It has been suggested that this article be split into Yoshi (species), Black and White Yoshi (Yoshi's Story), Red Yoshi (Super Mario World), Blue Yoshi (Super Mario World), Yellow Yoshi (Super Mario World). Reason: While not diegetically distinct as characters in the way that something like White Shy Guy might be, they have pretty significant gameplay differences and could be argued as distinct "game assets" so to speak in the same way as something like para-enemies.

Yoshis (referred to as Yoshisaurs in the Super Mario World cartoon, and formerly pluralized as "Yoshies" in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island) are a sapient species of omnivorous dinosaur-like creatures that first appeared in Super Mario World. They later starred in their own series of games. The most well-known Yoshi is green and simply named Yoshi. He is an ally of Mario, often aiding him or being a protagonist in his own adventures.
Yoshis are known for their long tongues, which they use to grab and eat fruits or enemies. They can lay eggs on their own, sometimes as a result of swallowing an enemy or eating enough food, and they can throw said eggs as an attack. Other eggs hatch into items, and some eggs hatch into Baby Yoshis. In some games, such as the Super Smash Bros. series, Yoshis can hide in eggs for defense (instead of using shields as with most fighters) and roll into eggs for an attack. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, such as red, blue, yellow, etc., although green is the most common color. Yoshis also mostly live on Yoshi's Island; however, they are a widespread species and can live on a number of other islands, such as Lavalava Island and Isle Delfino, as well as the continental Mushroom Kingdom and the neighboring Beanbean Kingdom.

General information[edit]
Physical description[edit]
Yoshis are bipedal non-avian dinosaur-like creatures that come in many different colors, with green being the most common. They have large, round snouts with big eyes protruding out of the very tops of their heads, their faces resembling those of Koopa Troopas. Red, stegosaurus-like spines run down their backsides, and they have white underbellies. They are almost always seen wearing large, brightly-colored shoes, which are usually orange or red. They were initially portrayed with somewhat more realistic, therapod dinosaur-like features, such as a hunched-over, birdlike stance, a longer neck, and small hands with three digits. Hands with four digits appear first in the Super Mario World television series from DIC, then in the Japanese commercial of Mario Paint,[2] and in artwork of Super Mario Kart;[3] this has become a common design choice by the end of the 1990s.[4] The design of Yoshis has since changed to make them more anthropomorphic, with upright postures, shorter necks and human-like four digit hands. They usually retain their hunched stance in games where other characters ride them, however. Even though Yoshis are typically portrayed as having no visible teeth and swallowing their enemies whole without chewing them, they have been shown to have a full set of upper and lower teeth since the Super Mario Picture Books published by Shogakukan and written in collaboration with Nintendo,[5] in particular: Super Mario Story Quiz Picture Book 2: Mario's Sports Day,[6] and Super Mario Chie Asobi Ehon ④ Larry No Itazura (Super Mario Wisdom Games Picture Book ④ Larry's Mischief),[7] with the new design retaining them as seen in artwork for Yoshi's Story.[8] The teeth are commonly shown in-game in sprite-based Yoshi platformers while one is flutter jumping. Yoshis were originally conceived of as a type of Koopa, with the saddles on their backs being their shells.[9] Even in the bio of Yoshi on Nintendo's Japanese site, the saddle is considered to be a shell. Although most Yoshis have never been seen without their shoes, the appearance of Boshi in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars confirms that Yoshis have three toes on each foot, and also have white pads on the bottom of their feet, as shown in Super Mario Story Quiz Picture Book 5: Mario's Amusement Park (「スーパーマリオおはなしクイズえほん 5 マリオの ゆうえんち」).[10] Early Yoshi sprites for Super Mario World showed babies that were blob-like in shape and adults with mouths resembling those of the current Baby Yoshis.
A Yoshi's physical appearance changes depending how old they are. For example, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Yoshi Kid appears much smaller compared to adult Yoshis. He also has hair, while most other Yoshis do not, though this is most likely to differentiate the character as playable. Newly-hatched little Yoshis featured in Super Mario World (among other games) are both smaller and also proportioned differently than the adults, with short, stubby bodies lacking in saddles, almost no neck, and a slightly down-curved snout. After eating enough enemies, food or power-ups, these little Yoshis will undergo a rapid growth spurt and turn into adults from that point onward.
Color variations[edit]
Yoshis come in a variety of colors; this has been a trademark characteristic of the fictional species since its beginning. In Super Mario Sunshine, they can change skin color by eating different fruit, while their colors are determined by hatching time in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. In Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, Yoshis come in many themed designs and patterns as opposed to being one color, including designs based on enemies, Nintendo consoles and even other Nintendo characters. Shoe color changes along with skin color: a Green Yoshi has orange shoes, a Red Yoshi has blue shoes, a Yellow Yoshi has green shoes, etc. This shoe color denomination was not standardized until Yoshi's Story.
In Super Mario World, Yoshis have different abilities depending on their color and the Koopa Shell they hold in their mouth. If a Blue Yoshi holds a Koopa Shell of any color, it can temporarily grow wings until it is swallowed or spat out. If a Red Yoshi holds a shell of any color, it can spit it back out as a trio of fireballs. If a Yellow Yoshi holds a shell of any color, it can create sand clouds when landing on the ground until it is swallowed or spat out. Shells of corresponding color can also grant these abilities for a Yoshi of any color. In the SNES version, all Yoshi sprites, excluding the overworld map sprites, have orange arms. This was changed for the GBA port to having the arms match the rest of the body.

