Yoshi, like all other Yoshis, has a large nose, a row of red spines along his head, a saddle (or shell) 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 the non-canon ''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.
