::A grand majority of his bios start with something along the lines of "He's been carrying Mario on his back for years" or that "he's Mario's trusty adventuring partner", which is not something you can say about a character who swaps out with any random member of his species. And I still stand by the individualization made by even modern bios (such as ''Yoshi's Crafted World'' specifically stating there's "Yoshi" and there's "all the other Yoshis" and ''Mario Party 10'' specifically stating that Yoshi has attended "every party to date", which proves it's the same Yoshi), which I think is more than enough. So whereas Boom Boom's question of being an individual started with ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', Yoshi still has 20 years of consistent proof that he's an individual in his species. Just because things are similar, we don't always need to conclude that they should just be merged, otherwise we may as well just [[Climbing Koopa|merge]] [[Shady Koopa|every]] [[Dark Koopa|Koopa Troopa]] together. {{User:Tails777/sig}} | ::A grand majority of his bios start with something along the lines of "He's been carrying Mario on his back for years" or that "he's Mario's trusty adventuring partner", which is not something you can say about a character who swaps out with any random member of his species.

:::Then how is Yoshi "back" in ''Sunshine'' when for all intents and purposes that ''can't'' be the same Yoshi? Your proof is anything ''but'' consistent.

:::In addition to the above, the whole "we might as well merge every Koopa Troopa" argument is pure apples-to-oranges mush; you're comparing clear enemy variants to ambiguous individualism between character and species. You might as well use the Birdo merge as an argument for doing that too. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 15:25, April 15, 2022 (EDT) | :::In addition to the above, the whole "we might as well merge every Koopa Troopa" argument is pure apples-to-oranges mush; you're comparing clear enemy variants to ambiguous individualism between character and species.

::::What's the chronology of Sunshine stating Yoshi is "back" and the "Yoshis/enemies are goop" explanation, though? I was under the impression that the goop clarification was made much later, which wouldn't mean that the Sunshine Yoshi outright can't be the Yoshi, just that he was originally intended to be, and it was retconned later. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:50, April 15, 2022 (EDT) | ::::What's the chronology of Sunshine stating Yoshi is "back" and the "Yoshis/enemies are goop" explanation, though?
