''Yoshi'' was the subject of a manga called ''Yoshi no Tamago'' (ヨッシーのたまご, lit. "Yoshi's Egg") by Kazuki Motoyama, who later went on to write a manga based on ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. It has two different stories. The first story involves Yoshi opening a restaurant called Yossy's Pizza (note that the ''Yossy'' in the name was how Yoshi's name was anglicized in Japan at the time). And the second story (divided into three separate parts) involves Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, and Peach embarking on a journey to find his mother.
