Green Yoshi

Green Yoshis are the primary colour morph of the Yoshis. The character Yoshi is a green Yoshi.

''Super Mario World
Yoshis first appeared in Super Mario World. Green Yoshis were the ones typically encountered, although other colours could be found in the Star World.

Green Yoshis receive different powers depending on which colour of Koopa shell they are holding in their mouths:


 * Green Shell – Nothing
 * Red Shell – Fire
 * Blue Shell – Fly
 * Yellow Shell – Heavy
 * Rainbow Shell – Fly, Heavy, and Fire

''Super Mario Sunshine
In Super Mario Sunshine, the Yoshis start out as green but change to a different color once they eat a Fruit upon hatching. They also turn green if they are about to die from not eating another Fruit for a long time or drowning in water. While green, Yoshis spit water instead of juice.

''New Super Mario Bros. Wii
The Green Yoshi appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The different colors have no meaning in this game.

''Super Mario Galaxy 2
The Green Yoshi that appears in most galaxies of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a normal Yoshi without Power-Ups.

''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, one is playable on every World's first level, and King Bowser's Castle in World 6, although in all other worlds, Blue Yoshi is playable on the final level. Green Yoshi is also playable in every Secret and Extra level in the game. This Yoshi seems to be the character Yoshi.

''Yoshi's Story
A young Green Yoshi appeared as one of the playable protagonists in Yoshi's Story. Its favorite fruit is Watermelon.

''Mario Power Tennis
In Mario Power Tennis, Yoshi is playable. Although green is the default color, there is an option to switch colors. Once the player wins the Flower Cup in doubles mode with any character, Yoshi will randomly change his color whenever he performs a Rolling Egg Return.

Appearance
In Super Mario World, Green Yoshi had green skin, but orange gloves, brown shoes and a brown saddle.

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Green Yoshi looked about the same as he did in Super Mario World, but with orange shoes and a red saddle. He also doesn't wear his orange gloves, and instead he had bare green arms. In the Game Boy Advance port, Green Yoshi wore red shoes.

From Yoshi's Story to Super Smash Bros. Melee, Green Yoshi had red shoes and a red saddle. From Super Mario Sunshine, Green Yoshi has orange shoes and red saddle, with the exception of Super Mario 64 DS, where his shoes were brown again.
