This is the list of profiles and statistics for Yoshi.

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario World[edit]

  • Shogakukan guide: マリオの冒険をサポートしてくれる頼もしい味方。クッパに囚われた仲間を救うため、旅に出た勇士でもある。その食欲はクッパの 手下たちを震え上がらせる。[1]
    (A reliable ally who supports Mario in his adventures. He is also a brave warrior who sets out on a journey to save his friends who have been captured by Bowser. His appetite makes Bowser's minions tremble.)
  • Mario Mania: Mario's pal has a big appetite for Koopas, Spinies and other bad guys. If he swallows shells of certain colors, Yoshi can fly, make earthquake-like landings and even spit fireballs in three directions.[2]

Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

  • Instruction Booklet Bio: Because he can't punch, Yoshi is weaker than other characters in the power department. However, he can swallow all kinds of things and turn them into eggs to throw.
    • Power: /***
    • Speed: **/***
    • Jump: ***/***

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

  • European website bio: From the moment he hatched, Yoshi has been a priceless ally in the battle to foil the Mushroom Kingdom's less genteel residents. Whether he's making a meal out of Bowser's troop of baddies or carrying his companions into combat, this dynamic dinosaur is the epitome of a "good egg". Now he's bringing a multi-colored bunch of friends along to provide their support - all you have to do is find them!

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

  • Instruction manual description: After Mario bumps into Yoshi™ in a certain galaxy, Yoshi will show up from time to time and help Mario in his quest.

New Super Mario Bros. U[edit]

  • Website bio: Yoshi™ is as hungry as ever! He'll eat enemies and berries in his way, and use his powerful legs to help you reach greater distances.
  • Instruction manual description: If you find an egg, Yoshi™ will hatch out of it. Jump on Yoshi's back to ride him.

Super Mario Run[edit]

  • Notebook bio: Yoshi is Mario's loyal adventuring buddy. He can Flutter Jump, and he's got no fear of spikes! Popular with Green Toads.

Items descriptions[edit]

  • Yoshi's House: The house where Yoshi lives. Place this and Yoshi will join!
  • Yoshi Topiary: A shrub that has a dashing cut, and it looks like Yoshi.
  • Yoshi Statue: A statue of Mario's sidekick. You can almost hear his voice just by looking at it.
  • Gold Yoshi Statue: A shiny golden statue of Yoshi. It looks like it could go and swallow every single coin on the island.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

  • North American website bio: The path to Princess Peach is full of foes—luckily, you’ll also meet some friendly and familiar faces along the way. Hatch a Yoshi Egg to get a lift or pick up a Baby Yoshi and use their unique skills to help you reach tough places, light up passages, and more!

Nintendo Character Guide (1993)[edit]

Yoshi
Yoshi, properly known as T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas, had been held captive in an egg until Mario (homo nintendonus) bopped along and rescued him. Instantly, the young dinosaur and the plumber became fast friends. Together, they set out to rescue Yoshi's dinosaur pals from the wickedness of Bowser.

Game appearances: World, Kart, M&W
A reliable eater and partner
"I used to live in Dinosaur Land, but my friends were kidnapped by Bowser the Great, so I set out on a journey to rescue them. During my adventure, I met a rough old man named Mario, and I was able to rescue my friends. I haven't eaten any enemy characters lately, so I'm getting hungry."
A powerful person in the shadows with three leading roles
Yoshi, a highly popular character, has appeared in many other games besides Super Mario World. Moreover, he has appeared as the main character in three games, beating out many of his predecessors.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit]

  • Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Nintendo Player's Guide Moves description: "I think I can" should be Yoshi's motto. The little dino doesn't have the stunning skills or amazing arsenals of some superheroes, but he more than makes up for his shortcomings with plenty of courage and cleverness. Yoshi's abilities may underwhelm you at first, but you'll discover as you play the game what a resourceful little guy he is. To make it through Yoshi's Island and defeat Bowser, you'll have to stay sharp and know just what to do in every situation you'll encounter.[4]

Tetris Attack[edit]

Sprite of Yoshi's icon from the SNES version of Tetris Attack.
  • In-game Character profile:
    • English:
      Hello everyone! I am Yoshi.
      I'm very glad to see you all again. A little problem has come up here. But, with help from Little Yoshi, I think we can take care of it!
    • Japanese:
      やあ みんな ヨッシーだよ
      みんなと またあえてとっても うれしよ
      ヨッシーアイランドが たいへんなことに なっちゃった みたいだけど
      チビヨッシーと ちからを あわせて がんばるよ
      (Translation: Hey everyone, it's Yoshi.
      I'm so happy to see you all again. It looks like Yoshi's Island is in trouble. But I'll do everything I can with Little Yoshi.
      )

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

  • Official Nintendo Player's Guide
    • Who's Who: Yoshi and his friends on Yo'ster Island love nothing better than racing all day long. But now that Boshi has become the heavy, the days drag on without end. If Yoshi has his way, you'll help him save the island and restore the races. Doing so will not affect the outcome of the game, but you'll feel good having helped these happy creatures. Also, you’ll earn Yoshi's friendship and get one of his powerful cookies.[5]

Yoshi's Story[edit]

  • Shogakukan guide: 冒険の旅の主役は、生まれたばかりのちびヨッシー。つらいことがあっても、大好きなフルーツを食べれば、しあわせいっぱいになれるんだ。[6]

The star of the adventure is the newborn Baby Yoshi. Even though he is going through a tough time, he can be full of happiness if he eats his favorite fruit.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

  • Speed: ****
  • Weight: **
  • Bio: Yoshi is a bit heavier than Toad and Peach, but slightly slower as well. If you're willing to sacrifice a little speed for increased stability, give the dino a go.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

Yoshi's emblem
  • Partner: Birdo
  • Personal Kart: Turbo Yoshi
  • Special Item: Yoshi's Egg
  • Bio: Taking a break from carrying Mario, Yoshi's ready to burn up the courses.

