Yoshi (franchise)

The Yoshi Series is a series of games containing Yoshi. Yoshi used to be part of the Marioverse, but later got his own series (which is still taken as canonical to and often intertwined with the Mario series.

The series is considered more of spin-offs that Yoshi's own series, because, in the series, Bowser (mostly as Baby Bowser) appears and, in some games, Baby Mario appears.
