Hello, Yoshi![2] is a free application aimed towards young children released for iOS and Android devices[n 1] and the Nintendo Switch on November 18, 2025 as part of the My Mario series.[1] It was announced on November 7, 2025.[1] A similar app featuring Mario, titled Hello, Mario!, was released earlier in the same year on August 26. The player can interact with Yoshi in various ways, such as pulling on his facial features, or stretching out his tongue to eat items. Different colored Yoshis can also appear from Yoshi's Eggs.[1] An Internet connection is not required to play.[1]
Overview[edit]
Upon starting the application, a green Yoshi's Egg rolls from the left or right of the screen, with the player having to touch it to break it and reveal Yoshi's face.[3] The player can then interact with Yoshi in various ways, such as pulling on his facial features. They can also press, pull, or rotate parts of his face for some unique interactions.
- Pulling on Yoshi's mouth will allow the player to pull out his tongue. Touching an object or enemy with the tongue will cause Yoshi to eat it.[3]
- Pressing on Yoshi's nose several times will make him sneeze. Doing so will cause a single apple to fall from the top of the screen.[3]
- Pressing on Yoshi's eyes will make sunglasses appear from above and land on Yoshi.[3]
- Pressing on Yoshi's cheek will make him open his mouth.[3]
- Pulling on Yoshi's face to the left or right will make him change the direction of his face.[3]
- Rotating Yoshi's face will make him dizzy. Sliding it while in this state will make Yoshi bounce around the screen and make bubbles appear, with some containing Goombas and Bob-ombs. Hitting the bubbles with Yoshi will increase a number.[3] Hitting 100 bubbles makes one big bubble with confetti inside appear. After popping it, Yoshi congratulates the player.
- In the Nintendo Switch version, pressing the
, 
, 
, or 
buttons or any of the 
directional buttons will play a sound effect, causing Yoshi's face to vibrate. - After a while of playing, Yoshi can start playing peekaboo with the player.
If the player has been playing for a while, Yoshi will become sleepy, and the player will not be able to play any longer unless they close and reopen the application, as a way to encourage children to take a break.[1] This can be disabled in the settings in the mobile version.[3]
[edit]
On the top-left corner of the screen, the player can press on a ? Block icon to access the following options.
- Yoshi: Allows the player to play peekaboo with Yoshi.[3] A Boo occasionally makes an appearance.
- ? Block: A ? Block appears on the screen. It can be touched to make coins come out.[3] Sometimes, it will also release a Super Mushroom or a Super Star.
- Super Mushroom: A Super Mushroom appears on screen. Giving it to Yoshi will make him bigger. This allows him to pop bubbles more easily while bouncing around the screen.[3]
- Super Star: A Super Star will appear on screen and start circling around Yoshi. Giving it to him makes him invincible. This allows him to move faster while bouncing around the screen.[3]
- Warp Pipe: A Warp Pipe appears, which sucks Yoshi off the screen if he approaches it. Two scenarios can then happen: the player has to find a Yoshi's Egg from one of three pipes, with the other two containing enemies, or a pipe will appear and shoot out Yoshi when touched.[3] The color of the Yoshi's Egg changes each time the former scenario happens, with the Yoshi inside matching the egg's color: pink, yellow, light-blue, white, or green.[3]
- Blooper: A Blooper appears on screen and covers Yoshi in ink.[3] A Blooper Nanny along with its Blooper Babies may also appear.
- Cheep Cheep: A Cheep Cheep appears and hits Yoshi, making him smaller.[3]
- Note Block: The background and music changes to an underwater background with "Underwater BGM" from Super Mario Bros., an enemy pattern background with "Title BGM" from Super Mario World, and the default blank background with "Ground BGM" from Super Mario Bros. Yoshi sings the intro of each music track when switching.[3]
- Toad with camera: Toad appears on the bottom-left with a camera and a 3-second countdown starts, after which a screenshot of the screen is taken. The last-taken screenshot can be viewed by selecting it from the right of the ? Block menu.[3]
References to other games[edit]
- The "good night" screen uses an arrangement of Piranha Plant's Lullaby as the background music.
