'''Yoshis''' (referred to as '''Yoshisaurs''' in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' cartoon]], and alternatively pluralized as "'''Yoshies'''" in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'') are a sapient species of omnivorous [[dinosaur]]s that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. They later starred in [[Yoshi (franchise)|their own series of games]]. 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.

They later starred in [[Yoshi (franchise)|their own series of games]]. The most well-known Yoshi is green, simply named [[Yoshi]], and an ally of [[Mario]], often aiding Mario or being a protagonist of his own adventures.


Yoshis are known for their long tongues, which they use to grab and eat [[fruit]]s or enemies. They can lay [[Yoshi's Egg|eggs]] on their own, sometimes as a result of swallowing an enemy or eating enough food, and they can [[Egg Throw|throw said eggs]] as an attack. Other eggs hatch into items, and some eggs hatch into [[Baby Yoshi]]s. In some games, such as the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Yoshis can hide in eggs for defense (instead of using shields as with most fighters) and [[Egg Roll (move)|roll into eggs]] for an attack. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, such as red, blue, yellow, etc., although green is the most common color. Yoshis also mostly live on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]]; however, they are a widespread species and can live on a number of other islands, such as [[Lavalava Island]] and [[Isle Delfino]], as well as the continental [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and the neighboring [[Beanbean Kingdom]].

While Yoshi himself is playable in the main story for ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', up to three additional Yoshis are playable in the game's [[Super Mario 64 DS#VS Mode|multiplayer mode]]. The first player (the host) plays as Yoshi, the second player plays as a Red Yoshi, the third player plays as a Blue Yoshi, and the fourth player plays as a Yellow Yoshi. Each Yoshi has the same abilities and can pick up caps of [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Wario]] to use the abilities of those characters. It is also possible for a Yoshi to eat another Yoshi and spit them out, but the same cannot be done on a Yoshi with a cap. When a Yoshi gets wings, it grows wings out of its body, like in ''Super Mario World''.

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).

Yoshis can [[Flutter Jump]] and stomp enemies that Mario and the others cannot normally defeat with jumps. Like in ''Super Mario World'', their main ability is eating enemies and fruits, but they cannot swallow shelled enemies, and the shells do not give Yoshis any special abilities. Instead, swallowing a [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]] gives a Yoshi the ability to spit a fireball, they can also spit fireballs from a Venus Fire Trap or a player, iceballs thrown by an [[Ice Bro]], and hammers thrown by a [[Hammer Bro]]. Eating five fruits and leaf-covered [[Pokey]]s causes Yoshis to lay eggs that hatch into power-ups for the players to collect. When hurt, the Yoshi drops off its rider and runs around in panic until someone jumps back on its saddle. Unlike in ''Super Mario World'', Yoshis cannot be taken out of the levels in which they are found.

According to unused in-game data, Yoshis cannot be used while underwater, as the player automatically dismounts them if they fall into the water. Yoshis also cannot make [[Jumbo Ray]]s chirp, cannot sink floating [[barrel]]s, do not have proper animations for entering horizontal [[Warp Pipe]]s, cannot hit [[Flying ? Block]]s for items, and cannot use [[Bouncy Cloud]]s properly; most of these issues are resolved with the Green Yoshis in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''.

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).

As in ''Super Mario World'' and the ''Super Mario Maker'' series, eating a fire- or bone-based enemy make Yoshis spit out three fireballs or bones, respectively, while they can also spit out watermelon seeds by eating the newly-introduced [[Melon Piranha Plant]]s, akin to the mechanic of [[watermelon]]s in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.

More and more worlds become available to the Yoshis as their happiness levels increase by eating fruit. Later on, the Baby Yoshis reach Baby Bowser's Castle where they defeat Baby Bowser and reclaim the Super Happy Tree.

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]].

The Black Yoshi is unlocked after the player finds a black-spotted [[Giant Egg]] in the [[Bone Dragon Pit]] or [[Torrential Maze]], while the White Yoshi is unlocked after finding a white-spotted Giant Egg in [[The Tall Tower]] or [[Poochy & Nippy]].

