Blue Yoshi

Blue Yoshis is a variant color species of the Yoshi species.

''Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, Blue Yoshis can fly while holding any color of shell in their mouths (the special effects granted by the Yellow and Red Shells are still applicable as well).

Any Yoshi can become a Blue Yoshi if the Wing power-up is found. It sends Mario and the Yoshi to a brief bonus stage where the Yoshi's wings are permanent; after they fall out of the stage, the wings are lost, but the blue colour remains.

A baby Blue Yoshi can be found in the underwater Star World 2 stage.

Super Mario 64 DS
In Super Mario 64 DS, the third player in VS. Mode is Blue Yoshi. They do not have any special skills, their abilities are the same as the other playable Yoshis.

''New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The Blue Yoshi was going to appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but it was replaced by the Light Blue Yoshi.

''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island they're playable on the eighth level of every world (boss castle), except for 6-8: King Bowser's Castle, in which Green Yoshi takes its place. This makes it the least-used of the Yoshis.

''Yoshi's Story
A young Blue Yoshi appears as a playable character in Yoshi's Story. Its favorite fruit is Grapes.

Super Smash Bros. series
Blue Yoshi also appears in the Super Smash Bros. series. Although not playable in Super Smash Bros., it appears with the Yoshi team in 1-Player Mode. In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it's one of Yoshi's recolors. Blue Yoshi also represents the blue team in team battles. A Blue Yoshi also appears as a sticker in Brawl.

Paper Mario series
Blue Yoshis are also present in the Yoshi's Village on Lavalava Island, featured in the game Paper Mario.

In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, one of the Yoshi Kid's colors is blue.

''Mario Power Tennis
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 blue.

''Mario Super Sluggers
In Mario Super Sluggers, Blue Yoshi makes its baseball debut as a color change for Yoshi. In Challenge Mode, Blue Yoshi is found in Yoshi Park. It gives the player several questions in order to figure out the combination for the gate. Afterwards, it joins Mario on his quest. The Blue Yoshi has the weakest batting abilities among all the Yoshis, but its pitching abilities are slightly better than the others (being tied with the team captain Yoshi's pitching).

''Mario Sports Mix
Blue Yoshi also appears in Mario Sports Mix, as a non-playable character. It appears in the Dodgeball game, where it assists the blue team on the sidelines. Red Yoshi also assists the players, but for the opposing team.

Physical Appearance
In Super Mario World, Blue Yoshi, like the other Yoshis in the game, has dark blue skin, but orange gloves, brown shoes and a brown saddle. In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Blue Yoshi looked about the same as it did in Super Mario World, but with orangish-purple shoes and an reddish-orange saddle. However in the Game Boy Advance port, Blue Yoshi wear pink shoes.

From Yoshi's Story and on, Blue Yoshi appears with magenta shoes and a red saddle. In Yoshi's Island's sequel, Yoshi's Island DS, Blue Yoshi is more purple in color. The same applies for Yoshi Touch & Go.
