===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' Mario and his partners visit [[Yo'ster Island]], where Yoshis race each other for sport in a competition known as the [[Mushroom Derby]]. Unfortunately, the last winner of the derby was an arrogant Yoshi named [[Boshi]] who proceeded to name himself leader of Yo'ster Island and suspend the races. Instead, only one-on-one races between himself and slower Yoshis were allowed, with [[Yoshi Cookie]]s as the prize. When Mario arrives, he helps Yoshi defeat Boshi in a race, prompting the people to try and appoint Yoshi as their new leader. Yoshi declines the offer, however, and instead has the Mushroom Derby re-opened to everyone, with no Yoshi in charge.

 

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===

Yoshi appears as a playable character in all the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] titles, in which he has various alternate colors, in addition to the basic [[Green Yoshi|green]]: [[Red Yoshi|red]], [[Blue Yoshi|blue]], [[Yellow Yoshi|yellow]], [[Pink Yoshi|pink]], and [[Light Blue Yoshi|light blue]]. Some stages and events involve fighting multiple Yoshis. In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', only four of the six Yoshi colors were playable; green, red, light blue, and yellow. All six Yoshi colors were used in the computer-controlled Yoshi team battled during the 1-Player mode, and they all became playable in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

 

===''Paper Mario'' series===

====''Paper Mario''====

Mario and his partners visit a [[Yoshi Village]] on [[Lavalava Island]] during the events of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They were there looking for a [[Star Spirit]] that Bowser had trapped in a playing card and given to a minion to guard within the island's volcano, but they find they can't get into the mountain on their own. The Yoshi [[Village Leader]] says he'll help Mario and the others if they help round up [[Fearsome 5|five missing Yoshi Kids]]. With the help of their [[Cheep-Cheep]] babysitter, [[Sushie]], Mario and co. soon find the young Yoshis and can continue on with their quest.

 

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====

When Mario and his current set of partners visit [[Glitzville]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', they soon find themselves with custody of a Yoshi egg, after its initial owner, [[Hoggle|a hotdog vendor]], decided against cooking and serving it once he realized it could move on its own accord. For a while, the egg follows Mario and his partners. Then, after the match with the [[Armored Harriers]], Mario returns to find that the egg had hatched into a [[Yoshi (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|baby Yoshi]], the colour of whom varies depending on how much time had passed between Mario's acquisition of the egg and its hatching. Mario names the Yoshi, who then travels with him and the other partners for the remainder of the game, before becoming a fighter at the [[Glitz Pit]] after the quest is over.

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the invading aliens known as the [[Shroobs]] deposit what appears to be a giant Yoshi Egg on Yoshi's Island. It swiftly becomes a tourist attraction, but eventually hatches into a monster known as [[Yoob]], which proceeds to eat every Yoshi it can catch. A factory in its belly then encases the eaten Yoshis in Yoob Eggs, so that they will also hatch as monsters and help wreak havoc on the world. Fortunately, the plan is foiled by Yoshi, aided by Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and the adult Mario and Luigi, who had both traveled back in time to save Peach and stop the aliens. Yoshi discovers a way to escape through Yoob's digestive tract and the four Mario Bros. liberate the captured and imprisoned Yoshis to help him. They also defeat the guardian of the factory, [[Sunnycide]], and once the Yoshis escape and the factory is destroyed, Yoob falls asleep.

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====

Yoshi noises [[List of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story beta elements|were seen in the code of]] ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' but unused. It is unknown if Yoshis themselves were going to appear in the game or it was left over from ''Partners in Time'' (as the game's engine was based off this game's). During one of the [[Fawful Guy]]s' attacks, a roar very similar to Yoob's can heard. In the attack, a long tongue (presumably belonging to a [[Fawfulized]] Yoshi) turns them into an egg and spits them out. This is a reference to ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====

Yoshies appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' as one of the many species invited to Pi'illo Island. Many Yoshies can be seen in various places such as [[Pi'illo Castle]], [[Mushrise Park]] and [[Wakeport]].
