Winged Yoshi is the trademark power-up form of the Yoshis, which made its debut in Super Mario World. In this form, Yoshi gains wings and the power of flight.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario World

In Super Mario World, this form could be accessed in one of two ways: by using the Blue Koopa Troopa Shell power, or by grabbing Yoshi's Wings. The latter would incidentally turn any color Yoshi into a Blue Yoshi after finishing the current stage. Winged Yoshis also made appearances in several early Yoshi puzzle games, such as Yoshi for the NES and Game Boy systems.

Super Mario 64 DS

After a prolonged absence from the series, Winged Yoshi returns in the multiplayer mode of Super Mario 64 DS as Yoshi's answer to the other characters' Wing Cap powers.

In the Super Mario World cartoon episodes "Ghosts 'R' Us" and "The Night Before Cave Christmas," Yoshi transformed into Winged Yoshi after gaining a pair of Magic Wings.

Super Mario Adventures

In Super Mario Adventures, after eating a Koopa Troopa wearing a Blue Shell, Yoshi becomes Winged Yoshi, which allowed him to fly with Mario and Luigi on his back. Yoshi accidentally spat out this Blue Shell later, causing him to lose his Winged form.

Mario Strikers Charged

The Winged Yoshi form makes an appearance in Mario Strikers Charged, where Yoshi briefly gains it while using his Mega Strike.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Yoshi's Super Dragon Final Smash turns him into a Winged Yoshi capable of breathing fire.

Yoshi's New Island

Winged Yoshi makes its first appearance in the Yoshi series in Yoshi's New Island, after Yoshi grabs a pair of Flutter Wings.
