'''Yoshi's Island''' is where [[Yoshi]] was [[Super Mario World|first discovered]] (and where his [[Yoshi (species)|species]] appears to be native to), hence his name.<ref>As stated in the ''Super Mario World'' instruction manual p. 19. ''"Yoshi was first discovered on Yoshi's Island, that's how he got his name."''</ref> The island is part of a larger region called [[Dinosaur Land]] and first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi's Island is the first world of the game, as well as where Yoshi is first met. It is located at the southwest portion of Dinosaur Land. Yoshi's House is located where [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] begin their jouney, with the Yellow Switch Palace at the summit of [[Kappa Mountain]] to the northwest, and #1 Iggy's Castle to the northeast. After the castle is cleared, a bridge opens to the [[Donut Plains]]. The world is grassland-themed and can be re-accessed at any time in the game.

Yoshi's Island next appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', when [[Baby Mario]] fell down to the island after the [[Stork]] carrying the Mario brothers was attacked by [[Kamek]]. Yoshi found lost Baby Mario, and the Yoshis decided to team up and rescue [[Baby Luigi]] who got kidnapped by Kamek and send the Stork on its way to the babies' parents. Yoshi and Baby Mario had to search the entire island and find Baby Luigi, fighting bosses along the way. When Baby Luigi is rescued, the Yoshis bid farewell to the babies as the Stork flies away. The worlds are listed as follows:

Although the final world is [[World 6 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 6]] (Koopa Kingdom), it technically is not present on Yoshi's Island, as the cutscene where Yoshi clears World 5 shows Yoshi teleporting to the final world.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', [[Baby Bowser]] took over the island in an attempt to capture the [[Super Happy Tree]]. Baby Bowser placed a spell over all the Yoshis, but six were unaffected (as well as two more later on), as they were unhatched and still in their eggs at the time the spell was cast. The six Yoshis battled their way to Baby Bowser while eating fruit and regained their island by defeating Baby Bowser and breaking the spell to get the island back. Eventually, the situation in the island returned back to normal with the Super Happy Tree left unstolen.

The island reappeared in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', in which many babies ended up there. Kamek started to kidnap babies from all over the world, including Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and Baby Peach. Luckily, the Stork arrived just in time to rescue Baby Mario and [[Baby Peach]]. The Yoshi clan ended up finding the babies again, and decided to help Baby Mario rescue his captive brother, and the rest of the kidnapped babies. Yoshi ended up finding two other captured babies, [[Baby DK]] and [[Baby Wario]], who decide to help find the babies. Eventually, it's revealed that the culprit of the kidnapped babies was the Kamek from the future, and adult [[Bowser]], who were after the Star Children. Because of an argument, Baby Bowser ended up helping the other babies in their journey. However, once they reached the end of [[Bowser's Castle]], Baby Bowser betrayed the Yoshi clan and the other babies, but was soon defeated. Bowser soon battled the Yoshis because of what they did to his baby self. However, with the aid of the giant Yoshi eggs, Bowser was also defeated. He was then bloated up in size, where he proceeded to try to destroy the other Yoshis. However, with teamwork between all four of the babies, the Yoshis were able to defeat Bowser, who escaped back to his own time. Baby Luigi was rescued, and peace returned to Yoshi's Island. The worlds are listed as follows:

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', it goes by the name '''Yo’ster Isle''', which is closer to the original Japanese name. It is an optional area of [[Mario World]] and can be easily bypassed by ignoring the [[Pipe Vault]] and moving on to [[Moleville]]. The island is the home to many Yoshis of various colors. Yoshis find entertainment in the [[Mushroom Derby]], a short race on the island's track. The Yoshis of the island enjoy racing and hold the Derby often. The island is also a famous tourist destination; for many years, people from around the world have traveled to Yo’ster Isle to experience its many features.<ref>''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 24.</ref>  

Yo’ster Isle is connected to the mainland by a [[Warp Pipe]] to Pipe Vault. The island is rich with vegetation and scattered with trees. No true buildings exist, yet small, open shelters made of wooden poles and covered with leafy roofs provide the Yoshis with protection from harsh weather. Most of the Yoshis can't actually speak directly to [[human]]s; only [[Yoshi]] can communicate with [[Mario]], and acts as translator when talking to the other [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. Besides Yoshi himself, there are several important Yoshis: [[Boshi]], a blue Yoshi known for his antisocial behavior, and a small, green, [[Baby Yoshi]] that hatches and grows during the course of the game, though never leaves the small nest. If Mario feeds him enough [[Yoshi Cookie|cookies]], he will eventually be rewarded with a few rare items, including [[Red Essence]].

Boshi was once considered the leader of the island after he won the Mushroom Derby and declared himself boss of the Yoshis. However, with the help of Mario and Yoshi, Boshi was defeated in another Mushroom Derby race and the Yoshis began to live freely again. Although the Yoshis make up the indigenous population, the island is considered a vacation hotspot and [[Raz]] and [[Raini]], two [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], spent their honeymoon there.

According to the ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide, Yo’ster Isle is a part of [[Pond to Pipes|World 2: Pond to Pipes]]. However, on the in-game map screen, the location is accessed as if it belongs to its own world connected to but distinct from World 2.

There are three different stages that have appeared in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], which are all based upon, and entitled (though ''Super Smash Bros.''{{'}}s version was renamed in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''), Yoshi's Island. They are all based off different games, however: the first is based off ''Yoshi's Story'', the second off ''Super Mario World'' and the final one off ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.

Yoshi's Island is also one of the courses in ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]]. It can have winds of up to 32 kilometers per hour and the occasional rain that slows down shots. It is mainly bumpy and has holes in which players need to shoot over the water to avoid an O.B. water hazard penalty. Constant [[Donkey Kong]] voices are part of the ambiance. The Nintendo 64 version also features fruits lining the tracks. This course was later re-created with the theme of [[Sparkling Waters]] in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' under the [[Sparkling Waters (golf course)|same name]].

During the events of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the island is attacked by [[Yoob]] and the [[Shroob]]s. After the first two [[Cobalt Star|Cobalt Shard]]s are stolen by [[Baby Bowser]], [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Baby Mario]] and [[Baby Luigi]] visits the island from the time hole in the library on the second floor of Peach's Castle. They meet a reporter called [[Kylie Koopa]] and a giant, Yoshi-like monster called Yoob who attacks the town, as well as Baby Bowser and the young Kamek, who they chase after to the top of the mountain. This game portrays the island with unique enemies such as [[Pidgit]]s who were only known to exist in Subcon and [[Coconutter]]s who are a completely new species. There were [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] statues around the island, and one of them had a hole where the spring water was coming out. Baby Mario drinks this to become [[Pump Mario]], allowing him to spit out water in short spurts.

The music that plays in the village section of the island is a rendition of the title screen music from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.

In ''[[Mario and the Incredible Rescue]]'', Yoshi's Island once again appears, again by the name Yo’ster Isle. During the adventure, Mario, [[Luigi]] and [[Toad]] traveled to Yo’ster Isle looking for the next [[Mushroom]]. They end up getting attacked by [[Lakitu]] and [[Spiny|Spinies]], but Yoshi arrives and eats [[Lakitu's Cloud]]. As such, Mario can get the Mushroom and escape, allowing his party to advance to [[Moleville]].

Yoshi's Island also appears as a playable game board in ''[[Itadaki Street DS]]'' and ''[[Fortune Street]]''.
