This article is about Yoshi's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. For the character in other contexts, see Yoshi.
Yoshi is all about egg-related moves, like throwing eggs, swallowing opponents and turning them into eggs, or turning into an egg and charging toward an opponent. With a high jump, recovery is a piece of cake for Yoshi! And for his Final Smash, a Yoshi army stampedes through the stage.
As with all veterans returning from Smash 4, Yoshi's model features a more subdued color scheme. His irises appear larger and his shoes feature simple detailing.
Yoshi now always faces the screen regardless of the direction he turns. Because of this, his stance is now mirrored, and so is his moveset.
Yoshi's dashing animation is changed. It is now a more upright run with his arms moving, similar to his dashing animation in Yoshi's Island DS.
Two of Yoshi's victory poses were slighly altered: the victory animation where Yoshi spins around and strikes a v sign now has him performing a Flutter Jump, before spinning around once and striking a v sign; and the victory animation where Yoshi punches the air once and striking a pose now has him punching the air twice and, strikes a pose with his right leg farther back.
Forward aerial has a different animation. Yoshi no longer flips after the headbutt.
Back aerial has a slightly altered animation, with Yoshi striking a new pose at the end of the move.
Back aerial's hits transition faster.
When hitting grounded opponents, Back aerial's first 2 hits now launch opponents vertically with much less knockback. This can lead to easy aerial follow ups even at high percents.
Yoshi has a new up aerial where he raises his tail up from behind and no longer flips.
Down aerial's landing hit deals more knockback, potentially causing opponents to tumble, which it could not do in previous games due to its fixed knockback.
Yoshi's pummel animation has changed. Now after grabbing an opponent and holding them in his mouth, his cheeks become swollen and jiggle, as if the fighter inside is trying to break out. He also holds his mouth closed with his hands, and he no longer crouches down to the ground.
Yoshi has a new Final Smash called Stampede!. He headbutts in front of him and an army of multicolored Yoshis stampede over the trapped players, similar to his part of the Super Smash Bros. Melee opening.
Although Yoshi does not appear in the World of Light opening cutscene, he was vaporized and later imprisoned alongside the rest of the fighters (sans Kirby) when Galeem unleashed his beams of light.
