Yoshis are capable of speaking | 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]]''. | ||
In | 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. | ||
Although [[Baby Yoshi]]s retain their squeaky voices in '' | Oddly, in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series, Yoshi still speaks with ''Super Mario RPG''-style parentheses. | ||
The ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic joked that Yoshis can only say the word "Yoshi". | |||
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. | |||
