Yoshi did not appear until Super Mario World, which was released in 1991. However, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated in interviews that he wanted [[Mario]] to ride an animal companion after the completion of [[Super Mario Bros.]] Apparently, technical restrictions kept Mario from being able to ride an animal. Of course, with the development of the advanced [[Super Famicom]] in 1991, Yoshi could finally be brought to life. The character of Yoshi was specifically created by [[Shigefumi Hino]], a graphics designer. | Yoshi did not appear until Super Mario World, which was released in 1991.

Yoshi likely originated from another Nintendo character, Tamagon. Tamagon was the star of the game Demon World, a game released exclusively in Japan for the [[Famicom in 1984. Like Yoshi, Tamagon was a green lizard that hatched from an egg and could eat enemies with his large mouth. Interestingly, Tamagon makes the exact same noise when he hatches as Yoshi does in Super Mario World. | Yoshi likely originated from another Nintendo character, Tamagon.
