==Creation and development==
[[File:Yoshi concept.png|thumb|150px|Early concept art of Mario riding on a dinosaur-like animal.]]
 
Yoshi did not appear until ''Super Mario World'', which was released in 1990. However, [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has stated in interviews that he wanted [[Mario]] to ride an animal companion after the completion of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Apparently, technical restrictions on the NES kept Mario from being able to ride an animal, but with the development of the [[Super Famicom]] in 1990, Yoshi could be created. The character of Yoshi was specifically created by [[Shigefumi Hino]], a graphics designer.

The character of Yoshi was specifically created by [[Shigefumi Hino]], a graphics designer, with the help of [[Takashi Tezuka]].<ref name=SMW2017/> According to [[Yoichi Kotabe]], Yoshi's name (initially romanized as "Yossy"<ref name=Localization>Mandelin, Heidi (March 6, 2018). [https://legendsoflocalization.com/yossy-image-gallery/ 24 Times “Yoshi” Was Called “Yossy”]. ''Legends of Localization''.

GAME Watch. Retrieved June 5, 2022.</ref> His name is the same as the Japanese interjection 良し (''yoshi''); meaning "good!", "okay!" or "all right!".
 
Since ''[[Super Mario World]]'' was supposed to take place in [[Dinosaur Land]], Hino initially designed a reptile similar to a large lizard. Since the initial design felt out of place, Tezuka redesigned him by making a rough sketch that then Hino polished. During the redesign, Tezuka tried making Yoshi related to the [[Koopa (species)|turtle tribe]], with the saddle actually being his shell.<ref name=SMW2017/><ref name=GAME></ref> Kotabe was the one who suggested that he should eat like a chameleon by sticking out his tongue.<ref name=GAME></ref>
Yoshi likely originated from another Nintendo character, Tamagon. Tamagon was the star of the game ''[[Wikipedia:Devil World|Devil World]]'', a game released in Japan for the [[Famicom]] in 1984 and later in Europe for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. Like Yoshi, Tamagon was a green lizard that hatched from an egg and could eat enemies with his large mouth. Tamagon makes exactly the same noise when he hatches as Yoshi does in ''Super Mario World''. Additionally, in the ''Super Mario World'' article in the ''History of Mario'' booklet from the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition]]'' game for Wii, game designer [[Takashi Tezuka]] said that Yoshi was originally going to be a type of Koopa, and the saddle on his back was supposed to be his shell.
Line 69 ⟶ 72:
Yoshi is the only character that doesn't have any "power," according to the instruction booklet for the game; he isn't capable of lifting objects or punching/kicking enemies (though he can still jump on them, and he can punch if he eats a [[Super Mushroom]]). In place of this, Yoshi has the ability to eat certain enemies and either spit them out and defeat them or swallow them and create an egg, which can be used to defeat other enemies. In addition to swallowing enemies, Yoshi can also swallow coins, items, and even Stars to collect them.
 
Yoshi features average speed, as well as has the highest jump out of the four playable characters, tied with Luigi; while jumping, the player can hold the {{button|dsnds|A}} to perform a Flutter Jump, giving him a boost while in the air (this does not work while [[Triple Jump|triple jumping]]). Additionally, Yoshi's [[Power Flower]] ability is [[Fire Power (Yoshi)|Fire Power]], which allows him to breathe fire that can melt ice and destroy enemies on contact; he can also breathe a single breath of fire by eating a source of fire and spitting it out. Yoshi's fire breath can also destroy signs. Since Yoshi cannot punch or grab objects, like mentioned above, he cannot defeat bosses that require these moves without wearing a [[cap]]; in some cases, however, they toss objects that Yoshi can eat and use to attack. Additionally, when entering a course, if any of the other characters have been unlocked, Yoshi can enter a level wearing their cap by default by tapping the icon on the touch screen while on the mission select screen.
 
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Line 113 ⟶ 116:
====''New Super Luigi U''====
Yoshi also appears in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', having the same role and purpose as ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.
 