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 addition, many Yoshi-themed ''Mario Kart'' racecourses have appeared: ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' has [[N64 Yoshi Valley|Yoshi Valley]], ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' has [[Yoshi Desert]], ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' has [[GCN Yoshi Circuit|Yoshi Circuit]], ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' has [[DS Yoshi Falls|Yoshi Falls]] and reuses the GameCube course Yoshi Circuit, ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'' has a [[Yoshi Park 1|two]]-[[Yoshi Park 2|course]] Yoshi stage, and while it does not introduce a new course, ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' reuses Yoshi Falls from the DS title. Yoshis also spectate a few courses in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Yoshi Valley from ''Mario Kart 64'' and Yoshi Circuit from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' also reappear as retro courses in these two games. A track based on [[Yoshi's Island (location)|Yoshi's Island]] appears in both the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Booster Course Pass'' DLC and ''Mario Kart Tour'' under the [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|same name]], as well as Yoshi Circuit from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', Yoshi Valley from ''Mario Kart 64'' and Yoshi Desert from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' all returning as classic courses.

Although Yoshis do not appear in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]'', a stone statue of one appears in Chapter 5: [[Land of the Cragnons]]. There is also a [[Sammer Guy]] called "Belly of the Yoshi", which is a reference to how Yoshis can eat as much food as they want without getting full. Yoshis were also referenced in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' by a planet shaped like a [[Yoshi's Egg]] in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]] and by a planet shaped like a Yoshi head in the [[Space Junk Galaxy]]. Similarly, in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', there is a sphinx in World 2-2 called the [[Yoshi Sphinx]], whose head is shaped exactly like a Yoshi's head.

The in-game Japanese text of Yoshi's [[trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' states that Yoshis are neither male nor female. In the ''[[Chef]]'' minigame in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', a Yoshi is shown to hatch other Yoshis without a mate; after being fed long enough, the Yoshi produces an egg that eventually hatches into another Yoshi. The baby then takes its parent's place and proceeds to eat enough food to turn into an adult, eventually producing an egg of its own, which then continues the cycle.

Other sources have shown Yoshis appearing to have a gender. At least one of the Yoshis in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' refers to his "son," and in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the Yoshi who sometimes appears on-board the [[Excess Express]] expresses his hatred of business trips due to them keeping him away from his "lovely wife". The original ''[[Mario Party]]'' also features a pair of Yoshis which appear to be one male and one female, although the exact nature of their relationship is not known. Additionally, while Japanese language rarely refers to Yoshi with gender-specific pronouns, Yoshi is consistently referred to with masculine pronouns in translation, with laying eggs being one of his trademarks. This confusion is addressed in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where [[Solid Snake]] assumes that Yoshi is a female because of his egg-laying abilities, only to be corrected by [[Otacon]] (both of whom use "it" rather than "he" or "she" while they are talking about Yoshi). It is addressed again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', where [[Viridi]] remarks that there is nothing natural about a male who lays eggs while [[Palutena]] asserts that all living beings have both male and female elements.

Yoshis are capable of speaking human languages, as demonstrated by Yoshi in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', as well as other Yoshis in games like ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and others. However, it seems that Yoshis speaking in human language is rare, as [[Yoshi]] must translate for Mario in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''.
Yoshis are capable of speaking intelligibly, as demonstrated by Yoshi in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Tetris Attack]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', as well as other Yoshis in games like ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and others. However, other games present Yoshis' speech in parentheses, such as ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' (in which Yoshi must translate the speech of other Yoshis for Mario) and the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series. Others have Yoshis only say the word "Yoshi" followed by a translation of what they are saying in parentheses, such as the ''[[Mario Baseball (series)|Mario Baseball]]'' series, ''[[Fortune Street]]'', ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', and others. The ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic jokes that Yoshis only say the word "Yoshi" to communicate.
 
In older games (and more recent ones such as ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''), [[Yoshi]] and his friends are "voiced" by the sound of two pitch-bended orchestra hits (in ''Super Mario World'' only [[Yoshi]] speaks with a text bubble, though this was changed in the ''Super Mario Advance 2'' version). In ''Yoshi's Story'' and many later games, the Yoshis are voiced by Nintendo musician [[Kazumi Totaka]], who mutters the word "Yoshi" as well as a series of intelligible and unintelligible words, such as "Blum" and "Ho Hup". His voice is sped up to create the babylike, high-pitched voices of the Yoshis.
 
Oddly, in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, Yoshi still speaks with ''Super Mario RPG''-style parentheses.

Although [[Baby Yoshi]]s retain their squeaky voices in ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' and ''New Super Luigi U'', their speech bubbles once again consist of the word "Yoshi", which is translated for the player.
