Alongside Yoshi himself, three differently colored Yoshis also appear, each of which has a distinct special ability that can be used so long as they have a {{s|mariowiki|Koopa Troopa}} shell in their mouths. {{s|mariowiki|Blue Yoshi}} can fly, {{s|mariowiki|Red Yoshi}} can breathe Fireballs, and {{s|mariowiki|Yellow Yoshi}} can emit a {{s|mariowiki|sand cloud}} after landing a jump. While Yoshi himself does not have any distinct special abilities, he can use each of the three other Yoshis' abilities by holding a shell of the same color as the respective Yoshi, such as a red shell allowing him to breathe Fireballs. By extension, the other three Yoshis can do the same. | Alongside Yoshi himself, three differently colored Yoshis also appear, each of which has a distinct special ability that can be used so long as they have a {{s|mariowiki|Koopa Troopa}} shell in their mouths. {{s|mariowiki|Blue Yoshi}} can fly, {{s|mariowiki|Red Yoshi}} can breathe Fireballs, and {{s|mariowiki|Yellow Yoshi}} can emit a {{s|mariowiki|sand cloud}} after landing a jump.

The Yoshis' ability to eat virtually anything was expanded to include the ability to create Yoshi Eggs capable of being [[mariowiki:Egg Throw|thrown]]. In addition, Yellow Yoshi's sand cloud-generating jump was modified into a {{s|mariowiki|Ground Pound}} usable by any other Yoshis. Outside of these updated abilities, the Yoshis also gained the ability to {{s|mariowiki|Flutter Jump}}<ref name=YoshiDev/> and [[mariowiki:Morph Bubble|transform into certain vehicles]]. | The Yoshis' ability to eat virtually anything was expanded to include the ability to create Yoshi Eggs capable of being [[mariowiki:Egg Throw|thrown]].

In addition to being the first installment of the [[mariowiki:Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' sub-series]], ''Super Mario World 2'' is the first installment in the ''Mario'' series' in-universe timeline: it details {{s|mariowiki|Baby Luigi}} being captured by {{s|mariowiki|Kamek}} while being delivered by a {{s|mariowiki|stork}}, while | In addition to being the first installment of the [[mariowiki:Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' sub-series]], ''Super Mario World 2'' is the first installment in the ''Mario'' series' in-universe timeline: it details {{s|mariowiki|Baby Luigi}} being captured by {{s|mariowiki|Kamek}} and his {{s|mariowiki|Toadie}}s while being delivered by a {{s|mariowiki|stork}}, while a group of Yoshis discover the missing {{s|mariowiki|Baby Mario}} and work to rejoin him with his twin brother. | ||
After being rescued by the Yoshis, the stork resumes its journey to deliver the newly reunited baby Mario Bros. to their parents. However, upon arriving at its supposed destination, the husband and wife declare that the babies are not theirs, which segues into the events of ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's New Island}}''. This mishap results in the stork once again being attacked by Kamek and his Toadies, who recapture Baby Luigi while Baby Mario falls to {{s|mariowiki|Egg Island}}, which is home to another group of Yoshis. Much like their counterparts on Yoshi's Island, this group of Yoshis bands together to reunite the baby Mario Bros. and stop Baby Bowser from turning Egg Island into his own personal resort. | |||
Despite the stork successfully delivering the baby Mario Bros. to their proper parents, Kamek and his Toadies nevertheless kidnap several babies from across the Mushroom Kingdom as part of their search for the {{s|mariowiki|Star Children}}, thus leading to the events in ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Island DS}}''. Unlike the previous two instances, the stork attacks Kamek and the Toadies, thus resulting in Baby Mario and {{s|mariowiki|Baby Peach}} being dropped onto Yoshi's Island during the scuffle. Upon reuniting with Baby Mario, the Yoshis decide to save not only Baby Luigi, but also Baby Peach and any other babies that were kidnapped. | |||
