Introduction This green dino is Mario´s newest friend, he appears for the first time in Super Mario World. With his long tongue he can eat almost anything, and if he eats the right thing he gets different handy abilities. Eat a blue Koopa shell and Yoshi can fly for a moment and a yellow shell causes Yoshi to cause small earthquakes as he pounds the ground. A red Koopashell made Yoshi breath Fire. The first time Mario and Yoshi met was in Super Mario World 2 when Mario and Bowser were only babies. In this game Yoshi and all his Yoshi friends must defeat Kamek the evil Magikoopa and his troops to free Luigi that Kamek has captured and then to return the Mario Brothers to their parents in the Mushroom Kingdom. Yoshi has also appeared in numorous puzzle-games and has made some cameos in other games too. In Super Mario 64 he appears on the roof of the castle and gives Mario 99 Lives. what a pal! Now Yoshi has got his first own game, Yoshi´s Story for the N64 which takes place before all the other Mario and Yoshi -games on Yoshi Island. In this game Bowser has taken the Yoshi's "Super Happy Tree" which keeps the Yoshi's happy. The Yoshi's must now take the tree back, from Bowser. Here two mysterious Yoshi's appear. One black and one white.. Yoshi appears in both Mario's Party and Mario Golf as a character and In Super Smash Bros he proves to be a worthy oponnent with his long lethal tongue. Differently colored Yoshi's... Super Mario World In SMW there are some small Yoshi babies that you must feed with a couple of enemies before they grow up the a big dino like Yoshi. When they grow up they all receive certain abilities: Red Yoshi No matter what Koopa Troopa shells he eats he always can spit the enemy out in the form of three fireballs! Blue Yoshi He always gets the ability to fly no matter what Koopa Troopa shells he eats. Yellow Yoshi He always gets the ability to produce a deadly cloud of dust as he "stomps" the ground no matter what Koopa Troopa shells he eats! Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island [See bottom for more] In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi Island all the different colored Yoshi's have the same abilities. Yoshi's Story [See bottom for more] In the N64 game Yoshi's Story all the Yoshi's have the the same ability except for the hidden black or white Yoshi's which can eat much more enemies than the other Yoshi's without getting a stomach ache. The fruits that make the Yoshi's happy! These are the fruits that keep the Yoshi's happy.
They grow on the Supper Happy Tree. In Yoshi's Story the Yoshi's could
eat these fruits to "gain happiness". Instead of a life, meter that
game had a flower icon that showed how happy Yoshi was. When Yoshi got
hit by an enemy he lost a little of his happiness, but if he ate a
fruit he regained some of it. The "Heart fruit" makes Yoshi even
happier than the other fruits do. This small tutorial on how to speak the Yoshi
language is scanned from a comic based on Super Mario World.
Consequently this is no official guide to the Yoshi language, but it's
still a whole lot of fun!

Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island [Continued]
Many years would pass before trouble would befall Yoshi's Island again, allowing Yoshi and his friends to finally rest. However, in time, an old nemesis of the Yoshi clan would strike again. Over the years that passed, Baby Bowser had grown up to become the wiser and more powerful King Bowser. After several unsuccessful attempts at capturing the Mushroom Kingdom, Bowser set his sights on Dinosaur Land, the continent where Yoshi's Island is located. During the events of Super Mario World, Bowser launched his assault against Dinosaur Land. To eliminate the threat of Yoshi, Bowser magically encased the green dinosaur and his friends in Yoshi Eggs. Many of these eggs were given to Bowser's own children, the Koopalings, to be watched over. Fortunately, for some reason, Yoshi's egg escaped the confines of one of the Koopalings' castles. Instead, Yoshi's egg prison wound up in the open field of Yoshi's Island. Eventually, Yoshi was freed by none other than Mario and Luigi, now grown up and stronger than ever. Coincidentally, the Mario Bros., along with Princess Peach were vacationing in Dinosaur Land when King Koopa's attack occurred. As Mario and Luigi were taking a nap on the beach, Bowser's forces kidnapped the princess on behalf of their master. The two plumbers searched for Peach for hours, eventually stumbling across Yoshi's egg and freeing their old friend. Once released, Yoshi told the Mario Bros. of Dinosaur Land's plight. Together, all three agreed to rescue the other imprisoned Yoshi's and save Princess Toadstool from the forces of Bowser. Yoshi even gave the Mario Bros. a special item, a Magic Cape, to help them on their quest. Yoshi proved to be an invaluable ally during this adventure, acting as a quick and powerful form of transportation for the heroic Mario Bros. The green dinosaur could use his long tongue to eat almost any type of enemy, including enemies even Mario and Luigi couldn't defeat on their own. If Yoshi was hit by an enemy, he would run away, leaving Mario or Luigi behind. However, the plumbers could simply jump back on their friend's saddle to calm the dinosaur down and continue the adventure. Unfortunately, Yoshi was unable to enter Ghost Houses, Fortresses, the castles of the Koopalings, and, ultimately, the castle of King Bowser. In these locations, the Mario Bros. had to go in alone, but Yoshi would patiently wait outside for the brothers to return. Ultimately, the Mario
Bros. manage to defeat the Koopalings and Bowser, thus rescuing the
seven Yoshi Eggs and Princess Toadstool. Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Yoshi
returned to Yoshi's House to celebrate their victory over the Koopa
Troop. During the celebrations that followed, the seven liberated Yoshi
eggs hatched and became Yoshi Babies. Thanks to the efforts of Mario
and Luigi, with help from their friend Yoshi, peace was restored to not
only Yoshi's Island, but the entire continent of Dinosaur Land.

