To make it through Yoshi's Island and defeat Bowser, you'll have to stay sharp and know just what to do in every situation you'll encounter.

Super Smash Bros.

 * Instruction booklet bio: Yoshi is the cute dinosaur that lives on a tropical island. You'd be surprised what he can do with a simple egg.
 * Game bio: Yoshi is the friendly dinosaur of Yoshi's Island. He began as Mario's partner, but has since built his own identity, and now appears in many games. He uses his unique ability to turn whatever he swallows into an egg as his foremost attacks. Yoshi's come in a rainbow of colours and are said to have a high IQ from a very early age.


 * BradyGAMES guide (page 47): This green dinosaur isn't quite as old as some of the other characters in Super Smash Bros., but Yoshi has had his fair share of games. His career started as a somewhat small role in Super Mario World on the Super NES, but he then spun off into his own series, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He saw a sequel on the N64, Yoshi's Story, and you can relive some of that obnoxious cuteness in this fighting game.

Instruction booklet
"A dinosaur that boasts surprising jumping prowess."

Official Player's Guide

 * Daring dino Yoshi dances to the beat of his own smash track. While other battlers have a third jump to fall back on, Yoshi can jump only twice before he becomes ground-bound. When he does jump, though, he soars. His overall ability to take hits is strong, and he is nearly invincible while airborne. When Yoshi is planted on the ground, he can stay in one spot easily and hold his position. It's difficult to knock him off the stage.

Snake's codec

 * Snake: Otacon! What's this lizard thing?
 * Otacon: That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for its long, chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swallowed whole.
 * Snake: It lays eggs and throws them, right? ...Then it must be female.

Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)

 * Yoshi and Mario are always palling around together on adventures. It's nice to see true friends like that. He even lets Mario ride on his back! Man, I'd give anything to ride a Yoshi. Anything! ...Well, OK. Not ANYTHING. But you get what I mean.
 * Yoshi is such a glutton! That long tongue can pick up pretty much anything, though I hear his favorite food is melon.
 * There are lots of varieties and colors of Yoshis, but they're all still just called "Yoshi." It's not really a name like how "Mario" is. If you're even in doubt, you can tell a Yoshi by their kind heart, fast feet, and huge appetite!
