Orange Yoshi

Orange Yoshis are a color variant of Yoshi, first appearing in in the Game & Watch Gallery 3, and made their second. Their first appearance in a Super Mario title as a playable character is in Super Mario Sunshine.

Game & Watch Gallery 3
An Orange Yoshi appeared as a playable character in the modern version of Greenhouse. In this game, they had to defend the plants from the incoming Fly Guys and the Ukikis.

Super Mario Sunshine
Mario can ride Orange Yoshis in Super Mario Sunshine. In this game, all Yoshis are green and become a different color only after eating fruits. If Yoshi eats a Pineapple or a Papaya, he turns orange. While he is orange, Yoshi's juice turns enemies into platforms that remain stationary.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Orange Yoshi is seen in the Yoshi Theater as one of the main NPC. During this game when feeding him a Bean Fruit he lays a orange Neon Egg.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
One of the colors that the baby Yoshi can hatch as is orange with blue hair and green pants.

Yoshi Touch and Go
In Yoshi Touch & Go, an Orange Yoshi will appear if the current Yoshi reaches 10,000 yards in Marathon mode. It can hold up to 50 eggs.

Yoshi's Island DS
An Orange Yoshi later reappears in Yoshi's Island DS, and is only playable on the sixth level of each world, replacing the Brown Yoshi from the original game.

Yoshi's New Island
Orange Yoshi reappear in Yoshi's New Island. Like in the DS game, he is only playable on the sixth level of each world.

Mario Kart 8
In Mario Kart 8, Orange Yoshi appears as an alternate skin for Yoshi. It is available though pre-ordering the Legend of Zelda and Animal Crossing DLC packs and is the staff ghost for GBA Cheese Land.

Physical appearance
In Super Mario Sunshine, Orange Yoshi has orange skin and shoes with a red saddle. In later appearances, Orange Yoshi wears blue shoes.

Orange Yoshi should not be confused with Brown Yoshi, who appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and the Game Boy Advance port on every sixth level.

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, if Yoshi eats a Dash Pepper, he changes his color to a bright red color that looks nearly identical to an Orange Yoshi.
