==History==

In ''[[Super Mario World]]'', red, yellow, and blue Baby Yoshis<ref>Stratton, Bryan. ''Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide. Page 92. "''When you find a find a Red, Yellow, or Blue Yoshi Egg in a Star World, approach it to hatch a Baby Yoshi of that color. Pick up the Yoshi by holding {{button|B}} and carry it to an enemy. The Baby Yoshi automatically eats the enemy. When it has eaten five enemies, it grows into an adult Yoshi and you can ride it like a normal Green Yoshi. Furthermore, when you discover a Yoshi Egg from now on, you have a chance of randomly getting a Yoshi of that color.''"</ref> (or '''Mini-Yoshis''')<ref>Super NES Nintendo Player's Guide, page 14.</ref> are found only in [[Star World]], where they hatch from eggs of the same color whenever [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]) makes his approach. Feeding the Baby Yoshis five enemies or objects—such as [[shell]]s, [[coin]]s, or active [[Grab Block]]s—makes them turn into adult Yoshis. However, if a Baby Yoshi eats any power-up, it will grow up instantly. Rarely, Baby Yoshi will turn into a regular [[Yoshi]] after eating fewer than five enemies; this happens because sometimes the game considers a single enemy to have been eaten twice.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgG8GQXr90Y</ref> Yoshi himself hatches directly into an adult when Mario uncovers his egg, but this is because [[Bowser]] trapped Yoshi in the egg. Unlike their adult counterparts, Baby Yoshis cannot use their tongues to eat objects, and they eat only anything that they make contact with, similar to Yoshi eating a [[fruit (Yoshi food)|berry]]. Also, the eggs Mario rescues from the [[Koopalings]] all hatch into Baby Yoshis during the ending cutscene. While green Baby Yoshis have artwork for the game, they do not appear during gameplay, aside from briefly appearing when Yoshi comes out of the egg before instantly growing; however, a single one in the ending appears as one of the rescued Baby Yoshis.

The possible outcomes are as follows; forms written in ''italics'' always spawn that particular Yoshi, assuming it has already been found and fed in Star World, whereas forms not written in italics randomly spawn a Yoshi among those that have already been unlocked:

===''Super Mario World'' television series===

Baby Yoshi is the young version of Yoshi in the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series episode "[[Mama Luigi]]". He differs from the Baby Yoshis from the ''Super Mario World'' game, Baby Yoshi is shown to be able to move on his own and use his tongue as a baby, is able to eat many enemies without growing, and does not possess any shoes on his feet either. He knows how to talk right from birth, but mistakes the first person he sees for his mother, which happens to be [[Luigi]].

Baby Yoshis appear in the game ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]'' under the name of Little Yoshis<ref>''Yoshi'' instruction booklet, page 14 on NES and page 13 on Game Boy.</ref> and can be seen on the title screen. A Little Yoshi will appear if the player sandwiches two egg shells together with no enemies, or at least one enemy on the NES version, rewarding the player 50 [[point]]s.

===''Mario's FUNdamentals''===

In ''[[Mario's FUNdamentals]]'', Baby Yoshis are used as the player's pieces in Checkers. Mario controls [[Koopa Troopa]] pieces, and the Baby Yoshis eat the Koopa Troopas when capturing them.

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===

In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', a pudgy Baby Yoshi, named '''Baby Fat''',<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue 47, page 97. "''Once you win, you’ll receive your prize and be free to wander around the place, talking to a couple of lovesick mushrooms (aaah!) who mention the Grate Guy’s Casino (one to note down), and feeding on the giant toddler called Baby Fat. He’ll keep chomping on all the cookies you give him, and when he’s full, you’ll receive some very interesting new items... Chow down, fat boy!''"[https://www.tumblr.com/adaman44/183023896520/nintendo-magazine-system-uk-47-august-96-help] </ref><ref> M. Arakawa. ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide, page 41.</ref> appears as an inhabitant of [[Yoshi's Island (location)#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Yo'ster Isle]] that hatches after Mario defeats the [[Cake (boss)|cake]] in [[Marrymore]]. Being a baby, his voice is higher than the older Yoshis. If Mario has [[Yoshi Cookie]]s, he can feed Baby Fat with them. After Mario feeds him 30 Yoshi Cookies in total, he will become fat and exit the nest which is hinted at by another Yoshi. His voice becomes deeper, but not as deep as [[Boshi]]'s voice. By continuing to feed him more cookies at the same time, he may give Mario various items by hatching them out from eggs. His fat appearance may be a reference to the {{fandom|finalfantasy|Fat Chocobo}} from [[Square Enix|Square]]'s own ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' franchise.
