Yoshi's Island (location)

''This article is about the place Yoshi's Island. For other uses, click here.''

Yoshi's Island is where the Yoshis originated. The island is part of a larger land called Dinosaur Land and first appeared in Super Mario World.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
It next appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island when Baby Mario fell down to the island after the Stork carrying the Mario brothers was attacked by Kamek.

Yoshi's Story
In Yoshi's Story, Baby Bowser took over the island in an attempt to capture the Super Happy Tree. Bowser placed a spell over all the Yoshis, but six were unaffected, as they were unhatched and still in their eggs at the time the spell was cast. The six Yoshis must battle their way to Baby Bowser while eating fruit and regain their island by breaking the spell.

Mario Golf 64
Yoshi's Island is also one of the courses in Mario Golf 64.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
During Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Yoob and the Shroobs attacked the island. Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario and Baby Luigi save this island. This game portrays the island with unique enemies such as Pidgits who were only known to exist in Subcon and Coconutters who are a completely new species. There were Yoshi statues around the island, and one of the had a hole where the spring water was coming out. Baby Mario must drink some of this water to get full of water, and then make Baby Luigi hammer him and then Baby Mario will spit the water out. This move is useful to douse bonfires.

Yoshi's Island DS


The island reappeared in Yoshi's Island DS, where many babies ended up here. Yoshi and his pals try to save the babies in this game.

Super Smash Bros. series


Yoshi's Island appears as a stage in Super Smash Bros.. The stage is based on Yoshi's Story. It is consisting of a big platform with the Super Happy Tree in the background, three other smaller floating platforms above, and three clouds at the edges of the stage, which vanish when a character stood on them too long. The stage reappeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Super Smash Bros. Melee also has two other Yoshi's Island stages. One of them, called Yoshi's Story, is an updated version of the stage from Super Smash Bros. It features a small island with three platforms hovering above it. There is a cloud moving below the stage which sometimes serves as a platform for falling characters. A Pak E. Derm can be seen.

The second stage is simply called Yoshi's Island. It is based on Super Mario World. It is in a "valley" which is enclosed by a                                                            slope on the one side and a Warp Pipe on the other. In the middle, there is a hole with Turning Blocks above it. When the Turning Blocks are hit, characters can fall in the hole and get KOed. There are also two groups of turning blocks floating on the stage serving as additional platforms.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl also has a Yoshi's Island stage. It will be based on Yoshi's Island DS rather than on Yoshi's Story.

Itadaki Street DS
Yoshi's Island will be one of the various stages in the upcoming game Itadaki Street DS.

Species
Though Yoshi's Island is mostly filled with Yoshis, many other kinds of species live on the island as well such as Shy Guys, Huffin' Puffins Poochy's species, and a notably high variety of Piranha Plants (the island is possibly their origin home, due to there being a jungle made entirely out of them).
