Baby Yoshi



"Yahoo! Together we are so strong. Together we should stay. Let nothing come between any of us, ever again."

- Little Yoshi

Baby Yoshis (also known as Little Yoshis) are newborn Yoshis born out of Yoshi Eggs, making their first appearance in Super Mario World.

Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, red, yellow green and blue Baby Yoshis are found in Star World, where they hatch from eggs of the same color whenever Mario makes his approach. Feeding the Baby Yoshis roughly five enemies will make them turn into adult Yoshis; however, if a baby Yoshi eats any powerup, it'll grow up instantly. Also, all the Yoshis Mario rescues from the Koopalings hatch into Baby Yoshis during the ending cutscene. Unlike the Star World Yoshis, these ones' colors aren't related to their eggs: there is one green Baby Yoshi and two of every other color, yet they all hatched from yellow eggs. Strangely, Yoshi himself hatches directly into an adult when Mario uncovers his egg, but this is because Bowser trapped Yoshi in the egg.

Super Mario World TV series
A Baby Yoshi form of the adult grown Yoshi appeared in the Super Mario World episode "Mama Luigi"; unlike the Baby Yoshis of the Super Mario World game, Yoshi was shown to be able to move on his own as a baby and didn't possess any shoes on his feet either. He was also shown to talk and even after having eaten more than six enemies he didn't grow into an adult.

Tetris Attack
Baby Yoshis are known as Little Yoshis in Tetris Attack. A Yellow Little Yoshi appeared in the game Tetris Attack. He appeared to be Yoshi's friend. Also note that his shoes are the same color as Yoshi's.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a pudgy Baby Yoshi appears as an inhabitant of Yo'ster Isle; Mario can feed this Baby Yoshi Yoshi Cookies.

Yoshi's Story
The Yoshis in Yoshi's Story were newborn, however they looked different from the Super Mario World Baby Yoshis. During the story sequences at the beginning and ending of the game, they were shown to have smaller and less developed bodies in contrast to the Yoshis seen only on the very first page in the intro.

Yoshi's Island DS
A Baby Yoshi was born in the end of Yoshi's Island DS. He is one of the Star Children.

Paper Mario
A group of Yoshi children calling themselves the Fearsome 5 were encountered on Lavalava Island in Paper Mario. When first encountered, they were being watched over by Sushie, though they were thinking up plans of their own. When Mario later returned to the village after he discovers that the path to Mt. Lavalava is inaccessible, the older Yoshis are going berserk over the Yoshi children's sudden disappearance. Mario helped Sushie down from the tree that they trapped her in, and found all five Yoshis.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
Yoshi from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is small like a Baby Yoshi, however other than being newborn he doesn't have the characteristics of the Baby Yoshis from Super Mario World as he was born with hair and was immediately able to talk after being born and even had pants.
