[[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated in interviews that he wanted Mario to ride an animal companion after the completion of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Technical limitations on the NES kept this from being possible, but with the development of the Super Famicom an animal partner for Mario could be created. The character of Yoshi was specifically created by Shigefumi Hino, a graphics designer. | [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated in interviews that he wanted Mario to ride an animal companion after the completion of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Technical limitations on the NES kept this from being possible, but with the development of the Super Famicom an animal partner for Mario could be created.

Yoshi likely originated from another Nintendo character, Tamagon, the main character from ''[[Wikipedia:Devil World|Devil World]]''. Like Yoshi, Tamagon is a green lizard that hatches from an egg and can eat enemies with his large mouth, and also makes the same noise when he hatches as Yoshi does in ''Super Mario World''. Additionally, according to [[Takashi Tezuka]] in the ''[[Super Mario History 1985-2010]]'' booklet, Yoshi was originally going to be a type of Koopa, and the saddle on his back was supposed to be his shell. | Yoshi likely originated from another Nintendo character, Tamagon, the main character from ''[[Wikipedia:Devil World|Devil World]]''.
