Yoshi's design in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is similar to the older style used in his games predating ''Super Mario 64''. His shield is an egg as opposed to a bubble (Instead of shrinking, Yoshi's egg-shield turns steadily darker until he can no longer hold it out), and he lacks a true third jump, though he still can jump higher and stay in the air longer by a rapid movement of feet. Despite his lack of a third jump, his flutter jump is the largest second jump in the game. Other second jumps that come close to Yoshi's flutter jump are [[Kirby]], [[Ness]], [[Mewtwo]], [[Jigglypuff]], and [[Princess Peach]]. The flutter jump also gives Yoshi resistance to being knocked away. His air dodge in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' can substitute as a third jump. In both games, Yoshi is a fast and heavy character with a unique playstyle and strong jumping ability. His symbol is a Yoshi Egg.


==Character description==
His trademark moves are centered around eggs. He can swallow opponents and lay them in eggs, and can throw explosive eggs from an inexhaustible supply. ''Melee'' introduced the "Egg Roll", in which he rolls around in a fast-moving egg. This can be a very powerful move if used correctly. The Egg Roll was copied to ''[[Wikipedia:|Mario Power Tennis]]'' as a Defensive Shot, which made Yoshi change colors. It also reveals that Yoshi uses his tail as his main form of physical attack. He uses it in a large number of his attacks including his powerful downward smash.


Yoshi first appeared on [[Mario]]'s first Super NES game, ''[[Super Mario World]]''. In the game, the player played as Mario or [[Luigi]], and were able to find Yoshi eggs, which would hatch automatically, revealing a full-grown Yoshi. Later in the game, baby Yoshi's could also be found. The player could grab these baby Yoshi's and toss them around like they could with a shell. They could also feed the Yoshi 5 enemies, which would result in the Yoshi maturing, allowing the character to ride the Yoshi's back. Also, in the game, 4 different color Yoshi's were introduced, each with its own special abilities, depending on what color shell it had in its mouth. The green standard Yoshi was the most common found color Yoshi. He grew wings and could fly freely when he had a blue shell in his mouth. When he had a red shell in his mouth, he could spit fire. Lastly, when he had a yellow shell, he could stomp the ground when he jumped. The color of the Yoshi indicated what his special abilities were when they had a shell in their mouths, matching the colored shells. No matter what shell they had, the blue Yoshi could fly, the red Yoshi could spit fire, and the yellow Yoshi could always stomp the ground.
In the third installment of the series, ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a ''Yoshi's Island'' stage has been shown (this time, based on ''Super Mario World 2'' rather than ''Yoshi's Story'' as in the previous installments), but Yoshi himself has not been explicitly confirmed to be in the game yet. On the June 4th update on the official ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' website a new music score known as "Yoshi's Story: End" was added to the list of music from the game, complete with Yoshi's "egg" symbol, further speculatng that Yoshi will be in ''Brawl''.
Recently, there has also been a [[Yoshi's Island]] stage announced for Brawl (with changing seasons, confirming the Winter Yoshi's Island stage will actually be in the game).
On Tuesday, July 24, 2007, Yoshi was officially confirmed for Brawl and it was revealed that he can now use his up-B Move as a third jump.

Yoshi makes his first appearance in a fighting game in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' as a starting playable character.  Yoshi's lack of a [[third jump]] makes him a turn off, generally towards beginner [[smashers]].  However, even with the lack of a third jump, Yoshi's midair jump is sufficient enough to give Yoshi great [[recovery]] distance. Not only that, but there is the fact that during this midair jump, Yoshi cannot be knocked back. These facts alone gives Yoshi, arguably, the best recovery in the game.

Yoshi returns in ''Melee'' as a starting playable character. Yoshi stays relatively unchanged, but is given a few new visual properties, such as a more realistic dinosaur posture and several new, unique techniques such as [[edge-canceled eggs]]. Although Yoshi can continue to [[double jump cancel]], Yoshi continues to lack a [[third jump]] and is still unable to [[jump]] out of his [[shield]], two things that are hard to simply brush off.

Yoshi once again returns as a playable character in ''Brawl''. He appears in his more recent cartoony stand-up look from the Mario Sports and Party games. His moves seem to be relatively unchanged from his Melee moveset, except for the fact that his [[Up-B]], the [[Egg Toss]], now acts somewhat as a third jump, as it has been seen to give him a little extra air/stall time. This is surely a welcome addition for Yoshi, especially since the directional airdodge seen in Melee has been removed, which previously aided Yoshi in his recovery. He also keeps the unique ability to be able to resist knockback during his second jump.

Yoshi's design in the Super Smash Bros. series is similar to the older style used in his games predating Super Mario 64. His shield is an egg as opposed to a bubble (Instead of shrinking, Yoshi's egg-shield turns steadily darker until he can no longer hold it out), and he lacks a true third jump, though he still can jump higher and stay in the air longer by a rapid movement of feet. Despite his lack of a third jump, his flutter jump is the largest second jump in the game.

His air dodge in Melee can substitute as a third jump. In both games, Yoshi is a fast and heavy character with a unique playstyle and strong jumping ability. His symbol is a Yoshi Egg.
