Yoshi's Village

Yoshi's Village is a small coastal village that is visited during Paper Mario. It is located on Lavalava Island. As its name suggests, the village is entirely inhabited by Yoshis, who are led by the rather plump Village Leader. The buildings in this village are all made of straw, bamboo, and other natural materials.

Mario came upon this village during his journeys in Paper Mario. During his adventures here, he helped a Cheep-Cheep named Sushie round up the group of young Yoshis called the Fearsome 5 and return them to their parents. In return for this deed, Mario was given the Jade Raven by the Village Leader, which he used to gain access to the deeper parts of the thick Jade Jungle.
