| A '''Yoshi''' is a sub-species of dinosaurs and/or dragons. Their main home is [[Yoshi's Island]] in [[Dinosaur Land]], although they've been seen in places like [[Yoshi Village]] and on the [[Excess Express]].

[[Mario]], [[Mallow]] and [[Geno]] travel here for a [[Star Piece]]. You can examine the fallen stars here to hear peoples' wishes. |

| | It reappears in ''[[Paper Mario]]'' as Shooting Star Summit and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'' as Star Hill. [[Star Shrine]] is inside Star Hill in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The Japanese name is Falling Star Hill. |

| | ==Area Tattles== |
| | * This place feels strange and mysterious, doesn't it? If we go east from here, we'll eventually get to Shooting Star Summit. |
|
| |
|
| <br>
| | * This is Shooting Star Summit. Stars are really...uh, shooting. People say that this place, like no other, reaches up and embraces the sky. |

| |
| == Biology ==
| |
| A Yoshi's dominating feature is its nose, taking up most of its head. They are very sensitive when smelling out fruit or secrets that could be buried underground. They probably locate family and friends by smell, along with skin color.
| |
| Even though they have teeth, these are rarely seen or used. The [[Fighting Polygons]] version of a Yoshi shows three pointy teeth, even though in the game [[Yoshi (character)|The Yoshi]] didn't show teeth.
| |
| The saddle they have could actually be some sort of shell, since each Yoshi is wearing one when hatched.
| |
| They have long adhesive tongues that can cling to most enemies, allowing a Yoshi to swallow it whole. They can either swallow whatever they eat, or encase it in an [[Egg]]. The eggs can be used as projectile weapons to defeat enemies and bosses.
| |
|

|
| | * This is the house of an amazingly gorgeous woman, the fortune-teller [[Merluvlee]]. [[Merlow]], who collects [[Star Piece]]s, also lives here. This house pulses with psychic power. Can you feel it? It feels...weird. It feels like I'm floating on some kind of spiritual cushion. |
|
| |
|
| == Skin Pigment ==
| | {{Template:SMRPG}} |
| Their skin color can be anything, even black and white. They can change skin color in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' by eating diffent fruit, and yet their colors are determined by hatching time in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]''. In ''[[Super Mario World]]'' they had abilities depending on their color and Koopa Shells. If a [[Blue Yoshi]] eats Koopa Shell, it could grow wings. If a [[Red Yoshi]] eats a Koopa Shell, it could spit [[Fireball]]s.
| | {{Paper Mario}} |
| Their shoes color is in conjunction with their skin, a green Yoshi has red shoes, a red Yoshi has blue shoes, ect.

| == Speech ==
| |
| Most Yoshi's can speak english, as proved by [[Yoshi (character)|Yoshi]] in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', and ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', and various Yoshi's in games like ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door]]'', ect.
| |
| They probably replace nouns and verbs with the word "Yoshi", much like the Smurfs always used the word "Smurf" in their language.
| |
| In ''Super Mario World'', hopping onto a Yoshi's saddle made an odd sound created by a record scratching and then playing the sound backwards. In ''Yoshi's Story'', the Yoshis are voiced by Nintendo musician Kazumi Totaka, who mutters his name and unintelligible words (such as "gong" and "hup"). Even though the game was by no means a favorite, because of it everybody assumes Yoshi's can only say "Yoshi".
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Gender ==
| |
| A popular debate indeed. A possible explanation is that there's male and female, and both can lay eggs, but only female eggs can produce babies. It's also possible that [[Pink Yoshi]]s can be male and female, since identifying gender by pink and light blue was a [[Human]] idea.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Diet==
| |
| They eat mostly [[Fruit]], and in the case in [[Yoshi's Story]], they become happy when eating fruit their own skin color. Melons are their favorite, and only the [[Black Yoshi|Black]] and [[White Yoshi]]s could digest chili peppers (which hurt any other Yoshi).
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Other notes ==
| |
| *Yoshis are the originator of the "[[Ground Pound]]" — a move in which a creature jumps into the air, flips and then slams into the ground. Yoshis first performed the move in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''. The move has been performed by many characters in later games, such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' and various entries in the ]][[Mario Party]]'' franchise.
| |
| | |
| *The plural for Yoshi has often come up in debates. Some argue that "Yoshis" is the proper term, while others argue that "Yoshies" is correct. Japanese plurals have no indicative marks, meaning that "Yoshi" is another (unlikely) possibility. Nintendo of America has used both "Yoshies" and "Yoshis" in the Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance versions of Yoshi's Island, respectively. It could be that both versions are canon.
| |
| | |
| *In the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''Super Mario Advance 4'' adaptations of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the king in the castle of World seven is transformed into a [[Green Yoshi]] by [[Ludwig Von Koopa]] (whereas in the [[NES]] version of the game, predating Yoshi's, the king was transformed into a [[Piranha Plant]]).
