Yoshi (species): Difference between revisions

[[File:SM64DS TBS Light Blue Yoshi.png|frame|right]]

Additionally, a Light Blue Yoshi appears in the minigame [[Tox Box Shuffle]], alongside Yoshi himself after enough rounds have passed.

Green Yoshis, along with Yellow, Light Blue, and Pink Yoshis appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they can help the Mario Bros. and the two Toads. Green Yoshis will always appear when playing alone, while the alternate colors only appear in multiplayer, and always depend on the number of players (Yellow for two players, light blue for three players, and pink for four players).

Originally, Red and Blue Yoshis were meant to appear, but they were [[List of New Super Mario Bros. Wii pre-release and unused content|replaced]] by the Pink and Light Blue Yoshis in the final game.

In addition to [[Yoshi]] himself, Red, Yellow and Light Blue Yoshis appear as playable characters in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. All the Yoshis are classified as "Beginner Characters", allowing them to not take damage when touching enemies although they will still lose a life if falling down abysses like bottomless pits or lava. All the Yoshis retain the ability to flutter jump and eat enemies as well. In multiplayer mode, other players can ride the Yoshis if they are chosen as playable characters, even if they are playing as a Yoshi as well.<ref>Nintendo of America (June 21, 2023).

The color of Yoshi used determines their favorite fruits; Green Yoshi favors [[Watermelon|watermelons]], Yellow Yoshi favors [[Banana|bananas]], Red Yoshi and Pink Yoshi favor [[Apple|apples]] and Blue Yoshi and Light Blue Yoshi favor [[grapes]]. Both Black Yoshi and White Yoshi favor all fruits equally (barring the [[Lucky Fruit]] chosen before a playthrough) while all Yoshi colors favor [[Melon|melons]]. Additionally, both Black and White Yoshis have faster horizontal flutter jump movement than the other Yoshis can while they are [[Super Happy]].

Each Yoshi also has a different pitch to their voices; Green and Yellow retain a normal pitch, Red and Pink are slightly higher and White Yoshi has the highest pitch, while Blue and Light Blue are slightly lower, and Black Yoshi has the lowest pitched voice. This is not present in the Japanese version of the game.

In ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', the Yoshis have to transport Baby Mario to the stork after Kamek kidnaps Baby Luigi and causes the bird to drop Baby Mario. The color of the Yoshi varies depending on how many coins the player collects while guiding Baby Mario down to the ground. The amount of eggs a Yoshi can carry varies depending on their color: Green Yoshi has 20 eggs, Light Blue Yoshi has 25 eggs, Pink Yoshi has 30 eggs, Blue Yoshi has 35 eggs, Yellow Yoshi has 40 eggs, Red  Yoshi has 45 eggs, Black, Orange, and Purple Yoshi have 50 eggs, and White Yoshi has unlimited eggs. In marathon, a Yoshi's own color changes after every 1,000 yards.

While Yoshi himself appears as a playable character throughout the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], he also has alternate color schemes to reference other members of his species: Red, Blue, Yellow, Pink, Light-Blue, Purple, and Black. Some stages and events involve fighting multiple Yoshis. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Yoshi only has three alternate colors alongside his default green color scheme: Red, Light Blue, and Yellow. The first six Yoshi colors are used in the computer-controlled Yoshi team battled during the 1-Player mode, and they all become playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and onward. Yoshis also make a small appearance in the opening of ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' during a stampede, and as [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|stickers]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Yoshi gained Purple and Black Yoshi color schemes in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', although ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' replaced his Black Yoshi color scheme with a costume based on the Green Yoshi's appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. Yoshis also appear during Yoshi's [[Final Smash]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', [[Stampede!]], which is based on the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' opening.

In Football, five different-colored Yoshis (red, blue, light blue, yellow, and pink) accompany the playable Green Yoshi as his teammates. Additionally, the Yellow and Light Blue Yoshis operate shops in the ''Road to Rio'' mode, with Yellow Yoshi's shop being used to trade apples for [[Mii]] outfits, and Light Blue Yoshi's shop being used to trade melons with sports gear.

In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Yoshis can be seen as spectators jumping and waving in [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]], [[Mount Wario]], {{classic-link|GBA|Mario Circuit}}, {{classic-link|SNES|Donut Plains 3}}, {{classic-link|N64|Yoshi Valley}}, {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}, [[Excitebike Arena]], {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}, and [[Super Bell Subway]]. In the latter game, they appear in [[Merry Mountain]], as well as the [[Battle Mode|battle]] courses [[Sweet Sweet Kingdom]], {{classic-link|SNES|Battle Course 1}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Wuhu Town}}. Some are seen sitting in their seats. Occasionally, some of these Yoshis will hum [[Kazumi Totaka#Totaka's Song|Totaka's Song]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwyp09J9Z2U]</ref> Additionally, three different-colored Yarn Yoshis (green, pink, and light blue) are seen in the background of {{classic-link|GBA|Ribbon Road}}.

Also, several differently colored Yoshis are playable as variants of Yoshi, namely Light Blue, Black, Red, Yellow, White, Blue, Pink, and Orange Yoshis. In ''Mario Kart 8'', these variants are unlocked when both DLC packs ([[The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] and [[Animal Crossing × Mario Kart 8|''Animal Crossing'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']]) have been purchased, while in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', they are available from the start in the base game. Red Yoshi is the Staff [[Ghost (Mario Kart series)|Ghost]] for <small>GCN</small> Yoshi Circuit and Orange Yoshi is the Staff Ghost for {{classic-link|GBA|Cheese Land}}; additionally, in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', White Yoshi is the 200cc Staff Ghost for [[Shy Guy Falls]], Yellow Yoshi is the 200cc Staff Ghost for {{classic-link|3DS|DK Jungle}}, and Blue Yoshi is the 200cc Staff Ghost for Super Bell Subway.

Five colored Yoshis (Red, Blue, Yellow, Light Blue, and Pink) along with Yoshi himself appear in ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]'' as unlockable characters. Unlike Yoshi himself, however, they do not have Star Skills nor can they be selected as a team captain.
