'''Black Yoshis''' are [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] variants that first appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They can first be found in secret areas of World 2. Along with [[White Yoshi|white Yoshis]], they have certain abilities that give them advantages over the other Yoshis.

They can be found in large, hidden eggs on pages 2-1 or 2-4. Black Yoshis and white Yoshis are the only Yoshis in ''Yoshi's Story'' that enjoy all the fruit, even the red [[Pepper]]s. In addition, black Yoshis can eat other things that the rest can't, such as [[Black Shy Guy]]s. Another special power he possess in ''Yoshi's Story'' is that whenever the [[Smile Meter]] is full, his eggs explode in gigantic explosions, destroying more than one enemy at a time. Additionally, whenever a black Yoshi is a [[Super Happy Yoshi]], his mobility while using the [[Flutter Jump]] is increased drastically until the invincibility wears off. Black Yoshi has the lowest voice of any Yoshi in the game. If the player loses a black Yoshi, the [[White Shy Guy|white Shy Guy]] cannot retrieve him unless the game has been beaten at least once with a black Yoshi in the party.  

If one of the [[Blurp]]s in [[Jungle Puddle]] eats a black Yoshi, they will display an upset emotion bubble, suggesting that one of the "extra powers" black Yoshis have is to taste bad to enemies.  

In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'''s third chapter, black is one of the possible colors the player's [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Yoshi Kid]] can come out as. The black Yoshi kid has red hair and gray pants.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', a black Yoshi appears once, during the battle with [[Sunnycide]] (This black Yoshi was not present in all but the U.S. versions of the game, with a [[Yellow Yoshi|yellow Yoshi]] taking his place<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/mlpit_j2e.shtml#sunnycide The Mushroom Kingdom - ''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time'': From Japanese to English] (Accessed on 2-14-09)</ref>). Like the other Yoshis, he can be freed from his egg, where he'll run to push a rock. He is the second to hatch when opening the [[Yoob]] egg.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', A black Yoshi appears as an alternate skin for [[Yoshi]]. It is available though buying both the ''[[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8]]'' DLC packs.

A black Yoshi is included as a new color change for Yoshi in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. This is the first game in which Black Yoshi is playable from the start.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', A black Yoshi debuts with black skin and white shoes with a red saddle. However, in its limited appearance in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the shoes were gray instead of white.