Mario World 2 - Yoshi's Island [Continued]
Yoshi, like most of his kind,
spent the early part of his life living on Yoshi's Island, the homeland
of the Yoshi's and the entrance to Dinosaur Land. The island was a
relatively peaceful place filled with relaxed and laid-back Yoshi's.
However, this was all to change the day the legendary Mario Bros. were
born, a day that would not only change Yoshi's life, but the entire
course of history.
One morning, during the events of Super Mario World 2:
Yoshi's Island, Yoshi decided to take a stroll through the
jungles of Yoshi's Island. The day started out like any other day until
a strange, white bundle and a map landed on his back. Inside the
bundle, Yoshi discovered a small baby with a red cap called Baby Mario.
Prior to this, Kamek, a powerful Magikoopa, had attempted to capture
both Baby Mario and Baby Luigi as the Stork carried the babies to their
parents in the Mushroom Kingdom. Kamek had divined that the two babies
born that morning would bring ruin to the Koopas. As such, the powerful
sorcerer knew he had to eliminate the babies before they matured.
Regardless of his intent, Kamek's abduction attempt failed as he only
snagged one of the babies [Luigi]. The other, Baby Mario, fell to the
ground and wound up on Yoshi's back. ![]() Yoshi and Baby
Mario
Yoshi decided to take
Baby Mario back to his clan. The arrival of Baby Mario caused a state
of panic to take hold in the normally stress-free Yoshi society. As the
Yoshi's argued and yelled about what to do with the infant, Baby Mario
pointed to the horizon. Eventually, Yoshi recognized that Baby Mario
could detect where his brother was, as their brotherly bond was so
strong, even at such a young age. Yoshi decided that the Yoshi clan
should find Baby Mario's brother and help both of them find their
parents. The other Yoshi's agreed. Taking the initiative, Yoshi said
they should use a relay system between eight Yoshi's to transport Baby
Mario. Each Yoshi would travel some distance, then hand Baby Mario to
the next young dinosaur. Of course, Yoshi took the lead and set out in
the direction Baby Mario was pointing. Yoshi helped Baby Mario through
the preliminary level, then through World 1-1. Unfortunately, the task
would not be easy, as Kamek's forces had invaded the island and were
searching for Baby Mario.
To battle against the agents of Kamek, Yoshi used his amazing
egg-making abilities to transform enemies and other objects into Yoshi
Eggs. Yoshi used these eggs as projectile weapons against enemies,
fending off the forces of Kamek. The green dinosaur also used a variety
of Morph Bubbles to transform himself into various vehicles to better
avoid or battle agents of the Koopa Troop. With these abilities, Yoshi
managed to help Baby Mario through the dangers of the first level of
each of the six worlds, allowing the green dinosaur to pass the infant
to Pink Yoshi after each completed level.
Besides
bringing Baby Mario through the first level of each world, Yoshi also
braved the dangers and traps of all the secret worlds discovered along
the way. In fact, as a testament to his commitment and courage, Yoshi
even braved the final challenge that awaited the Yoshi's. After
fighting through six worlds, the Yoshi's finally reached Bowser's
Castle, the site of an imprisoned Baby Luigi. Taking Blue Yoshi's
place, Yoshi fought past powerful enemies and avoided the traps of the
dangerous Koopa fortress. Yoshi even dodged a series of magical attacks
by the sorcerer Kamek himself, allowing the green dinosaur to enter
Baby Bowser's bedroom in search of Baby Luigi. In the bedroom, Yoshi
confronted the young Koopa King and bested him in combat.
Unfortunately, Kamek used his magic to transform the relatively small
Baby Bowser into a gigantic, hulking monstrosity. Fortunately, Yoshi
managed to fight off the giant menace, causing both Kamek and Baby
Bowser to retreat. Ultimately, in the rubble of the castle, Yoshi
discovered Baby Luigi and the Stork originally charged with delivering
the babies. After untying the Stork, Yoshi said his goodbyes to the
babies and allowed to bird to continue on his journey. In the end, Baby
Mario and Baby Luigi returned home safe.

