Baby Yoshi



Baby Yoshis (also known as Little Yoshis) are newborn Yoshis born out of Yoshi Eggs, making their first appearance in Super Mario World. The only Baby Yoshis are found in Star World. Feeding the Baby Yoshis enemies will make them turn into adult Yoshis. It takes roughly six enemies for this to happen. However, if a baby Yoshi eats a star, it'll grow up instantly.

A Baby Yoshi form of the adult grown Yoshi appeared in the Super Mario World episode "Mama Luigi"; unlike the Baby Yoshis of the Super Mario World game, Yoshi was shown to be able to move on his own as a baby and didn't possess any shoes on his feet either. He was also shown to talk and even after having eaten more than six enemies he didn't grow into an adult.

A Yellow Little Yoshi appeared in the game Tetris Attack. He appeared to be Yoshi's friend. Also note that his shoe is the same color as Yoshi's.

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, a pudgy Baby Yoshi appears as an inhabitant of Yo'ster Isle; Mario can feed this Baby Yoshi Yoshi Cookies.

The Yoshis in Yoshi's Story were newborn, however they looked different from the Super Mario World Baby Yoshis. During the story sequences at the beginning and ending of the game, they were shown to have smaller and less developed bodies in contrast to the Yoshis seen only on the very first page in the intro.

A group of Yoshi children calling themselves the Fearsome 5 were encountered on Lavalava Island in Paper Mario. When first encountered, they were being watched over by Sushie, though they were thinking up plans of their own. When Mario later returned to the village after he discovers that the path to Mt. Lavalava is inaccessible, the older Yoshis are going berserk over the Yoshi children's sudden disappearance. Mario helped Sushie down from the tree that they trapped her in, and found all five Yoshis.

Yoshi from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is small like a Baby Yoshi, however other than being newborn he doesn't have the characteristics of the Baby Yoshis from Super Mario World as he was born with hair and was immediatly able to talk after being born and even had pants. A Baby Yoshi was born in the end of Yoshi's Island DS. He is one of the Star Children. This Yoshi might be the Yoshi found in games like Mario Party or just a regular Green Yoshi.
