Talk:Yoshi (species): Difference between revisions

Well this was originally going to be my vote, but I think I wrote an essay instead. But there are still way more examples of when Yoshi was treated as an individual from his species. For starters, his ''Yoshi's Crafted World'' specifically states "There's Yoshi and there's all the other Yoshis", a clear indication that there is indeed the individual character. Second, Yoshi himself more often than not appears as the ''sole Green Yoshi'' in several games; if you notice in many spin-off games, Yoshi appears playable, then the crowd usually features other Yoshis, ''none of which are green''. In fact, ''Mario Strikers: Battle League'' is the only game to date that I can recall that has Green Yoshis in the crowd as well as the playable Yoshi himself. While it's true that a few games do interchange him with his species (''Mario Power Tennis'', ''Mario Strikers: Battle League'' and the Kangaroo and Gold Egg variants in ''Mario Kart Tour''), there are still many examples of where Yoshi is treated as an individual. Third, ''less information than the Birdo article''? I really don't think that's a fair comparison, considering Birdo in ''Mario Kart Tour'' follows the same naming style as other characterized variants (Birdo (Yellow) as opposed to Yellow Birdo) signifying less of a species and more of the actual character as a different color, whereas Yoshi and Toad both acknowledge color palettes as different from their originals (Red Yoshi as opposed to Yoshi (Red)). Yoshi has had ''way'' more consistent appearances as a standalone character when compared to that of generic enemies such as Koopa Troopa or Shy Guy, who to this day are still not confirmed to be individual characters participating in several ''Mario Kart'' titles, where Yoshi was clearly stated in his ''Mario Party 10'' bio to have attended every party to date. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
