{{distinguish|Mini Yoshi|Baby Yoshi}}

 

'''Mini-Yoshi''' (known originally as '''Yoshi''' and sometimes called '''Yoshi Kid'''){{ref needed}} is [[Mario]]'s fourth party member in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is a spunky [[Baby Yoshi|Yoshi baby]] and the youngest of Mario's party members (being newborn). His purpose in the overworld is to allow Mario to ride him and move him around much faster and use a [[Flutter Jump]]-like ability to cross gaps.

 

While Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]] and [[Flurrie]] are fighting in [[Glitzville]]'s [[Glitz Pit]], they find that one of the fighting teams, the [[Armored Harriers]], appears to be impervious to any attack they use. At an earlier time, Mario had found a [[Yoshi's Egg]] bouncing around, being chased by the owner of the [[Hot Dog Stand]], [[Mr. Hoggle]] (who had hopes of making a [[Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness]] with it). Mario eventually caught it, and Mr. Hoggle allowed him to keep it as most people "don't like eating stuff that jumps all over the place". After Mario returns from his problematic battle with the Armored Harriers, the egg hatches into a [[Baby Yoshi|newborn Yoshi baby]] who thanks Mario for saving his life. He then joins Mario (who he knows as [[Mario#Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door|Gonzales]]), who proceeds to name him. The Yoshi can defeat the Armored Harriers by [[Gulp|eating them and spitting them at each other]], as the gulp attack ignores enemy defense. He travels with [[Mario]] for the rest of the game.

====In-game bio====

''This newborn Yoshi baby may be small, but he's got quite an attitude. Press {{button|gcn|X}} to hop on his back and move more quickly. Press {{button|gcn|A}} when riding to float through the air.''

 

====Official Nintendo Player's Guide description====

''You'll name the newborn Yoshi yourself when he hatches in Chapter 3, but for the sake of clarity, we'll refer to him by the name of his species. Press X to hop on the little guy's back and he'll move more quickly. While you're riding him, you can press the A Button to float through the air for a brief time.''<ref>[https://archive.org/details/papermariothethousandyeardoorplayersguide_201909/page/n13/mode/2up ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide], pg. 16</ref>

|''In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, this young Yoshi first appears as just an egg. After breaking out of his shell, though, the rascal's cheek and ultra-competitive nature run rampant. He's strong for a little lad and can even carry Mario, who he calls Gonzales. There's a funny reason for that, and it's–oh, we've run out of space. Sorry.''

|SpaM="''-ito''" is a Spanish diminutive suffix. When attached to a name, it denotes affection.

|FraM=''Pti'' is a contraction of "''petit''", which means "small"

*[[Wonky]] in the Italian version of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' refers to Yoshi specifically as a ''Miniyoshi'', further explaining that Miniyoshis are "''Yoshis just hatched from the eggs''". This aligns with the character's Japanese name, which is identical to a [[Baby Yoshi]], along with other localizations and in-game text in the English version referring to him as a "newborn Yoshi baby". The name "Mini-Yoshi" (which is incidentally too large to fit in the original game's text space) was given for his [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.