Speech[edit]
Yoshis are capable of speaking intelligibly, as demonstrated by Yoshi in Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Tetris Attack, and Super Mario Galaxy 2, as well as other Yoshis in games like Yoshi's Story, Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, and others. However, other games present Yoshis' speech in parentheses, such as Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (in which Yoshi must translate the speech of other Yoshis for Mario) and the Mario & Luigi series. Others have Yoshis only say the word "Yoshi" followed by a translation of what they are saying in parentheses, such as the Mario Baseball[Japanese] series, Fortune Street, Super Mario Party, and others. The Super Mario Adventures comic jokes that Yoshis only say the word "Yoshi" to communicate. Their language has been referred to as simply "Yoshi".[11]
In some games, particularly older ones, Yoshis produce a sound of two pitch-bended orchestra hits (in Super Mario World, only Yoshi speaks with a text bubble, though this was changed in the Super Mario Advance 2 version). In Yoshi's Story and many later games, the Yoshis are voiced by Nintendo musician Kazumi Totaka, who mutters the word "Yoshi" and other unintelligible sounds, such as "blum" and "ho hup". His voice is sped up to create the baby-like, high-pitched voices of the Yoshis.
Although Baby Yoshis retain their squeaky voices in New Super Mario Bros. U and New Super Luigi U, their speech bubbles once again consist of the word "Yoshi" followed by a translation.
Powers and abilities[edit]
Yoshis are known for their long, chameleon-like tongues that allow them to swallow whatever they eat and turn it into an egg. Most commonly, they eat fruit. The eggs can then be thrown at obstacles, enemies, and bosses, while other eggs hatch into items like 1-Up Mushrooms. Yoshis usually swallow items and enemies very quickly, although in Super Mario World, Yoshis takes a while before swallowing Koopa Shells.
Since Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshis have become known for their ability to execute a Flutter Jump, a move in which they rapidly move their legs to gain extra height and air time. Yoshis are also one of the first characters shown performing proper Ground Pounds—a move in which the performer jumps into the air, flips, and then slams into the ground. Yoshis first performed the move in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Yoshi's Yoshi Bomb in the Super Smash Bros. series has him ground pound as his down special move.
Sometimes, when eating an object such as a special fruit or a Koopa Shell, Yoshis can gain unique abilities. Red, blue and yellow shells in Super Mario World allow Yoshis to breath fireballs, fly or shake the ground, respectively. The Dash Pepper, Blimp Fruit and the Bulb Berry from Super Mario Galaxy 2 cause Yoshis to run rapidly, inflate and float, and glow in the dark, respectively. Eating a Bean Fruit from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga causes them to lay a Neon Egg.
Most games show that Yoshis can swim, although how well they swim varies. In Super Mario World, they can swim and dive, although in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS, they cannot dive without their submarine form. Yoshi also cannot dive in Super Mario Galaxy 2, although he can swim. In Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshis that live on or around Isle Delfino turn green and disappear if they touch water.
Gender and reproduction[edit]
The in-game Japanese text of Yoshi's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee states that Yoshis are neither male nor female. In the Chef minigame in Game & Watch Gallery 2 and Game & Watch Gallery 4, a Yoshi is shown to hatch other Yoshis without a mate; after being fed long enough, the Yoshi produces an egg that eventually hatches into another Yoshi. The baby then takes its parent's place and proceeds to eat enough food to turn into an adult, eventually producing an egg of its own, which then continues the cycle.
Other sources have shown Yoshis appearing to have a gender. At least one of the Yoshis in Paper Mario refers to his "son," and in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Yoshi who sometimes appears on board the Excess Express expresses his hatred of business trips due to them keeping him away from his "lovely wife". The original Mario Party also features a pair of Yoshis which appear to be one male and one female, although the exact nature of their relationship is not known. Additionally, while Yoshi is rarely referred to with gender-specific pronouns in Japanese, he is consistently referred to with masculine pronouns in translation, with laying eggs being one of his trademarks. This confusion is addressed in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where Solid Snake assumes that Yoshi is a female because of his egg-laying abilities, only to be corrected by Otacon (both of whom use "it" rather than "he" or "she" while they are talking about Yoshi). It is addressed again in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where Viridi remarks that there is nothing natural about a male who lays eggs while Palutena asserts that all living beings have both male and female elements.

