Purple Yoshi

Purple Yoshis are a variety of Yoshi that first appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
The Purple Yoshi of this game is playable on the fifth stage of each eight-stage world.

Yoshi's Story
Purple Yoshi, with Brown Yoshi, were going to be in Yoshi's Story, but both were removed in the final version. A Purple Yoshi still appears in the intro of Yoshi's Story.

Super Mario Sunshine
Purple Yoshis also appeared in Super Mario Sunshine. Yoshis can turn purple by eating a Durian or a Pepper. While purple, they can spit juice, turning enemies into platforms that moves in a horizontal direction.

Yoshi's Island DS
They reappear in Yoshi's Island DS, with an identical role to that of Yoshi's Island. At the end of the game, Purple Yoshi, along the other Yoshis, with Baby Wario on the back, help defeat Bowser.

Yoshi's New Island
In Yoshi's New Island, Purple Yoshis are again playable on the fifth level of each world. Also, if a Grim Leecher touches any Yoshi color, the Yoshi will turn purple, and the controls will be reversed.

Physical Appearance
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Purple Yoshi debuted with purple skin and orange shoes with an orange saddle. In the Game Boy Advance port, however, Purple Yoshi wears pink shoes.

Although Purple Yoshi has artwork for the game Yoshi's Story, and is even in the intro sequence, it is absent. Its artwork depict it with dark pink shoes and a red saddle, which would remain its design from then on, except for Super Mario Sunshine, where it wore orange shoes as the other Yoshis in that game.

In Yoshi's Island DS, Purple Yoshi wears dark red shoes; in Yoshi's New Island, they are hot red.
