'''Yoshi's Island''' is where [[Yoshi]] was first discovered (and where his [[Yoshi (species)|species]] appears to be native to), hence his name.<ref>As stated in the ''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet p. 19.

It should be noted that the name "Yoshi's Island" actually refers to two separate islands with different names in the original Japanese versions: The one that first appeared in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' (ヨースター{{hover|島|とう}}, ''Yōsutā Tō'', lit. Yo'ster Isle), and the one that later appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (ヨッシーアイランド, ''Yosshī Airando'', lit. Yoshi Island), which became the setting of many titles in the [[Yoshi_(franchise)|''Yoshi'' franchise]]. However, in most localizations, no distinction is made between these two locations (see [[Yoshi's Island (location)#Names in other languages|Names in other languages]]). | |||

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', it goes by the name '''Yo’ster Isle''' (also named '''Yoshtar Island''' on one occasion<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 38, page 73.</ref>), which is closer to the Japanese name of the ''Super Mario World'' rendition of the island.

The island is the home to many Yoshis of various colors. Yoshis find entertainment in the [[Mushroom Derby]], a short race on the island's track. The Yoshis of the island enjoy racing and hold the Derby often. The island is also a famous tourist destination; for many years, people from around the world have traveled to Yo’ster Isle to experience its many features.<ref name=NP>Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide. Page 24.</ref> | ||
Yo’ster Isle is connected to the mainland by a [[Warp Pipe]] to the Pipe Vault. The island is rich with vegetation and scattered with trees. No true buildings exist, yet small, open shelters made of wooden poles and covered with leafy roofs provide the Yoshis with protection from harsh weather. Most of the Yoshis can't actually speak directly to humans; only [[Yoshi]] can communicate with [[Mario]], and acts as translator when talking to the other [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]]. Besides Yoshi himself, there are several important Yoshis: [[Boshi]], a blue Yoshi known for his unsociable behavior, and the small, green [[Baby Yoshi#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Baby Yoshi]] who hatches and grows during the course of the game, though never leaves the small nest. If Mario feeds him enough [[Yoshi Cookie|cookies]], he will eventually be rewarded with a few rare items, including [[Red Essence]]. | |||
Boshi was once considered the leader of the island after he won the Mushroom Derby and declared himself boss of the Yoshis. However, with the help of Mario and Yoshi, Boshi was defeated in another Mushroom Derby race and the Yoshis began to live freely again. Although the Yoshis make up the indigenous population, the island is considered a vacation hotspot and [[Raz]] and [[Raini]], two [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s from [[Toad Town|Mushroom Kingdom]], spent their honeymoon there. | |||
