Yellow Yoshi

Yellow Yoshis are one of the color variants of the Yoshi species.

Super Mario World
In Super Mario World Yellow Yoshis have the ability to create sand clouds and fall faster when holding a Koopa Shell, in addition to spitting fireballs or flying if the shell is red or blue respectively. They can be found as Baby Yoshis in Star World 3 and Star World 5.

In the Game Boy Advance remake Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, once a Yellow Yoshi has been found in the Star World, it can be found in a ? Block in place of a Green Yoshi, provided it is Super Mario who hits a block containing a Yoshi Egg.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, there is a single Yellow Yoshi in Yoshi Theater. It is also one of the seven hungry Yoshis within the theater who are hungry, and thus must be fed a Bean Fruit. Once the Yellow Yoshi is fed a Bean Fruit, he creates a Yellow Neon Egg.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
In Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, a Yellow Yoshi is among the initial group of Yoshis hiding from Yoob in Yoshi's Island. After the group is discovered by Mario, Luigi, Baby Mario, and Baby Luigi, all of the Yoshis run away and end up being eaten by Yoob. Later, after the heroes end up eaten by Yoob, they find the Yellow Yoshi, who is now lying on the floor with hunger. There is a nearby piece of fruit that can be given to the Yellow Yoshi, who immediately feels rejuvenated and runs to help the other Yoshis push a Chomp Rock down Yoob's stomach. Later, Yellow Yoshi helps the other Yoshis push the Chomp Rock out of the way of a doorway, and run into it once a path has been cleared. The Yoshis then take refuge in a side room, where the Yellow Yoshi only complains about wanting more food. Once Sunnycide is defeated, all of the Yoshis immediately escape Yoob. The Yellow Yoshi, along with the other Yoshis, briefly believe that Baby Bowser saved them until Toadbert explains the situation to them, who promptly thank the heroes.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
A Yellow Yoshi appears in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam in the Gloomy Woods village. He has found a huge melon the Mario Bros. want to feed a Wiggler blocking their path. When they ask for the melon, the Yoshi challenges the brothers to a race, with the winner getting the melon. During the race, the Yellow Yoshi flutter jumps to cross gaps, along with ground pounding when the Mario Bros. are nearby. When the Mario Bros. win the race, the Yoshi reluctantly gives up the melon.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii


Yellow Yoshis also appear in the Wii game, New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They hatch out of Yellow Yoshi Eggs, but only when two or more players are playing. They are intended to be Luigi's Yoshi, as he is depicted riding a Yellow Yoshi on the game's box art. Yellow Yoshis can only be found, like the other Yoshis, in the levels World 1-3, World 2-5, World 3-2, World 4-5, World 6-4 and World 7-6.

New Super Mario Bros. U
Although fully grown Yellow Yoshis do not appear in New Super Mario Bros. U, as all Yoshis which can be ridden in the game are now green, Glowing Baby Yoshis are introduced instead. Glowing Baby Yoshis are infant Yellow Yoshis with the power to illuminate dark areas and briefly blind nearby Enemies, similar to Bulb Yoshis. Like the other Baby Yoshis, they wear orange shoes instead of the green ones a Yellow Yoshi normally wears.
