Black Yoshi

Black Yoshi is a Yoshi that first appears in Yoshi's Story. He can first be found in secret areas of World 2. Along with White Yoshi, he has certain abilities that give him advantages over the other Yoshis.

Yoshi's Story
They can be found in large, hidden eggs on pages 2-1 or 2-4. Black Yoshis and White Yoshis are the only Yoshis in Yoshi's Story that enjoy all the fruit, even the red Peppers. In addition, Black Yoshis can eat other things that the rest can't, such as Black Shy Guys. Another special power he possess in Yoshi's Story is that his eggs explode in gigantic explosions, destroying more than one enemy at a time. However Black Yoshi has a very low voice, in fact the lowest of all the Yoshis in the game. If the player loses Black Yoshi, the White Shy Guy cannot retrieve him.

Yoshi's Island DS
Black Yoshis reappear in Yoshi's Island DS and are playable in the secret levels of each world.

Mario Power Tennis
In Mario Power Tennis, Yoshi can change colors every time he performs a Rolling Egg Return, provided the player has completed the Flower Cup with any character. One of the colors that Yoshi can turn is black.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in chapter three, black is one of the colors the player's Yoshi kid can come out as.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Black Yoshi appeared once, during the battle with Sunnycide (This Black Yoshi was not present in all but the U.S. versions of the game, with a Yellow Yoshi taking his place ). Like the other Yoshis, he can be freed from his egg, where he'll run to push a rock. He is the second to hatch when opening the Yoob egg.