Island DS [Super Mario World 3]
However, the peace would not last long. Kamek and Bowser suddenly interrupted the peace of the Mushroom Kingdom by stealing all of the babies they could find, hoping to get all of the Star Children in Yoshi's Island DS (the Star Children were Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Donkey Kong, Baby Wario, Baby Bowser, and Baby Yoshi; all but the last of these seven were captured by Bowser's forces). These seven children had special energy in their bodies that, if in his possession, would allow Bowser to take over the world. Toadies had kidnapped babies from across the Mushroom World, in hopes of finding the seven Star Children.

adventure.
Upon reaching Bowser's Castle, Baby Bowser found no reason to further accompany Yoshi, so he immediately abandoned the group. Yoshi refused to continue without him, however, and so Baby Bowser began battling him. Yoshi quickly took the tyrannical toddler out, only for an enraged Bowser to emerge and engage in battle with Yoshi right after the young Bowser's defeat. After Yoshi managed to defeat the future Bowser, Kamek finally cut in and enlarged Bowser to an enormous size. Four Yoshi's teamed up to defeat the gigantic carnation of Bowser, and he was finally defeated for good. After the defeat of both versions of Bowser, Kamek and the Toadies quickly fled from the destroyed castle. The Yoshi's rescued Baby Luigi, as well as the other kidnapped babies. But soon, the Yoshi's realized that they only had six babies, when there were seven Star Children. However, a Yoshi is born at the end of the game, a Baby Yoshi is born, and is the final Star Child. It is likely that this Yoshi is the current Yoshi. But, because it is thought that the Green Yoshi in this game is also "the" Yoshi, the Baby Yoshi may have been born before Yoshi's Island DS, and the birth was not shown until the game's ending.

Of
course, Baby Bowser was not happy with such a loss. As such, the young
Koopa king initiated an act of revenge during the events of Yoshi's
Story. Baby Bowser and his forces returned to Yoshi's Island
and stole the Super Happy Tree, the source of the island's happiness.
The young Koopa then cast a spell on the island, transforming the
vacation paradise into a storybook. Lastly, the Yoshi denizens were
cursed. This last spell incapacitated the Yoshi's, making them unable
to do anything to stop Baby Bowser's attack.
Fortunately, Baby Bowser's spell did not affect every Yoshi. Six baby Yoshi's were still in their eggs when the spell was cast, allowing them to avoid the curse. When they hatched, the six newborns sensed that the island was in disarray. Taking the lead, a new Green Yoshi decided the babies must find the Super Happy Tree to refill the island with happiness. The five other baby Yoshi's agreed and together they set out to find the tree and restore peace to the island. The Yoshi's traveled across the island, eating fruits to boost their own happiness levels. Green Yoshi personally enjoyed watermelons the most. As their collective happiness increased, more and more worlds became available to the Yoshi's. Eventually, Green Yoshi and his companions reached Baby Bowser's Castle. Together they confronted the young king, and ultimately defeated Baby Bowser in combat. The Yoshi's reclaimed the Super Happy Tree and restored the island to its natural, peaceful, and joyful state.

Film and TV
Television
Yoshi was a regular character in the Super Mario World animated series.
In the cartoon, Yoshi was depicted as being very young and childish. As
such, he was afraid of many things, including ghosts and even water.
Regardless, Yoshi regularly teamed up with Mario and Luigi to help save
Princess Toadstool from the clutches of King Koopa. Of course, Yoshi
used his long tongue to get the heroes out of many sticky situations.
He spoke in the third-person, saying things like "Yoshi scared", and
replacing "I" with "Yoshi".
![]() Yoshi, as seen in
the Super Mario World episode "Gopher Bash"
Film
Yoshi's only film appearance was in
the Super
Mario Bros. movie. In this depiction, Yoshi
resembled an actual dinosaur, although this Yoshi had brown skin
(instead of green). Yoshi acted more like a pet than as a heroic
partner in the film. However, Yoshi still possessed some of his
trademark traits from the games, including a long sticky tongue,
courageousness, and friendliness. In the movie, Yoshi was downsized
from his video game version, making him impossible to ride [in fact,
Mario would probably crush Yoshi if he attempted to jump on top of him].