===''Super Mario-Kun''===
[[File:Yoshi SuperMarioKun 14.jpg|thumb]]
Yoshi appears in the first volume of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]'' and has since been a frequently occurring character accompanying Mario. Yoshi is often yelled by Mario because Yoshi makes unexpected actions and mistakes. In the beginning of volume 23, Mario, Luigi, and Wario have been taking advantage of Yoshi, so Yoshi leaves to find better friends. Yoshi enters a haunted house and decides to settle with the Boos. The Big Boo, however, places a stamp with Bowser's face, making Yoshi turn suddenly aggressive. When Mario, Luigi, and Wario venture in the house, looking for Yoshi, Yoshi attacks them. During the attack, however, Yoshi runs through a wall and gets stuck. When Yoshi is about to be crushed by a Thwomp, however, Mario leaps in and struggles to hold up the Thwomp, shocking Luigi and Wario. The Bowser stamp falls off, but the two end up getting crushed.
 
===''Super Mario World'' television series===
{{section-expand}}
[[File:CartoonYoshi.jpg|thumb|left|Yoshi, as seen in the ''Super Mario World'' television series episode "[[Gopher Bash]]".]]
Yoshi appears as one of the four main characters in the [[Super Mario World (television series)|''Super Mario World'' animated series]] produced by [[DiC Entertainment]], replacing Toad from the previous cartoons. In the cartoon, Yoshi is depicted as being very young and childish (despite being older than Mario and Luigi in the games). Yoshi appears having a large appetite, which has the tendency to get him into trouble. Like other inhabitants of Dinosaur Land in the cartoon, he speaks in a more simple and primitive manner. As explained in "[[Mama Luigi]]," Luigi first finds Yoshi while trapped in the [[Lava Pits]]; he is searching for an item when, after hitting a coin block several times, a [[Yoshi Egg]] pops out of it. The egg soon after hatches into a young Yoshi, who believes Luigi to be its mother.
Line 219 ⟶ 217:
*'''Die Hexe lacht um Mitternacht''': Here Yoshi appears trying to stop [[wikipedia:Banjo-Kazooie#Characters|Gruntilda]] along with Toni, B, Gecko, VIP, and Banjo. At the end of the comic Yoshi lays an egg for Banjo and he throws it at Gruntilda, defeating her.
*'''Die Ostereier-Situation''': In this comic, Yoshi is projected from a video game and into the real world by VIP. Since it is Easter, Yoshi helps out Big B by laying Yoshi eggs which B. needed for his class.

In the German ''Club Nintendo'' comics, Yoshi appeared in quite a few comics, some of which involved him in a starring role. He also appeared in the special issues ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', ''[[Die Nacht der leuchtenden Yoshis!]]'', and ''[[Das Lied der Yoshi's!]]'' (along with [[Yoshi_(species)#Club_Nintendo|various other Yoshis]]). The ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' story arc was compiled in comic book form in ''Yoshi's Story Comic''.
 
*'''[[Ostern im Schwammerlland]]''' and '''Super Mario: Die unheimliche Begegnung der Yoshi-Art''': Yoshi's first meeting with Mario is depicted in these two comics. Where Mario and friends were out picnicking one Easter morning when they saw the Easter bunny. They tried to catch it but to no prevail although it did drop a large green spotted egg which happened to be a Yoshi egg. The egg eventually hatched into Yoshi, who started searching for his mommy. The first person he saw was Mario, so he proceeded to shout "Mommy!". The surprised and scared Mario ran from Yoshi but the dinosaur followed. After a long time of chasing, Mario and Yoshi decided to be friends.
*'''[[Super Mario: Im Rausch der Geschwindigkeit]]''': Mario abets Yoshi to go faster than 80-dinosaur power, a fictional speed limit. As a result, Luigi, who works as a police officer in this story, demands a 60 Coins fine from them.
*'''[[Super Mario: Die Bescherung]]''': Yoshi is seen going to Mario's Christmas party and ends up meeting a man that seems to be Santa Claus.
*'''[[Super Mario: Coole Klänge]]''': Yoshi briefly appears as Mario's horse while the plumber is trying western style music.
*'''[[Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland]]''': Yoshi is ridden by Mario to a client's house but is left outside. Later, a different Yoshi accompanies Mario, Toad, and [[Kirby]] on their quest to find the Crab wizard because he wants darker skin; he ends up becoming a black Yoshi.
*'''[[Super Mario: Erholung? Nein, danke!]]''': Yoshi and friends go on a vacation to an island called Koopabiza where they take the airline KoopAir. Unfortunately, the airplane they ride in is in very bad shape a is piloted by a blind clerk who also operated the booking office. After the flight, they find themselves checked into a bad hotel in horrible condition. After a while, Yoshi suggests they go swimming but they find no body of water large enough to go swimming in. At night, they are awoken from their sleep only to find that the hotel disco is making the noise, which is so loud it eventually ruptures the floor beneath them and they fall directly on to the disco. Because of all, this they hurry off the island and go home.
*'''[[Super Mario: Verloren in der Zeit]]''': Yoshi appears in part 1 as a taxi from the stone age, who offers his services to Mario but is declined. He also appears in Mario's house in part 4 wearing sunglasses and a red jacket, relaxing on a stool.

