The '''Fearsome 5''' are a group of five differently-colored [[Baby Yoshi|young Yoshis]] that first appear in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They live on [[Lavalava Island]] with their [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] caretakers, and are renowned for their mischief.
 
==History==
===''Paper Mario''===
The Fearsome 5 are very good friends and are constantly found together, save for when they are in the middle of playing hide and seek. They are also very mischievous and rebellious, which causes great dismay and stress for their strict babysitter, [[Sushie]]. The Fearsome 5 are found in the area of [[Yoshi's Village]] nearest to [[Jade Jungle]] and Mt. Lavalava, which contains [[Yoshi's Cabana]] and the local [[Toad House]]. When talked to, each of the Yoshi children mention a mysterious plan they are planning to set in motion soon.
 
After [[Mario]] returns from Mt. Lavalava, he finds Yoshi's Village in chaos, eventually learning that the Fearsome 5 had somehow managed to sneak into Jade Jungle to play hide-and-seek. The [[Village Leader]] persuades Mario and his [[partner]]s to find the Yoshi children before they get hurt. After some searching, the crew eventually finds a treebound Sushie, who had been looking for the wayward children and fell into one of their traps. Upon rescuing her from the tree, she decides to temporarily join the party, and they eventually find the Fearsome 5 scattered within the jungle, saving them from harm. The Fearsome 5 decide it wiser to respect Sushie's wishes and accept their punishment, and travel back home with the group, though they still find the jungle exciting.
 
Later, Mario and [[Parakarry]] can deliver a [[letter]] to the Red Yoshi Kid member of the Fearsome 5 from his pen pal [[Dane T.]], inviting him to [[Toad Town]] for an adventure to [[Boo's Mansion]] with Dane and Mini T., and also includes instructions on how to play a new game. The Red Yoshi Kid has to decline the offer to go to Toad Town, and asks Mario and Parakarry to deliver a letter to them.

As their name would imply, the Fearsome 5 are made up of five Yoshi Kids, each one a different color. The Fearsome 5 are very good friends and are constantly found together, save for when they perform their seemingly common action of playing hide and seek. They are also very mischievous and rebellious, which causes great dismay and stress for their strict babysitter [[Sushie]]. The Fearsome 5 are found in the area of [[Yoshi's Village]] nearest to [[Jade Jungle]] and [[Mt. Lavalava]], sharing their area of residence with [[Yoshi's Cabana]] and the local [[Toad House]]. If talked to initially, they would all reveal vague notions of mysterious plans they were apparently going to put into action shortly afterward. Indeed, if [[Mario]] was to walk to the ledge overlooking Mt. Lavalava's entrance and return, he would find Yoshi's Village in chaos, eventually learning that the Fearsome 5 had somehow managed to sneak into Jade Jungle to play hide and seek. The [[Village Leader]] would then persuade Mario and his [[partner]]s to look for the Yoshi children, a request which Mario complied with. After some searching, the crew eventually found Sushie (who, while looking for the wayward Fearsome 5, had fallen into one of their traps) caught up a tree; after learning that Mario, too, was searching for the Fearsome 5, she decided to temporarily join his party as to double their progress. (Later on in the game, she would make her membership to Mario's party permanent.) The two then continued searching, eventually saving all members of the Fearsome 5 from the various jungle trials they had fallen to. (The only Fearsome 5 members who had not befallen some sort of life-threatening trap were the [[Blue Yoshi|blue]] and [[Purple Yoshi|purple]] ones (having simply gotten lost in the jungle and fallen asleep in a tree, respectively), who even still realized the error of their ways and regretted past decisions.) In the end, each member of the Fearsome 5 decided that it would've been wiser to have respected Sushie's past orders and ended up traveling back home.

The Fearsome 5 also appear in ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' during its adaptation of the ''Paper Mario'' storyline. In volume 26, Mario and his partners first find the Fearsome 5 sleeping. Mario carries one of them and has [[Kooper]] carrying the rest, much to his chagrin. When a group of [[Putrid Piranha]]s and a [[White Magikoopa]] attack Mario, Goombario, and Kooper, the Fearsome 5 awakens and help them by taping the Putrid Piranha's mouths shut while using a [[Thunder Rage]] on the White Magikoopa. Mario and his partners then take the Fearsome 5 home.


Even though all of the five but the purple one were petrified during their experiences in Jade Jungle and initially thankful to Mario for saving them, the Fearsome 5 seemed completely unaffected by their past ventures afterward. They acknowledged their punishment and seemed to have abandoned all plans of returning to the jungle (despite the fact that they did indeed travel back to it during ''Paper Mario''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> ending sequence, as is elaborated on below), but they continued to seem mischievous and even bragged about their adventures, still believing Jade Jungle to be exciting.

Fearsome 5, Paper Mario

The Fearsome 5 are a group of five differently-colored young Yoshis that first appear in Paper Mario. They live on Lavalava Island with their Yoshi caretakers, and are renowned for their mischief.

History

Paper Mario

The Fearsome 5 are very good friends and are constantly found together, save for when they are in the middle of playing hide and seek. They are also very mischievous and rebellious, which causes great dismay and stress for their strict babysitter, Sushie. The Fearsome 5 are found in the area of Yoshi's Village nearest to Jade Jungle and Mt. Lavalava, which contains Yoshi's Cabana and the local Toad House. When talked to, each of the Yoshi children mention a mysterious plan they are planning to set in motion soon.

After Mario returns from Mt. Lavalava, he finds Yoshi's Village in chaos, eventually learning that the Fearsome 5 had somehow managed to sneak into Jade Jungle to play hide-and-seek. The Village Leader persuades Mario and his partners to find the Yoshi children before they get hurt. After some searching, the crew eventually finds a treebound Sushie, who had been looking for the wayward children and fell into one of their traps. Upon rescuing her from the tree, she decides to temporarily join the party, and they eventually find the Fearsome 5 scattered within the jungle, saving them from harm. The Fearsome 5 decide it wiser to respect Sushie's wishes and accept their punishment, and travel back home with the group, though they still find the jungle exciting.

Later, Mario and Parakarry can deliver a letter to the Red Yoshi Kid member of the Fearsome 5 from his pen pal Dane T., inviting him to Toad Town for an adventure to Boo's Mansion with Dane and Mini T., and also includes instructions on how to play a new game. The Red Yoshi Kid has to decline the offer to go to Toad Town, and asks Mario and Parakarry to deliver a letter to them. Additionally, a letter found on Lavalava Island and addressed to Russ T. was apparently written by one of the island's Yoshi Kids, presumably a member of the Fearsome 5.[1] The Fearsome 5 also write to Mario himself at a later point in the game.

During Paper Mario's ending sequence, Sushie is yelling at the Fearsome 5 for getting up to mischief yet again when she receives an invitation to Peach's Castle from Parakarry; the green Yoshi kid of the group is also invited. The Fearsome 5 appears in the ending parade, where they partially devour Huff N. Puff and his Tuff Puffs, shocking them and disappointing a hungry Gourmet Guy, who had seemingly planned to do the same thing.
