Yoshi's House is the home where Yoshi lives. It is generally depicted as a simple roof made out of leaves, with various tree trunks for support and a fireplace. It appears in various places throughout the Super Mario franchise.
History[edit]
Super Mario series[edit]
Super Mario World[edit]
- Main article: Yoshi's House (level)
Yoshi's House first appears in Super Mario World, where it serves an optional level in Yoshi's Island. Mario starts a new game out on top of it, but is free to move to Yoshi's Island 1 or Yoshi's Island 2 without entering. It consists of a single screen with nothing more than a Message Block that displays a note from Yoshi; if the level is reentered while riding Yoshi, the message changes to a hint regarding the Yellow Switch Palace.
Design-wise, the house is a simple roof of leaves held up by three tree trunks, with seven berries hanging from it (ten in Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2). It features a lit chimney, a mailbox (bearing the Japanese postal mark), and a sign with Yoshi's name on it. Small birds roam around the roof; their colors match the four colors of Yoshi available in the game.
The home reappears during the credits, where Yoshi, Yoshi's friends (representing the four main colors and the seven Baby Yoshis from each numbered castle), Princess Toadstool, and Mario and/or Luigi celebrate their victory.
Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]
Another Yoshi's House appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2 at Sky Station Galaxy. Like in Super Mario World, Yoshi is not home. The sign in front of his house says a similar message as in Super Mario World. Although the house is not made of trees like in its previous appearance, it is similar, having the sign reporting that he is not home, and there are berries on the roof as before.
Super Mario Maker subseries[edit]
Although Yoshi's House does not properly appear in the Super Mario Maker subseries, semisolid platforms based on the original Yoshi's House can be placed in the Ground theme of the Super Mario World style, with a snowy version added for the Snow theme of Super Mario Maker 2.
Super Mario Run[edit]
In Super Mario Run, Yoshi's House is a -★ special building. It is a giant Yoshi's Egg placed on top of a tree stump that is similar to the tree stumps that Toad Houses rest on. Yoshi's House takes up a 1 x 1 space. To unlock it from the Shop, the player has to obtain 30 Red Toads and 30 Yellow Toads, at which point it can be purchased for 1000 coins. As a limited item, only one Yoshi's House can be purchased from the Shop. Placing Yoshi's House in the kingdom for the first time unlocks Yoshi as a playable character.
Version 2.0.0 added Red Yoshi's House, Blue Yoshi's House, Yellow Yoshi's House, and Purple Yoshi's House, which have an identical appearance to Yoshi's house except for the spots on the Yoshi Egg matching the color of the Yoshi. Placing them in the kingdom for the first time unlocks the corresponding colored Yoshi as a playable character. Most of the parameters are shared between the five houses, but the number of Toads needed to unlock each house and the number of coins needed to purchase each house differ. Blue Yoshi's House requires 50 Red Toads and 50 Blue Toads to unlock and 800 coins to purchase, Purple Yoshi's House requires 150 Blue Toads, 150 Green Toads, and 100 Purple Toads to unlock and 3000 coins to purchase, and Yellow Yoshi's House requires 300 Blue Toads, 300 Green Toads, and 200 Purple Toads to unlock and 5000 coins to purchase. Red Yoshi's House is slightly different. It requires 9999 total Toads, 1000 of which must be Yellow Toads, to unlock. It can then be purchased for 50000 coins.
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
Yoshi's House appears again in Super Mario Odyssey. It is located in the Mushroom Kingdom instead of Dinosaur Land, now depicted as a single large tree and two smaller trees, but retaining its fireplace. Mario can travel to it by going through a painting on the Remote Island in the Lava in the Luncheon Kingdom. Unlike with some other paintings that warp Mario between kingdoms, which are blank if he has not visited the kingdom they lead to, Mario can travel through this painting before the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom is unlocked, but he cannot go beyond Yoshi's House. As in Super Mario Galaxy 2, there is a sign stating Yoshi is not home and is now at Peach's Castle. Mario can find a Power Moon by wall-jumping up the chimney and a coin pile atop the largest tree. A Checkpoint Flag and a pair of Binoculars are also present.
Yoshi franchise[edit]
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]
Yoshi's House appears at the start of Welcome To Yoshi's Island, the game's tutorial level. Here, it is depicted smaller than in Super Mario Word, and is missing most of its features besides the leaf roof and tree trunks.
Yoshi's Story[edit]
In Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's House can be seen in the background in the opening.
Super Mario RPG[edit]
Several houses similar in appearance to Yoshi's House appear on Yo'ster Isle in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. These houses also feature fruit on their roofs.
Mario Superstar Baseball[edit]
Yoshi's House reappears in Mario Superstar Baseball, where it cameos as a Yoshi's Story-reminiscent cardboard cutout in the background of the stage Yoshi Park.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]
Various houses also appear on Yoshi's Island in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, where their trunks are depicted much closer together, effectively forming entire walls without gaps.
Mario Kart series[edit]
Yoshi's House appears in the Yoshi's Island course in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass and in Mario Kart Tour, where the Yoshi spectators stand and jump on its top with lanterns hanging underneath. It appears immediately before the course's starting line. As shown on the sides, Yoshi's House has six posts rather than four.

Notes[edit]
- Several trees lined up in a noticeably similar design decorate the goal areas in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's Island DS, Yoshi's New Island, and Yoshi's Woolly World (where they are made of different colors of yarn set at the ends of most levels) and most courses (with slightly varying designs) in Yoshi's Crafted World.
