Concept and creation

Yoshi was created by graphics designer Shigefumi Hino, in response to Nintendo's design staff expressing a desire for Mario to ride a frog.^[1] His name may be derived from the typical Japanese interjection Yosh!, the English equivalent of which would be "yes!", reflecting his general upbeat nature.

An interjection is a part of speech that usually has no grammatical connection with the rest of the sentence and simply expresses emotion on the part of the speaker, although most interjections have clear definitions. ...

Appearances outside of video games

A "translation" for Yoshi's language is given in Super Mario Adventures.

An animated series followed Super Mario World, bearing the same name, and was similar in plotline to the previous series, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario Brothers Super Show, but with a different setting. The show featured Yoshi as a regular character, voiced by Andrew Sabiston (who later provided the voice of Diddy Kong in the Donkey Kong Country cartoons). The cartoon portrays Yoshi with the personality of a very young child, and, therefore, he speaks like one, often in third person. He is often afraid of many things that young children would be afraid of, such as Boos and water. This may be based on his reactions to attacks by enemies in Super Mario World (he runs off when hit and will even run off of a cliff if Mario fails to chase after him) and/or the fact that Yoshi refuses to enter Ghost Houses, fortresses, or castles. Interestingly, his design in the show changed over time to better match his video game design. Image File history File links SMA-YoshiTranslation. ...

Due to its early cancellation, Yoshi was not featured in the Super Mario Bros. comic books published by Valiant Comics. However, he did appear in the Nintendo Adventure Books, which were somewhat based on them. There, his dialogue consists of words that rhyme with "orp", as he does not speak English there like in the cartoon. The games however, consists of some Yoshi that can speak English (including the main Yoshi himself), and others that only understand their native tongue. ^[3] Yoshi also features prominently in the Super Mario Adventures comic serial printed in Nintendo Power. There, his dialogue consists mainly of his own name. (Incidentally, he talks this way in most Mario games since Yoshi's Story in 1998. But in a Japanese Mario Paint ad he does actually speak.) According to these comics, Yoshi is the Chairman of the Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce, who is searching for a group of missing Yoshi Villagers whom Bowser has captured. Yoshi also appears in the critically maligned Super Mario Bros. movie. In the movie, Yoshi took the form of a realistic animatronic dinosaur, very much like a smaller version of Jurassic Park's velociraptors, instead of a live-action animated character ^[4]. Although extremely different in appearance than his video game counterpart, he still shares some resemblance with a long tongue, friendliness and courage. He is also downsized to the point that he could not support Mario at all, his vocal effects were provided by Frank Welker.

Description

While green is considered the standard color for Yoshi, his brethren appear in different colors, including blue ^[5], red ^[6], yellow ^[7], brown, orange, pink, purple, azure, turquoise, navy blue ^[8], silver, bronze and, more rarely, black and white. Black and white Yoshi in the Nintendo 64 game Yoshi's Story have the distinct ability to digest chili peppers, which other Yoshis cannot. Black and white Yoshis also appear in Yoshi's Island DS in the unlockable levels. Generally, a Yoshi's shoe color is dependent on its color; red Yoshis wear blue shoes, for example. In Super Mario World for the SNES, different colors of Yoshi had different abilities, such as fire-breathing and flying.

Yoshis also can make a variety of sounds. In Super Mario World, hopping onto Yoshi's saddle made one of a few sounds of affirmation; these were Yoshi's trademark noises until Yoshi's Story, when the character (voiced by Nintendo musician Kazumi Totaka) began muttering his name and unintelligible words (such as "gong", "hup" and "wah!"), usually when idle or jumping. Besides "hup", "gong" and "wah!", Yoshi, in various games, has said his own name. In Mario Kart 64, Yoshi also makes a "pshee-pshoo" sound. Nonetheless, Nintendo 64 games like the Mario Party series, Mario Golf, and others, still feature Yoshi with the same sounds as in Super Mario World. Sometimes, in Mario Kart DS, he uses this noise when he is attacked. In the game Mario Strikers Charged, Yoshi can be heard saying "yay!", or "ya hi ya ho!" It is unknown if Yoshi can actually speak the English language, although in Super Mario 64 he is seen talking normally.

