Yoshi's Village

Yoshi Village is a small coastal village found on the coast of Lavalava Island. As its name suggests, it is entirely inhabited by Yoshis, who are led by a rather plump Chief Yoshi. The buildings in this village are all made of straw, bamboo, and other materials, which suggests that Yoshis have (albeit somewhat limited) architectural abilities.

Mario came upon this village during his journeys in Paper Mario, where he helped a Cheep-Cheep named Sushie round up some young Yoshis and return them to their parents. In return for this deed, Mario was given the Jade Raven by the Chief Yoshi, which he used to gain access to the deeper parts of the thick Jade Jungle.