Yoshi then calls the Blast Corps and Netty from the Blast Corps arrives. Yoshi and Netty then continue to chase the truck until it is stopped by Blast Corps robots.
*'''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''': In this special comic, Yoshi starts out with a falling Baby Mario and a map landing on his back. After rescuing Baby Mario, Yoshi is then chased by toadies who are after Baby Mario. During this time, Yoshi goes through a tutorial of the game ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' with a [[Hint Block]] for a guide.
 
===''Mario Discovery'' series===
====''Mario is Missing!''====
 
During the events of ''[[Mario is Missing!]]'', Yoshi accompanied the Mario Bros. to [[Antarctica]] to stop Bowser from melting Antarctica and flooding [[Earth]]. After Mario gets captured, Luigi decides to stop Bowser himself. Using the [[Globulator]], Luigi can determine where he is. After doing this, Luigi can summon Yoshi for a ride. Here, Yoshi's abilities proved once again to be of great use, as the exit pipe is occupied by a large Pokey that only Yoshi can defeat. With Yoshi's help, Luigi rescues Mario and defeats Bowser.
 
====''Mario's Time Machine''====
 
Yoshi is captured by Bowser in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version of ''[[Mario's Time Machine]]'' when he tries to help Mario stop the Koopas from stealing artifacts from Earth's history. After returning the artifacts by himself, Mario has to defeat Bowser to get the key and free Yoshi from his cage in the Koopa's castle.
 
Line 263 ⟶ 235:
Yoshi later returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as a light racer.
 
Yoshi returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. While the official website classifies him as a middleweight, Yoshi is actually a lighter middleweight, focusing a little more on acceleration, handling, and grip than with speed and weight. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Yoshi is once again a light racer.
 
===''Mario Tennis'' series===
[[File:Yoshi Artwork - Mario Tennis OpenYoshitennis.pngjpg|thumb|left|Yoshi from ''Mario TennisPower OpenTennis''.]]
Yoshi is typically an agile sports player, allowing him to make quick manoeuvres (this was especially prevalent in the ''[[Mario Tennis]]'' competitions). Yoshi appeared in the game ''[[Mario's Tennis]]'' as well as its successor ''[[Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)]]''. In ''Mario Tennis (Nintendo 64)'', Yoshi appeared as a speed character and had three different courses: the Baby Mario and Yoshi Court which has the fastest ball speed but a Weak bounce, the Birdo and Yoshi Court which has a slow ball speed with a strong bounce, and the Yoshi Court which has a fast ball speed with a strong bounce.
 
Line 278 ⟶ 250:
 
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
 
Yoshi would meet up with Mario again during events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. In this adventure, Yoshi has traveled to [[Yo'ster Isle]], a Yoshi-populated island that can be accessed from the mainland via the [[Pipe Vault]], to participate in the various races held there. This racing competition was known as the [[Mushroom Derby]]. Unfortunately, the last winner of the Mushroom Derby was an arrogant Yoshi named [[Boshi]]. After winning the race, Boshi declared himself the boss of Yo'ster Isle. He suspended the races, allowing only one-on-one races between himself and a lesser competitor (and only when [[Yoshi Cookie]]s were on the line).
 
