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 Yoshi is rarely referred to with gender-specific pronouns in Japanese, he 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]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', 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.
