Pink Yoshi

Pink Yoshis are a variety of Yoshi debuting in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
A Pink Yoshi first appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Here, it is only playable in the second level of each world. It has pink skin and orange shoes with an orange saddle. However, in the Game Boy Advance port, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island, Pink Yoshi wears blue shoes instead. Apart from its colour scheme, it does not bear any differences from the other types of Yoshis in the game.

In the original game for the Super Nintendo, the Pink Yoshi is much more magenta in colour. However, this was changed in the Game Boy Advance remake, where it is a truer pink color, much like in other games it appears in.

''Yoshi's Story
In Yoshi's Story, a Pink Yoshi is among the Baby Yoshis the player can choose from before starting a level. It wears yellow shoes and a red saddle in this game, a colour scheme also present in most later games, excluding Super Mario Sunshine. It does not differ from other playable Yoshis apart from its colour and diet.

''Yoshi Touch & Go
In Yoshi Touch & Go, Baby Mario can acquire a Pink Yoshi by achieving a score of at least 80, but less than 100 points in the vertical falling parts of the game. Here, it can carry a total of 30 eggs and is the third slowest Yoshi, being faster than the Light Blue Yoshi but slower than the Blue Yoshi.

''Super Mario Sunshine
Yoshi can turn into a Pink Yoshi in Super Mario Sunshine. If he eats a Coconut or a Banana, his pigment turns pink in colour. While pink, Yoshi's juice can turn enemies into platforms that move vertically upwards.

''New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Pink Yoshi is ridable in New Super Mario Bros. Wii along with the Green, Yellow, and Light Blue Yoshi.

Super Smash Bros. series
Pink Yoshi also appears in the Super Smash Bros. series as one of Yoshi's recolors. Although not playable in Super Smash Bros., it is playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

''Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, if the Yoshi kid takes 15-18 minutes to hatch, it hatches as a Pink Yoshi kid. The Pink Yoshi kid has green hair, and red polka dotted briefs.

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

''Mario Super Sluggers
In Mario Super Sluggers, the Pink Yoshi is a team player. It has the worst pitching abilities in the game, but it also has the fastest running abilities for a player that cannot be the team captain.

Mario Sports Mix
Pink Yoshi appears in Mario Sports Mix as an alternative coloration of Yoshi. It can be unlocked by playing a certain number of matches with Yoshi. This also applies to unlocking the light blue and yellow colorations.