Line 291 ⟶ 264:
===''Mario Party'' series===
[[File:YoshiMP8art.png|100px|thumb|right|Yoshi in his appearance for ''Mario Party 8''.]]
Yoshi has appeared playable in every ''Mario Party'' game that has been released. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', he had his own board called [[Yoshi's Tropical Island]]. In ''[[Mario Party 2]]'' and ''3'', Yoshi's favorite item was a warp block. If Yoshi was set on as a computer, he would be more than likely to buy a warp block over any other item. Also in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Yoshi's star stamp was Kindness and his partner was Boo. In ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', Yoshi's favorite thing was the Warp Space, which does something similar to the Warp Block. In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', Yoshi was partners with Toad. Yoshi didn't have a default partner in ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', but instead he was partners with Birdo In ''Mario Party 7'', ''Mario Party 8'', and ''Mario Party 9''. Yoshi's Special Orb in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' was the Egg Orb. Yoshi is featured in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. His constellation is the "Hero's Best Buddy". Yoshi returned in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'', and in ''[[Mario Party 10]]''. He has also made appearances in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' and is set to be playable again in ''[[Mario Party 10Superstars]]''.

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.
 
Line 342 ⟶ 315:
 
After a battle at [[The Canyon]], Yoshi and his teammates meet up with the other heroes and enter Subspace, only to have [[Tabuu]] turn everyone into trophies. Yoshi was rescued by Kirby, who had been revived by one of Dedede's badges that he had eaten. Everyone, including Yoshi, then joins forces and eventually defeat Tabuu.
 
====Special Moves====
=====Egg Lay=====

}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Egg Lay}}
'''Egg Lay''' is a move that Yoshi is able to perform in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros Brawl]]''. The player has to simply press the B Button to activate the move. Yoshi will go on to stick his tongue forward, and will eat anyone he hits. He will then lay an egg containing the player he just ate, causing him to become immobile. Yoshi can then proceed to attack the trapped player, while he can't retaliate. The player will hatch out of the egg eventually. It can also be used to run away from the opponent, in order to regroup.
 
This is also the way Yoshi does his grab attempts. However, instead of swallowing the opponent, he'll spit them out.
 
The attack is based on [[Swallow|Yoshi's ability]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where he is able to eat an enemy and turn it into an egg.
 
=====Egg Roll=====

}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Egg Roll}}
'''Egg Roll''' was a move used by Yoshi in the game ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Yoshi used it when the player pressed Side+B. The move allowed Yoshi to roll around the stage in an egg and is able to turn around while in this form. When rolling, Yoshi could knock into players, causing damage. It is very similar to [[Jigglypuff]]'s [[Rollout]] move. However, Egg Roll has better control. Despite this, Yoshi can still roll off the edge easily, if he's not careful. The attack is a very good run away move, and is also good at attacking multiple enemies at once. If he end this move in the air, Yoshi will enter helpless state. Holding down B during the move will increase the power, but makes it harder to control. It was actually the first time Yoshi could roll in an egg, and was carried on into later games, like ''[[Mario Power Tennis]]''. However, it is similar to ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', when Yoshi obtains a [[Turbo Tulip]], which is likely the first time. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'' the color of Yoshi's egg matches the color of Yoshi himself, instead of always being green.
 
=====Egg Throw=====
{{multiple image

|width1=140

|caption2=The '''Egg Throw''', in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.
|width2=259
}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Egg Throw}}
Egg Throw is also an attack that Yoshi can perform in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Series]]''. It is done by Pressing B and tilting the Control Stick up. Once done, Yoshi will proceed to hold the egg, aim it, and throw it, just like in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. However, In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Yoshi cannot aim it as well as he did in Yoshi's Island. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', he has a much wider range of fire. Also, in the ''Smash Bros.'' Series, unlike the ''Yoshi's Island'' series, the eggs will form an arc and starting falling, rather than keep on going in a constant direction. The distance of the egg can be influenced by tilting the Control Stick in a direction after initiating the attack, along with how long the player holds the special attack button. He cannot jump high, which is its disadvantage.
 
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' (but not ''Super Smash Bros.'' or ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''), Egg Throw somewhat acts as Yoshi's third jump, because he rises a little as he does the move.
 
=====Yoshi Bomb=====

}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Yoshi Bomb}}
'''Yoshi Bomb''' (originally known as '''Ground Pound''') is a move that Yoshi can use in all three [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' games]]. It is done by pressing down on the Control Stick, then pressing the B Button. Although, basically a [[Ground Pound]], once Yoshi lands, two stars appear at his side, hurting anyone who hopes to attack him while he's getting up. The attack is best used while [[Flutter Jump]]ing over an opponent, to land a powerful hit. The attack can be easy to dodge, however, and can leave Yoshi open for a long-distance attack. A new feature has been added to this move in ''Brawl''. When used on the ground, Yoshi hits anyone who is right in front of him upon leaping in the air, stunning them, allowing Yoshi to get an easier hit with the actual attack. A similar attack is the [[Bowser#Bowser Bomb|Bowser Bomb]]. Like the Bowser Bomb, this will always result in an SD if used off the edge as this attack is a stall-then-fall.
 
