Yoshi: Difference between revisions

Yoshi is the only character that doesn't have any "power," according to the instruction booklet for the game; he isn't capable of ground-pounding brick blocks or boos, lifting up objects, or punching/kicking enemies (though he can still jump on them, and he can punch and destroy bricks if he eats a [[Super Mushroom]]). In place of this, Yoshi has the ability to eat certain enemies and either spit them out and defeat them or swallow them and create an egg, which can be used to defeat other enemies. In addition to swallowing enemies, Yoshi can also swallow coins, items, and even Stars to collect them.

Yoshi features average speed and swim, as well as has the highest jump out of the four playable characters, tied with Luigi; while jumping, the player can hold the {{button|ds|A}} to perform a Flutter Jump, giving him a boost while in the air (this does not work while [[Triple Jump|triple jumping]]). Additionally, Yoshi's [[Power Flower (Super Mario 64 DS)|Power Flower]] ability is [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|Fire Power]], which allows him to breathe fire that can melt ice and destroy enemies on contact; he can also breathe a single breath of fire by eating a source of fire and spitting it out. Yoshi's fire breath can also destroy signs. Since Yoshi cannot punch or grab objects, like mentioned above, he cannot defeat bosses that require these moves without wearing a [[cap]]; in some cases, however, they toss objects that Yoshi can eat and use to attack. Additionally, when entering a course, if any of the other characters have been unlocked, Yoshi can enter a level wearing their cap by default by tapping the icon on the touch screen while on the mission select screen.