Lineup of differently-colored Yoshis
Naming[edit]
- Main section: Yoshi § Naming
The Japanese name「ヨッシー」(Yosshī) was introduced in the instruction booklet for the original Super Mario World,[17] in which it is only applied to the "main" green-colored character. Other Yoshis in the source - namely Red Yoshi, Yellow Yoshi, Blue Yoshi, and Baby Yoshis - are accompanied by descriptive adjectives. In many subsequent games, particularly in the Yoshi series,「ヨッシー」(Yosshī) is broadly applied to all members of the species, with distinctions between the recurring green-colored character and general members of the species sometimes opaque, similar to Toad and Kamek. In Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, there is no distinction between singular and plural nouns. In French material localized between 2002 and 2008, Italian, Polish, and Russian, "Yoshi" is a zero-plural noun similar to English words like "deer" or "sheep". In English and all other localizations, distinction is made between a single "Yoshi" and multiple "Yoshis".

Green Yoshi[edit]
"Green Yoshi" refers to the most recurring color of Yoshi, which was introduced in Super Mario World as the individual character Yoshi. In Super Mario World and the majority of subsequent contexts, this charcter is green but the color itself is not applied as an adjective in his name even if he is alongisde Yoshis of other colors. The distinction or boundaries between the individual character and other members of the broader Yoshi species is sometimes opaque. There are games where there are many green-colored Yoshis such as in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. There are games where there is an individual character named Yoshi that is green, but his color changes under certain conditions, such as in Super Mario World, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Mario Kart World. Finally, there are games where there is only one green-colored Yoshi, but its prominence is contextually on equal footing with the other colored Yoshis, such as in Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Woolly World, or the unlockable Mystery Mushroom costume named "Green Yarn Yoshi" in Super Mario Maker. The latter three examples are titles that employ the name "Green Yoshi" and are the games covered in the table below.
