Yoshi's Island (location)

Yoshi's Island is where the Yoshis originate. It first 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 Koopa.

In Yoshi's Story, Baby Bowser took over the island in an attempt to capture the Super Happy Tree. Bowser placed a spell over all the Yoshis, but six were unaffected, as they were unhatched and still in their eggs at the time the spell was cast. The six Yoshis must battle their way to Baby Bowser while eating fruit and regain their island and break the spell.

In Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island, Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach vacation to the island, but Peach is kidnapped by Bowser while Mario and Luigi are away. The brothers must venture through the island, battling Bowser's monsters and rescuing the Yoshis, which Bowser imprisoned inside eggs.
