[[Yoshi]] is the star of the entire ''Yoshi'' franchise, thus each game revolves around him and his friends. He is a friendly dinosaur who lives on and protects Yoshi's Island from the evil forces that bring chaos there. Yoshi is notable for carrying the babies on his back, escorting it while on a mission. His powers are fairly widespread in the ''Super Mario'' franchise, but are somewhat limited in the ''Yoshi'' franchise. He can throw [[Yoshi Egg]]s after swallowing enemies, [[flutter]] through the air, and can [[Ground Pound]] various objects. Yoshi goes to far lengths to protect his island and its inhabitants. | [[Yoshi]] is the star of the entire ''Yoshi'' franchise, thus each game revolves around him and his friends.
