- —Fearsome 5, Paper Mario
The Fearsome 5 are a group of five differently-colored young Yoshis who live on Lavalava Island with their Yoshi caretakers. The Fearsome 5 have only appeared in Paper Mario and are renowned for their mischief.
Description
The Fearsome 5 are very good friends and are constantly found together, save for when they are in the middle of playing hide and seek. They are also very mischievous and rebellious, which causes great dismay and stress for their strict babysitter, Sushie. The Fearsome 5 are found in the area of Yoshi's Village nearest to Jade Jungle and Mt. Lavalava, which contains Yoshi's Cabana and the local Toad House.
Talking to each of them reveals vague notions of mysterious plans they were apparently going to put into action in a short time. After Mario returns from Mt. Lavalava, he finds Yoshi's Village in chaos, eventually learning that the Fearsome 5 had somehow managed to sneak into Jade Jungle to play hide and seek. The Village Leader persuades Mario and his partners to look for the Yoshi children. After some searching, the crew eventually finds a treebound Sushie, who had been looking for the wayward Fearsome 5 and fell into one of their traps. Upon rescuing her from the tree, she decides to temporarily join the party, and they eventually save the Fearsome 5 from all over the jungle. The Fearsome 5 decide it wiser to respect Sushie's wishes and accept their punishment, and travel back home with the group, though they still find the jungle exciting.
Later, Mario and Parakarry can deliver a Letter to the Red Yoshi Kid member of the Fearsome 5 from Dane T., his apparent pen pal. This Letter is an invitation to the Red Yoshi Kid to come to Toad Town and go on an adventure to Boo's Mansion with Dane T. and Mini T. and also includes instructions on how to play a new game; the Red Yoshi Kid has to decline Dane T. and Mini T.'s offer to go to Toad Town but has Mario and Parakarry deliver a Letter to the two. Additionally, a Letter found on Lavalava Island and addressed to Russ T. was apparently written by one of the island's Yoshi Kids, presumably a member of the Fearsome 5. The Fearsome 5 also write to Mario himself at a certain point in the game.
During Paper Mario's ending sequence, the Fearsome 5 are seen up to their mischief yet again, having returned to Jade Jungle and being yelled at by Sushie, who received an invitation to Peach's Castle from Parakarry shortly after. The green Yoshi kid of the Fearsome 5 also served as an invitee to the party at Peach's Castle, and all of the Fearsome 5's members were present in the ending parade, where they partially devoured Huff N. Puff and his Tuff Puffs, shocking them and disappointing a hungry Gourmet Guy, who had seemingly planned to do the same thing.
In volume 26 of Super Mario-Kun, Mario and his partners first find the Fearsome 5 sleeping. Mario carries one while he has Kooper carrying the rest much to Kooper's complaint. When Putrid Piranhas and a White Magikoopa attacks Mario, Goombario, and Kooper, the Fearsome 5 awakes and helps them. They tape the Putrid Piranha's mouths shut while using a Thunder Rage on the White Magikoopa. Mario and his partners then take the Fearsome 5 home.
Tattles
- He's a yellow Yoshi kid. Whoa! He's cheery, huh? This kid is full of pep. I was the same back in the days when I was small. What? I'm still small? Well, yeah, compared to you, I guess I'm still wet behind the ears.
- He's a green Yoshi kid. He's an excitable rascal, huh? Yoshi kids get pretty big. All he wants to do is explore beyond his village. I know how he feels.
- He's a purple Yoshi kid. Not a care in the world! Very cute. He seems to like you, Mario.
- He's a blue Yoshi kid. He thinks he's different from other Yoshi kids. What a cute little guy! I can see how he might get on your nerves, though.
- Yoshi kids are so cheerful. This red Yoshi kid, though, looks pretty mischievous. He looks like a little scamp. I bet he gets into all sorts of trouble and doesn't regret it a bit. What? That's like me? Marioooo! C'mon! Take it back!
