Yoshi (disambiguation)

Yoshi is a dinosaur that first appeared in the video game Super Mario World. Following it, comes Yoshi's Island where Yoshi rescues Baby Mario, and helps reunite him with Baby Luigi. Yoshi also helps Luigi find Mario in Mario is Missing. Yoshi then became popular, as he was in such games as Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Party. Yoshi finally starred in his own game, Yoshi's Story, where he and his other fellow Yoshi's went to save the Super Happy Tree.

Another Yoshi appears as one of Mario's partners. Depending on how long the player takes to hatch his egg after acquiring it, he'll vary in colors: green, blue, red, orange, pink, white and black. You also can make your file name into the color you want. The player is also granted the option of giving the newborn Yoshi a name, no more than 8 characters long, when the Yoshi joins the party. The defauly name is Yoshi, not to be confused with the main green one. Mario can ride him, making you move faster, and like Parakarry from the original Paper Mario, his Flutter Jump, while too weak to fly high, can get you across large gaps. He can also get you to places quickly, since he is fast on his feet. Throughout the game, he refers to Mario as the Great Gonzales, because that's what everyone called him in the Glitz Pit. Yoshi's attacks make him a formidable and easy-to-use partner, as he possesses many unique abilities to confound foes. He is known for having multiple-weak attacks, like his ground pound move. After the adventure, the Yoshi apparently returns to the Glitz Pit, where he fights under the name 'Great Gonzales Jr.' He is known as "Chibiyoshi" (a cross between "Chibi" and "Yoshi")in the Japanese version. He is voiced by Issac Marshall.
