Baby Yoshi



Baby Yoshis are newborn Yoshis born from Yoshi Eggs, making their debut appearance in Super Mario World.

''Super Mario World
In Super Mario World, red, yellow, and blue Baby Yoshis are found in Star World, where they hatch from eggs of the same color whenever Mario makes his approach. Feeding the Baby Yoshis five enemies will make them turn into adult Yoshi; however, if a baby Yoshi eats any power-up, it'll grow up instantly. Also, all the eggs Mario rescues from the Koopalings hatch into Baby Yoshis during the ending cutscene. Yoshi himself hatches directly into an adult when Mario uncovers his egg, but this is because Bowser trapped Yoshi in the egg.

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

''Tetris Attack
Baby Yoshis are known as Little Yoshis in Tetris Attack. A Yellow Little Yoshi appears in the game Tetris Attack. He appears to be Yoshi's friend. Also note that his shoes are the same color as Yoshi's. And, unlike their adult counterparts baby Yoshis have beaks.

''Yoshi
Baby Yoshis appear in the game Yoshi and can be seen on the title screen. If the player puts two egg pieces together a Baby Yoshi will appear, but won't give as much points.

''Yoshi's Story
The Yoshis in Yoshi's Story were newborn, however they looked different from Super Mario World's 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.

''Yoshi's Island DS
A Green Baby Yoshi makes an appearance in Yoshi's Island DS. After the six original Star Children are introduced, a Baby Yoshi hatches, becoming the seventh Star Child. This Baby Yoshi is heavily implied to be the Yoshi, Mario's companion.

''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
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.

''Paper Mario
A group of Yoshis children calling themselves the Fearsome 5 were encountered on Lavalava Island in Paper Mario. When they were 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 disappearances. Mario helped Sushie down from the tree that they trapped her in and found all five Baby Yoshis.

''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
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 is born with hair and is immediately able to talk after being born and even has pants. Yoshi is also able to move about in his egg.

Game & Watch series
Baby Yoshis have made frequent appearances in the Game & Watch Gallery series.
