Appearances
Yoshi could turn into a Pink Yoshi in Super Mario Sunshine. If Yoshi ate a Coconut or a Banana, his pigment would turn pink in color. While pink, Yoshi's juice would turn enemies into platforms that moved vertically upwards.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, If the Yoshi Kid took 15-18 minutes to hatch, it would hatch as a Pink Yoshi Kid. The Pink Yoshi Kid has green hair, and red polka dotted briefs.

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 pink.

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Pink Yoshi debuts with pink skin and orange shoes with an orange saddle. However in the Game Boy Advance port, Pink Yoshi wore blue shoes.

From Yoshi's Story and on, Pink Yoshi had yellow shoes and a red saddle, except for Super Mario Sunshine, where it wore orange shoes like the other Yoshis in that game.

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

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

According to a promotional mail sent by Nintendo, the Pink Yoshi will appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Trivia

However, this was changed in the Game Boy Advance remake Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island. In this remake, the Pink Yoshi is a truer pink color, much like the Pink Yoshi from Yoshi's Story.