  • Class: Light
  • Default Karts: Standard YS, Egg 1
  • Unlockable Kart: Cucumber
  • Website Stats
    • Acceleration: ***

  • Bios
    • Flag of USA.png / Manual: While Yoshi is usually ridden by Mario, this time he's ready to race. Yoshi's traction is excellent.
    • Flag of Europe.png Yoshi's undeniable cuteness has lent him a cult following among the younger Mario Kart fans. He's the smallest and lightest of the competitors - making him a swift mover but also prone to being pushed around by the bigger boys and girls on the track.

Mario Kart Wii trading card of Yoshi.
  • Website description:
    • American English:
      Yoshi's excellent traction makes drifting a dream. Mini-Turbo your way to victory when you test his skills on a dirt bike!
    • British English:
      Mario's long-time adventure mate doesn't let his loyalty stand in the way of doing all he can to win.
  • Trading Card bio: Not mean, very green, so cute and a little less lean, Yoshi is a driving machine in the Middleweight division. It's fair to say he's big on racing, seeing Yoshi has been in every Mario Kart game. It's not surprising that Yoshi loves the Yoshi Falls track—maybe it has something to do with that big egg.

    • British English:
      Yoshi boasts great acceleration at the expense of top speed, and excels at getting back up to speed following a crash.
  • Guide bio: Like Peach, Yoshi favors acceleration over top speed. He's slightly bigger than a true lightweight, but not by much!

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Super Smash Bros.[edit]

  • Instruction booklet bio: Yoshi is the cute dinosaur that lives on a tropical island. You'd be surprised what he can do with a simple egg.
  • Game bio: Yoshi is the friendly dinosaur of Yoshi's Island. He began as Mario's partner, but has since built his own identity, and now appears in many games. He uses his unique ability to turn whatever he swallows into an egg as his foremost attacks. Yoshi's come in a rainbow of colours and are said to have a high IQ from a very early age.
  • BradyGAMES guide (page 47): This green dinosaur isn't quite as old as some of the other characters in Super Smash Bros., but Yoshi has had his fair share of games. His career started as a somewhat small role in Super Mario World on the Super NES, but he then spun off into his own series, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. He saw a sequel on the N64, Yoshi's Story, and you can relive some of that obnoxious cuteness in this fighting game.

Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

  • Instruction booklet: A dinosaur that boasts surprising jumping prowess.

  • Player's Guide bio: Daring dino Yoshi dances to the beat of his own smash track. While other battlers have a third jump to fall back on, Yoshi can jump only twice before he becomes ground-bound. When he does jump, though, he soars. His overall ability to take hits is strong, and he is nearly invincible while airborne. When Yoshi is planted on the ground, he can stay in one spot easily and hold his position. It's difficult to knock him off the stage.[33]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]

  • Website bio: Yoshi’s back and bursting with personality! He can launch consecutive attacks and even smack around enemies below him mid-flight.

    • Snake: Otacon! What's this lizard thing?
    • Otacon: That's a Yoshi. It's a dinosaur from Yoshi's Island. Watch out for its long, chameleon-like tongue. If it gets you, you'll be swallowed whole.
    • Snake: It lays eggs and throws them, right? ...Then it must be female.
    • Otacon: ...Actually, it's a "he." At least, that's what it says.

Yoshi
The voracious friend of the Mario brothers hails from Yoshi’s Island. He uses his long tongue to eat just about everything, but is especially fond of melons and other fruits. He’s attending these Olympic Games with a host of colorful friends at his side.

Miis' Dialogues (Wii U version)[edit]

  • Yoshi and Mario are always palling around together on adventures. It's nice to see true friends like that. He even lets Mario ride on his back! Man, I'd give anything to ride a Yoshi. Anything! ...Well, OK. Not ANYTHING. But you get what I mean.
  • Yoshi is such a glutton! That long tongue can pick up pretty much anything, though I hear his favorite food is melon.
  • There are lots of varieties and colors of Yoshis, but they're all still just called "Yoshi." It's not really a name like how "Mario" is. If you're even in doubt, you can tell a Yoshi by their kind heart, fast feet, and huge appetite!

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020[edit]

  • Website description: Mario's kind, chill ally from Yoshi's Island. His long tongue lets him gobble up fruit and foe alike and turn them into eggs.

「ヨッシー
ヨッシーアイランド」からやってきた、マリオのたよれる仲間だよ!
やさしくて、のんびりした性格。背中にコウラがあるけど、カメなのか、恐竜なのか、実はわかっていないんだって。
食べることが大好き!じまんの長い舌でフルーツや敵キャラクターをまるごと飲みこんじゃう。しかも飲みこんだものは、タマゴにして産むことができるよ!でも、さすがにドッスンやクッパは食べられないらしい…。
みどりのヨッシーのほかにも、赤・水色・ピンクなど、色ちがいのヨッシーもいるよ。」

Yoshi
Coming from Yoshi's Island, it's Mario's trusted companion!
Yoshi has a carefree and easygoing personality. Even though there's a shell on his back, we actually don't know whether Yoshi's a dinosaur or a turtle!
Yoshi loves eating things! With his long tongue, he can swallow fruits and enemies completely whole. However, anything Yoshi swallows can only be laid as an egg! But, as you'd expect, it seems he can't eat Thwomps or Bowser...
Aside from Green Yoshi, there's Yoshis of various colours, such as Red, Light Blue, and Pink!
