They later starred in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. The most well-known Yoshi is simply named [[Yoshi]] and is an ally of [[Mario]], often aiding Mario or being a protagonist of his own adventures. | ||

In some games, such as the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Yoshi can hide in an egg for defense (instead of using a shield as with most fighters) and rolls in an egg for an attack. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, although green is seen in most games. Yoshis are most closely associated with [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]; however, they are a widespread species, found on a number of islands, such as [[Lavalava Island]] and [[Isle Delfino]], as well as the continental [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the neighboring [[Beanbean Kingdom]]. | ||

In ''Super Mario World'', when [[Bowser]] invaded Dinosaur Land, he and the [[Koopalings]] kidnapped a number of Yoshis who then had to be rescued by Mario and [[Luigi]]. This is also how the brothers meet Yoshi, whom they befriend very early in the game. | |||
In addition to Yoshi, Red, Yellow, and Blue Yoshis can be found in [[Star World]]. Eating Koopa shells gives Yoshis different abilities: after eating a [[Red Shell]], the Yoshi would spit out a [[fireball]], while [[Yellow Shell]]s would make it heavy enough to create [[sand cloud]]s each time it lands a jump, and [[Blue Shell]]s cause the Yoshi to grow wings and fly. When they hold any shell in their mouths, Red, Yellow and Blue Yoshis always experience the effects of Red, Yellow and Blue Shells respectively, in addition to that shell's specific effect if it is of a different color than the Yoshi. [[Shell (flashing)|Flashing Shell]]s grant all three special effects, while Green Shells yield no extra abilities, and can merely be spat out as a ricocheting projectile. If the Yoshi holds the shell in its mouth for too long, it swallows it. Yoshis can also eat other enemies as well as [[Fruit (Yoshi food)|berries]] that grow on bushes in certain areas; eating ten red berries causes the Yoshi to lay an egg that hatches into a [[Super Mushroom]]. Two pink berries will release a [[Yoshi Cloud]] while green berries extend the [[Time Limit]]. | In addition to Yoshi, Red, Yellow, and Blue Yoshis can be found in [[Star World]].
