Yoshi

Yoshi

Super Mario


A dinosaur-like creature, hailing from Yoshi's Island. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, and all have gentle personalities. They use their long tongues to grab and swallow fruit and enemies, turning them into eggs which they then lay afterwards, and also can use as ammunition. This Yoshi is known to be one of Mario and Luigi's main allies throughout their journeys, knowing them since birth! He's happy for them to ride on his back, and flutter jump away.

Gameplay Tips

  • Yoshi's Neutral Special is called Egg Lay. He can trap opponents in an egg with his tongue.
  • With Yoshi's Neutral Special, opponents that have taken a lot of damage have more trouble escaping from eggs.
  • Yoshi's Side Special/EX is called Egg Roll. This move turns Yoshi into an egg that rolls along the ground.
  • Yoshi's Up Special/EX is called Egg Throw. He can throw an egg at varying directions and speed depending of your inputs.
  • Yoshi's Down Special/EX is called Yoshi Bomb. During the move, keep the stick tilted down to pass through all platforms until Yoshi lands.
  • Yoshi's Prism Shatter is Super Dragon. Pressing Attack or Special makes Yoshi shoot three big fireballs that do high-knockback damage.

Trivia

  • Yoshi made his debut in Super Mario World, where Yoshi was trapped inside an egg by Bowser and freed by Mario.
  • Yoshi's shield is an all-protecting egg. Even if the shield blocks attacks, it won't get smaller and Yoshi's body won't poke out from the shield.
  • Yoshi's midair jump won't stop if a foe attacks Yoshi in the middle of it. It's more difficult to withstand attacks with high launching power, though.
  • Yoshi doesn't have a vertical move used mainly for recovering. However, Yoshi will flutter a little bit if Up Special is used in midair.
