Yoshi is a playable character in the first three ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' games, and has been confirmed as a playable character in the fourth upcoming installments. Yoshi is a heavy fighter with strong smash attacks and amazing jumping ability. Unlike other fighters, Yoshi's shield is not an energy bubble but a green-spotted Yoshi Egg. Although Yoshi lacks a true special jump in the first two games in the series, he makes up for this handicap with an extremely long flutter jump. This pays off for his very short triple jump. This second jump can help Yoshi reach platforms that would take some fighters three jumps to reach. When using the flutter jump, Yoshi can also resist being knocked away. Unfortunately, Yoshi's extended grab attack (which is not too different from his [[#Egg Lay|Egg Lay]] move) cannot grab onto edges (unlike [[Link]]'s Hookshot technique). Most of Yoshi's [[Special Moves]] revolve around various uses of Yoshi Eggs.
