Talk:Yoshi (species)

Knife, Yoshis do change color in Super Mario Sunshine. Haven't you completely played the game? 21:02, 13 December 2006 (EST)

I have and SoS states that only the main Yoshi has appeared in it. See the main Yoshi's talk page.

I personally think the Yoshis on sunshine are a sub spiecies of Yoshis who change color as they eat.

Colors
Shouldnt ALL those different color Yoshi's be merged with this? - Ultimatetoad

Ummm....hello? - Ultimatetoad

I agree. There can be a section about the colors of Yoshis, similar to Toads. I don't see many distinctive properties about the Yoshi colors and they should be merged into this article. 20:34, 28 February 2007 (EST)


 * I agree as well. Per Knife. -- 21:46, 28 February 2007 (EST)
 * I disagree because they are a sub-species. 15:03, 26 July 2007 (EDT)

Excess Express.
I've played the game, but I don't remember being any Yoshis (other than your partner of course). --Bentendo 16:50, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

neither do I,

He's on the train, shows up randomly and says he hopes he isn't late getting home or his wife will kill him or something. -- Sir Grodus


 * He also talks about his love of curry, and his preference of it over meat... (Sometimes.) --YellowYoshi398 16:54, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

hmm.... I never seen one on there... I'll take your word for it,


 * Really? I don't remember that! Happily I'm almost there on my second play through (about to defeat cortez). Could you explain where he is? --Bentendo 11:49, 14 March 2007 (EDT)

I can't really remember, I think near the dining cart or in it, but only occasionally; I think he might be green or orange or something. -- Sir Grodus

He isn't there the first time you play through.

The Yoshi is in the dining car, standing next to the door that leads to the cabins 003-005. He's green, though. He isn't there the first time you play, through, but every time you ride the Excess Express again, he shows up randomly. He's also the only Yoshi in the game besides the Yoshi Kid. Maybe the developers thought having a Yoshi in your party would make up for that, so they didn't include that many. That Yoshi has a saddle, too... --Jolene

I can verify Jolene's statement, if you haven't been convinced already. It's a very well hidden Easter Egg. Thanks for describing it for me, Jolene! 15:53, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Plural
Is the plural form of the species name Yoshis or Yoshies? It's actually used both ways depending on which game you play, I've heard. I just need to know which one was used more recently then. Maybe in Yoshi's Island DS? 16:02, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Theoretically etymologically, it should be Yoshi, but mistakes like this happen all the time, or it could be an exception.

Hmm... I remember there was a web site that talked about this. 17:03, 19 June 2007 (EDT)

Canonical spelling is Yoshis. 22:23, 14 July 2007 (EDT)
 * No. Canonical spelling is both Yoshis and Yoshies. It's explained in the article.

The plural for Yoshi has often come up in debates. Some argue that "Yoshis" is the proper term, while others argue that "Yoshies" is correct. Japanese plurals have no indicative marks, meaning that "Yoshi" is another (unlikely) possibility. Nintendo of America has used both "Yoshies" and "Yoshis" in the Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance versions of Yoshi's Island, respectively. It could be that both versions are valid.
 * To have it said, I somehow dislike the concept of "canon". - 15:24, 26 July 2007 (EDT)

Yoob
is he realy a Yoshi? I thought he was a robot...


 * He does seem robotic, but he's probably still worthy of mention as he's clearly based on the Yoshis. I agree with you in that I don't think he should be listed under Notable Yoshis, though.

Yoshi (isle delfino)?
Either we should make another section, or make a new article! The Yoshis on Isle Delfino CAN'T be the Yoshis we know! That might have to change this Yoshi article to Yoshi (yoshi's island) or something. Tell me no or yes. It's facts! I mean, does Yoshi have cancer all the time? No! New article, or new section?


 * New section would probably be best, or just put Isle Delfino info in the appropriate sections in this article. Just because the game mechanics are different doesn't mean these are a different species of Yoshi.  They are all the same Yoshis - gameplay is different between all games.  And I don't think any character has ever had cancer in the Mario games. -- Son of Suns

Let's just do another section. I'm just saying, those can't be Yoshi's Island Yoshis! And I was only kidding about cancer, because ya know how they're about to do die if they're green. Minimariolover10

Gold Yoshi
Why isn't there a gold yoshi article cos he appeared as an unlockobable character in yoshi's story Super   Yoshi10 | Lookey This
 * There was White and Black Yoshi... do you have video footage or anything that we could use as proof? 00:01, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Mario Super Sluggers
Why is there no info about Mario Super Sluggers in this article? Strange...
 * Everything where there's a single character called "Yoshi" on the selection screen is placed in the Yoshi article. 00:02, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
