'''Mini-Yoshi''' (known originally as '''Yoshi''', sometimes called '''Yoshi Kid'''{{ref needed}}) is [[Mario]]'s fourth party member in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is a spunky juvenile [[Baby Yoshi|Yoshi]] and the youngest of Mario's party members (being newborn). His purpose in the overworld is to allow Mario to ride him and move him around much faster and use a [[Flutter Jump]]-like ability to cross gaps. In battle, he starts out with [[Ground Pound]] and [[Gulp]]. If he is powered up, he learns [[Mini-Egg]] for Level 2 and learns [[Stampede (move)|Stampede]] for Level 3.

==History==

===''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''===

[[File:Mario and Yoshi Kid - Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door.png|200px|left|thumb|Yoshi hatching out of his egg.]]

While Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]] and [[Flurrie]] are fighting in [[Glitzville]]'s [[Glitz Pit]], they find that one of the fighting teams, the [[Armored Harriers]], seem to be impervious to any attack they use. At an earlier time, Mario had found a [[Yoshi Egg]] bouncing around, being chased by the owner of the [[Hot Dog Stand]], [[Mr. Hoggle]] (who had hopes of making a [[Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness]] with it). Mario eventually caught it, and Mr. Hoggle allowed him to keep it as most people "don't like to eat things that move". After Mario returns from his problematic battle with the Armored Harriers, the egg hatches into a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] kid who thanks Mario. He then joins Mario (who he knows as [[Mario#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Gonzales]]), who proceeds to name him. The Yoshi can defeat the Armored Harriers by [[Gulp|eating them and spitting them at each other]]. He travels with [[Mario]] for the rest of the game.

At the end of the adventure, he goes solo at the Glitz Pit, going under the name "'''The Great Gonzales Jr.'''", and is stated to be getting close to the title match. In [[Goombella]]'s letter, the Yoshi challenges the "Great Gonzales" by saying "I could totally take you in the ring now, so bring it!". He is notable for calling Mario "Gonzales" throughout the entire course of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' (in a manner similar to other non-player characters such as [[Goldbob]] and his family); his odd familiarity with this name is due to Mario's pseudonym, "Great Gonzales" (upon [[Grubba]] and [[Jolene]]'s insistence) while fighting in the Glitz Pit. By the end of the game, though, the Yoshi would appear to have slowly realized that "Gonzales's" real name was Mario, but he states that Mario will always be Gonzales to him.

''"Gosh, what a colorful egg! Must be a good one, huh? I mean, look at it jump! But jeepers creepers, I sure wouldn't want to try to eat it... I mean, EWWWWWW! I don't eat moving things. Let's hurry up, grab it, and give it back to Mr. Hoggle."''

|align=left|''In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this young Yoshi first appears as just an egg. After breaking out of his shell, though, the rascal's cheek and ultra-competitive nature run rampant. He's strong for a little lad and can even carry Mario, who he calls Gonzales. There's a funny reason for that, and it's–oh, we've run out of space. Sorry.''

*As stated above, Mini-Yoshi's Glitz Pit origins resulted in him calling [[Mario]] by the name "Gonzales" throughout the whole course of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', except for six times. Although the use of "Mario" in the ending was deliberate and even played somewhat of a role in Mini-Yoshi's character development, the other listings were likely a mistake on the developers' part. These are the following times Mini-Yoshi calls Mario by his actual name:  

**At the ending of the game

**In [[Grubba]]'s office when reading his secret paper about the machine under the ring

**At [[Twilight Town]] when the [[Creepy Steeple|steeple]] bell rings, changing [[Mayor Dour]] into a [[pig]]

**At [[Keelhaul Key]] after [[Frankie]] says "I love you" 100 times

**At the very end of Chapter 5 when the [[Pianta]]s say they're staying on Keelhaul Key

*Mini-Yoshi is one of two [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] that can be seen outside battle in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''; the other one is seen on the [[Excess Express]], as an adult.

*During the 2nd fight with [[Doopliss]], after defeating [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], and [[Flurrie]], Mini-Yoshi will appear, but, no matter what his nickname is, his enemy name is always "[[Yoshi]]".

*The Italian version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' refers to him specifically as a ''Miniyoshi''<ref>{{media link|WYPMTTYD_IT_5.png|Fifth part of Wonky's tale about Miniyoshis in the Italian version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''}}.</ref>, further explaining that Miniyoshis are ''Yoshis just hatched from the eggs''<ref>{{media link|WYPMTTYD_IT_2.png|Second part of Wonky's tale about Miniyoshis in the Italian version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''}}.</ref>