This move references ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', where Yoshi has the ability to [[Ground Pound]] while in midair.
 
=====Super Dragon=====
{{LLQuote|It feels like, um...beauty and elegance...mixed with clumsiness. Certainly, no one’s ever seen Yoshi like this!|[[Masahiro Sakurai]]|[http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/yoshi.html#3rd Smash Bros. DOJO!!]}}
{{main|SmashWiki:Super Dragon}}
[[File:SSBB - Super Dragon Screenshot2.png|thumb|200px|left|The '''Super Dragon''' [[Final Smash]].]]
'''Super Dragon''' is Yoshi's [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. The move reflects Yoshi's sporadic, yet powerful fighting skills on the battlefield and greatly improves his ability to recover from a fall. Rather than a single, powerful attack, Super Dragon temporarily transforms Yoshi into [[Winged Yoshi]] and gives him the ability to breathe fire. However, Yoshi must first break open a [[Smash Ball]] in order to charge himself up for the attack. Once this happens, Yoshi can activate the attack at any time. He can even save himself from an otherwise deadly fall.
 
While the attack has not specifically appeared in any other game, by eating [[Red Shell|Red]] or [[Blue Shell|Blue]] [[Koopa Shells]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Yoshi could breathe fire or fly respectively. However, only one of these moves could be used at a time. By using a [[Rainbow Shell]], he could become Super Dragon, but he hasn't much aerial mobility like when he uses his Final Smash, and could only breathe out one set of three [[Fireball]]s, causing the transformation to end. However, in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Yoshi could spew multiple short streams of fire after eating a [[Super Red Watermelon]]. This ability is closer to that seen in the Super Dragon ability as well as the origin.
 
Yoshi can shoot fireballs if the player presses the standard attack button; however, he will also spew a stream of fire if the player doesn't press any buttons for about three seconds. Both attacks do heavy damage. Yoshi will also cause damage if he simply makes contact with an opponent.
 
Yoshi is named "Super Dragon Yoshi", due to text from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
 
Oddly enough, Yoshi's Final Smash trophy has him without a saddle.

===''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''===
 
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', a strange pink and green egg mysteriously appears on the island. This egg was much larger than any Yoshi egg, and soon the mysterious object becomes a tourist destination. Unfortunately, the strange egg eventually hatches into a gigantic Yoshi-like monster known as [[Yoob]].

==General information==
===Physical description and traits===
{{main|Yoshi/Characteristics}}
Yoshi, like all other Yoshis, has a large nose, a row of red spines along his head, a saddle on his back, which is used by Mario and company when being ridden on. However, ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games]]'' later states that it is in fact a shell. Yet again, this may have been a minor mistake as a [[Baby Yoshi]] is shown to not have a saddle; if it was a shell Yoshis would have been born with them. He also has a long sticky tongue, often used for swallowing things. The green dinosaur typically wears orange shoes in recent games, but he originally wore brown shoes and also red shoes in a few appearances. Although Yoshi normally has lime green skin, he has been known to change his colour. For example, in ''Super Mario World'', Yoshi could become blue in colour after collecting a pair of [[Yoshi's Wings]] (he would stay green in [[Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World|the GBA remake]]). In fact, Yoshi would become a literal [[Blue Yoshi]], providing Yoshi with the same strengths and weaknesses as a Blue Yoshi. Yoshi would not return to his original color unless he ran off and became re-encased in a Yoshi Egg.
Yoshi is a green dinosaur from Mushroom Kingdom. He wears orange shoes with yellow bottoms. His hands, body, tail and head are all a light shade of green. His chest and mouth area are white in color, though. Although he has never been seen without shoes, [[Boshi]]'s appearance in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of Seven Stars'' as well as the feet of the Yoshi Sphinx in ''[[Paper Mario Sticker Star]]'' confirms that Yoshi has three clawed toes on each foot and padded feet. Along his head are orange spikes. He has a red shell that has a white rim on his back. Some of his powers include flying and devouring enemies with his long tongue.
