captured, Luigi could summon Yoshi to ride him around.

Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. His special attacks consist of turning opponents into eggs, throwing eggs, rolling himself into an egg, and ground pounding his foes. Yoshi is also notable as the only contestant to have his own shield; he uses a giant egg while everyone else uses a generic red bubble. [[Image:Yoshi-brawl.jpg|right|150px]] |
− | + | **In ''Melee'', he has three unlockable trophies, and in Japan it was also possible to obtain an extra trophy of Mario and Yoshi together. Within ''Brawl'' he has two trophies, one being a normal trophy while the other depicts his Final Smash. There are also stickers of Yoshi from ''Mario Party 2'', ''Yoshi Touch & Go'', the right Yoshis from ''Super Mario Land 2: Yoshi's Island'', in Car Yoshi form from ''Yoshi's Island'', in ship form from ''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy'' and with Mario from ''Super Mario Sunshine''. In the 3DS/Wii U games, Yosi has one trophy that is shared amongst both versions, and each version has its own different alternate Yoshi statue. The 3DS version also has a statue for Yoshi's New Island as well as a trophy showcasing Yoshi with the Egg 1 kart from ''Mario Kart 7'', and the Wii U version has a trophy for Yoshi's Final Smash . | |
− | + | **Within ''Brawl'''s "The Subspace Emissary", Yoshi was first seen in The Forest taking a nap on the stump near the [[Master Sword]]'s pedestal. When minions of the Subspace Army arrived and woke Yoshi, Yoshi teamed up with Link to fight them off. Yoshi continued traveling with [[Link]] and later helped him in the fight against Mario and [[Pit]] which resulted from a misunderstanding (which is strange considering that Yoshi knows Mario and usually would not have turned on him so quickly). After the misunderstanding was cleared, the four united and then teamed up with [[Kirby]] in pursuit of [[King Dedede]]; although this hunt failed, they did eventually meet up with [[Marth]] and [[Ike]] and teamed up with them, eventually forming the main party that traveled into Subspace to fight in the final battles. | |
