A Green Yoshi.

Green Yoshis are the primary skin color for the Yoshis. In Super Mario World, they have all the powers from eating Koopa shells. If they eat a blue Koopa shell they get wings, if they eat a red shell they can spit Fireballs, and if they eat a yellow shell they become very heavy. Although they can gain shell powers, they cannot get extra powers.

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, they play every world's 1st level, and Bowser's Castle in world 6.

In Super Mario Sunshine, the Yoshis start out as green but change to a different color once they eat a Fruit. They also turn green if they are about to die from not eating another Fruit for a long time or going into the water.

In Mario Power Tennis, a Green Yoshi is playable. Although green is the default color, there is an option to switch colors. Once the player wins the Flower Cup in doubles mode with any character, Yoshi will change his color whenever he performs a Rolling Egg Return.

Appearance

In Super Mario World, Green Yoshi had green skin, but orange gloves, brown shoes and a brown saddle.

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Green Yoshi looked about the same as he did in Super Mario World, but with orange shoes and an orange saddle. He also doesn't wear his orange gloves, and instead he had bare green arms. However in the Game Boy Advance port, Green Yoshi wore red shoes and no gloves.

From Yoshi's Story on, Green Yoshi had red shoes and a red saddle, with the exception of Super Mario 64 DS, where they were orange again.