Yoshi's appearances in video games, usually Mario sports games, typically portray him as an agile character. In Mario Kart games, Yoshi has excellent acceleration, but he is more likely to skid off the track than other characters. In Mario Golf, his shot is straight and average in height. In Mario Tennis and Mario Power Tennis, he is the fastest tennis player. In Mario Superstar Baseball, Yoshi is the speediest runner and can use his tongue to catch faraway balls. In Super Mario Strikers, Yoshi is a balanced captain. When he performs his Super Strike, green and yellow bubbles surround the character as he kicks the ball into the back of the net, usually hitting the goalie in the stomach and taking him into the net with it. In the recent sequel, Mario Strikers Charged, he is once again a balanced captain. This time when he performs his Mega Strike, he flies up into the air, sprouting the wings as he could have in Super Mario World if he held a blue shell in his mouth, he draws in a lot of breath and as he breathes out it creates a considerable force on the ball causing it to be fired into the net. In Mario Hoops 3-on-3, Yoshi is an All-Around character, in contrast to his speedy nature in other sports games. His Special Shot is the Flutter Dunk, performed by tapping an "M" pattern on the touch screen twice. At close range, he holds the ball as he hovers toward the hoop in typical Yoshi style, leaving a rainbow trail. When he is outside the three-point line, he throws the ball to another teammate, with another rainbow trail behind the ball. In most of these games, Yoshi is mostly teamed up with Birdo, although their relationship is unclear. In Mario and Sonic and the Olympic Games, Yoshi is a speed type character.

Physical appearance

Although having the same general appearance, Yoshi's appearance has slightly changed over the years. Originally his features more resembled a dinosaur, with a long neck, small arms, and a wider back (conveniently for Mario to ride on.) Also he has small spikes from head to tail. According to Satoru Iwata, Yoshi "ended up looking like a dinosaur... because something like a dinosaur was the shape which was allowed by the [Super Nintendo's] technical limitations."^[9] Satoru Iwata , born December 6, 1959) is the fourth president and CEO of Nintendo succeeding the long-standing previous president of the company, Hiroshi Yamauchi in 2002. ...

The first game to have Yoshi's appearance altered was the SNES version of Yoshi's Cookie, with him being much shorter, chubbier, with larger arms and hands. It is possible that this new look was originally intended to be his "younger" form. This theory is supported by the fact that in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Kamek makes a reference to the young age of the Yoshi carrying Baby Mario when he and Kamek encounter each other for the first time, in Burt The Bashful's fort ("So you're still on the baby's side, Yoshi-Baby? Then take THIS!") This design was used again in Yoshi's Story, which had much more noticeable changes to his new look due to the game being 3-D, as well as the addition of infantile hatchings. Yoshi's Story showed Yoshi having much more human-like features (i.e.: standing up straight instead of curved, swinging his arms while running.) Over time, Yoshi's spikes would become smaller and blunter.^[10] Yoshis Cookie is a puzzle game made for the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System), Game Boy and Super Nintendo. ... Kameks main form of transportation is his flying broomstick, although he can also use magic to teleport short distances. ... Baby Mario is a fictional character in Nintendos Super Mario series of video games, in which he is an infant version of famed mascot Mario. ... Yoshis Story ) is the Nintendo 64 sequel to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System game Super Mario World 2: Yoshis Island. ...

This new look for Yoshi has been used for the remaining Mario games ever since. Games such as the Mario Party series, the Mario Sports series, and even the Paper Mario series used this new appearance, likely making this his permanent design. Yoshi's design was changed for the remake of Super Mario 64 for the DS, from his original "dinosaur" look, to his new shorter look (so that he looked similar to the other characters). It also inherited hovering and egg-throwing from the previous games, but he could only keep one egg with him as opposed to being able to carry many more (in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, for example, he was able to carry up to six eggs at once). But in some games, like Yoshi's Story, the color of the Shy Guy that Yoshi swallows is the color of the egg. Also the color of the egg can depend on the color of the Yoshi that swallowed the enemy.

One key anomoly about Yoshi is the red bump on his back. In Super Mario World, it was a saddle for Mario to sit on while he was riding Yoshi. However, Yoshi kept this saddle even in games where Mario didn't ride him, so it became a fundamental feature of Yoshi that later evolved into the "shell" design that's seen today, much like the shell of a Koopa Troopa. A Koopa Troopa ) is a creature of the fictional turtle species in the Mario video game series. ...

In Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshi's fruit-eating ability made him a valuable asset to Mario in his quest to recover all 120 Shine Sprites. Many a challenge in this game would require a team of Mario and Yoshi to have to spray juice or eat fruit in order to satisfy the requirements of that particular challenge. For example, in Ricco Harbor, Yoshi must first be fed a fruit that causes him to spray purple juice, as that makes platforms travel sideways, but later in the same level, he is required to eat a fruit that causes him to spray pink juice, as that will cause the platform to travel up. Without these specific requirements being met, the Shine Sprite at the top of the highest platform cannot be retrieved.

Species

Yoshis are described as either dragons or dinosaurs. They are shown in games as having very long, sticky tongues. The captured enemy can be either spit out or somehow encased in an egg. They are omnivorous and seem to enjoy tropical fruits, especially melons as depicted in the game Yoshi's Story. In Super Mario Sunshine Yoshis can only be awoken by feeding them such fruits. For other uses, see Dragon (disambiguation). ...

Their gender is undefined. Seems like all Yoshis are female and reproduce by a unique form of parthenogenesis, initiated by ingesting some food and finished with a single egg per digestion. New individuals come out of eggs only if laid in a nest. Yoshis have a carefree attitude towards their eggs: they carry them bouncing behind their tails in often dangerous places, and lay them out of necessity often using them as weapons. For the religious belief, see Virgin Birth of Jesus. ... For the industrial process, see anaerobic digestion. ...

Their noses can detect fruit and other secrets buried underground as seen in Yoshi's Story. Although they have teeth, these are rarely seen or used, exceptions being Yoshi's Story, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island DS. Yoshis are generally depicted in games as being quite intelligent from a young age, many being able to defend themselves while still infants. While the main Yoshi himself is depicted as green, they come in a variety of colors,^[11] spanning every color of the rainbow, and even black or white. In the games Yoshi's Story, Yoshi's Island DS, and Mario Power Tennis, they can be unlocked or are a playable character in some way. In Mario Power Tennis, the black and white Yoshis can be played as after upgrading Yoshi's power shot. The white Yoshi will come up very often, while the black Yoshi takes some time to appear. Some Yoshis have the ability to fly, breathe fire, cause earthquakes by stomping, and even stick out their tongues as far as the game screen. In the game Super Mario Sunshine, Yoshi can spit out a variety of fruit juices which he needs to survive. Different fruits were known to change its color. If yoshi enters a body of water, he will disappear and return back to his egg. They can swallow an enemy and plop them out as a egg.

In the more recent Mario sports games such as Mario Superstar Baseball the Mario Tennis series Yoshi is known for his speed and tongue capability. He is also well known for his feared Tomahalk Headbutt. It is assumed by many that all other Yoshis are just as capable as this Yoshi, supported by the Yoshi's Island games, where different colored Yoshis have the same abilities throughout the game.

Speech

In most games, Yoshi does not actually talk. Either he has no voice (e.g. in Super Mario World), or he simply makes unintelligible noises and says his name. There have been a few instances, however, where he actually has a speaking part. In the Super Mario World cartoon, he is given a speaking part, as well as in the Paper Mario series. In these games, the Yoshi species in general possesses the ability to speak. More recently, Yoshi has been given speech in the game Super Mario Strikers, and its sequel Mario Strikers Charged. The Paper Mario series is a series of RPG games that feature Mario in a paper-look, hence the name. ...

In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Yoshi was the only one of his kind to be able to communicate with Mario, and acted as an interpreter so Mario could speak to other Yoshis. In his first few appearances, he used to make a noise similar to the voice of Scooby Doo, and at the end of Super Mario 64, after the player has collected all 120 stars, you can talk to Yoshi who is standing on the castle. After this, he gives you 100 lives and an upgraded triple jump. This is one of the few instances that Yoshi actually speaks normally like other characters. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (スーパーマリオRPG) was the last Mario game made and released for the Super Famicom/Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and was the last Square-produced game for a Nintendo video game console until 2003, with the debut of Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles for the...

In some games, various buttons can be pressed to make Yoshi talk. For example, in Mario Golf (for Nintendo 64) the four C Buttons can be pressed to make him taunt his opponents, and in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the 1 and 2 buttons on the Wii Remote make Yoshi do a variety of things, including talk. Also, in Mario Party 8, Yoshi also taunts his opponents when the Wii Remote is shaken, (but only when he is on a party board).
