The '''Yoshi Kid''' is [[Mario]]'s fourth party member in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He's a spunky little kid and the youngest of Mario's party Members (being new-born). His purpose in the over-world is to allow Mario to carry him and move him around much faster (like [[Lakilester]] in ''[[Paper Mario]]''.)

'''Mini-Yoshi''' (also known as '''Yoshi''') 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 to travel around much faster and use a [[Flutter Jump]]-like ability to cross gaps.
==History==
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Mario and Yoshi Kid.png|200px|left|thumb|Yoshi hatching out of his egg.]]
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. [[Goombella]] can use [[Tattle]] on Yoshi's egg only after Mario glides down to the roof of the Hot Dog Stand where the egg sits but before Mario interacts with the egg.


While Mario, [[Goombella]], [[Koops]] and [[Flurrie]] are fighting in [[Glitzville]]'s [[Glitz Pit]], they find a problem - One of the fighter teams, the [[Armored Harriers]] seem to be invincible to any attack they use. When Mario goes outside, he finds a [[Yoshi Egg]] bouncing around, being chased by the owner of the [[Hot Dog Stand]]. Mario catches it. The owner says he was going to use it to make hot dogs, but he lets Mario have it. After a while, it hatches into a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] kid who thanks Mario. He then joins Mario (who proceeds to name him). The Yoshi Kid can defeat the Armored Harriers by eating them and spitting them at each other.
At the end of the adventure, he goes solo at the Glitz Pit, going under the name "'''The Great Gonzales Jr.'''", and is stated to be getting close to the title match. In [[Goombella]]'s letter, the Yoshi challenges the "Great Gonzales" by saying "I could totally take you in the ring now, so bring it!" He is notable for calling Mario "Gonzales" throughout the entire course of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' (in a manner similar to other non-player characters such as [[Goldbob]] and his family); his odd familiarity with this name is due to Mario's pseudonym, "Great Gonzales" (upon [[Grubba]] and [[Jolene]]'s insistence) while fighting in the Glitz Pit. By the end of the game, though, the Yoshi would appear to have slowly realized that "Gonzales's" real name was Mario, but he states that Mario will always be Gonzales to him.


At the end of the adventure, he goes solo at the Glitz Pit, going under the name "The Great Gonzales Jr.", and is getting close to the title match.
====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[File:SPM Francis 2nd Room.png|thumb|left|The Mini-Yoshis' plushies from ''Super Paper Mario]]''
In ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', Yoshi appears as a [[Catch Card]] won by winning the [[Duel of 100]] in the [[Sammer's Kingdom]]. [[Francis]] has a collection of seven Yoshi dolls, each one a different color. Lastly, Yoshi, along with all the other [[partners]] from the previous ''Paper Mario'' titles appear in a photograph at the [[Mario Bros.' House]] during the introduction.
{{br|left}}


As the Yoshi Kid's foster parent (of sorts), Mario names him when the Yoshi is born. This means the Yoshi Kid is the first character in the Mario RPG sub-series that could be named by the player. In the Mario series as a whole, there have been many nameable characters, starting with the main character from ''[[Mario Golf#Mario Golf (GBC)|Mario Golf]]''.  
=== ''Super Smash Bros.'' series ===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', there is a [[sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]], which names him "Yoshi," while in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', there is a [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] of Mini-Yoshi, and this is the first game to give him this name.


[[Image:Yoshi_kids.PNG|center]]
==General information==
The color of the Yoshi Kid is determined by how long it took Mario to befriend the Yoshi after Mario finds its egg on top of the Hot Dog Stand. The egg starts off with a green Yoshi Kid inside, and changes color every few minutes, as shown on the chart below. If more than twenty minutes elapse before the Yoshi Kid hatches, the cycle restarts.
===Physical appearance===
[[File:Yoshi Kids.png|center]]
Yoshi's coloration is determined by the amount of time that passes between the point where his egg joins Mario's party atop the Hot Dog Stand to when Mario eventually meets the newborn after [[flee]]ing from or losing to the Armored Harriers. Initially, Yoshi is green, has a red mohawk, and wears orange pants with white polka dots (giving it a [[Yoshi's Egg]]-like pattern) and a pair of his species' signature boots. While in his egg, however, Yoshi's color scheme changes every few minutes, as shown in the chart below. If more than twenty minutes pass before Yoshi hatches, the cycle restarts. Each coloration is for aesthetic purposes only, and will stay the same for the rest of the game upon Yoshi's hatching.

Or, if the player enters a color for their name at the title screen, the Yoshi Kid will appear that color.

*As stated above, Yoshi's Glitz Pit origins resulted in him calling [[Mario]] by the name "Gonzales" throughout the whole course of ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', except for six times. Although the use of "Mario" in the ending was deliberate and even played somewhat of a role in Yoshi's character development, the other listings were likely a mistake on the developers' part. These are the following times Yoshi calls Mario by his actual name:
**At the ending of the game.
**In [[Grubba]]'s office when reading his secret paper about the machine under the ring.
**At [[Twilight Town]] when the [[Creepy Steeple|steeple]] bell rings, changing [[Mayor Dour]] into a [[pig]].
**At [[Keelhaul Key]] after [[Frankie]] says "I love you" 100 times.
**At the very end of Chapter 5 when the [[Pianta]]s say they're staying on Keelhaul Key.
**If Mario brings him along to the top of [[Riddle Tower]] for the first time.
*Yoshi is one of two [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] that can be seen outside battle in ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''; the other one is seen on the [[Excess Express]], as an adult.
*During the 2nd fight with [[Doopliss]], after defeating [[Goombella]], [[Koops]], and [[Flurrie]], Yoshi will appear, but, no matter what his nickname is, his enemy name is always "[[Yoshi]]".
*[[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]]''.
**Additionally, the Player's Guide for the game first refers to the character as "a Mini-Yoshi."
