Yoshi: Difference between revisions

Despite Baby Wario and Baby Bowser leaving the group because of a desire for money and a retrieval by present day Kamek, respectively, the Yoshis nevertheless arrive at Baby Bowser's castle. Upon doing so, they reunite with Baby Wario, who sought Baby Bowser's treasure. Together, the green, pink, yellow and purple Yoshis band together with the remaining four babies to defeat Baby Bowser and then Bowser himself, thus foiling Bowser's plan and saving Baby Luigi and the rest of the kidnapped babies. Although the seventh and final star child is not encountered by the Yoshis, Bowser or Kamek, the ending reveals the final star child to be a newly hatched {{s|mariowiki|Baby Yoshi}}, thus strongly implying him to be the very same {{s|mariowiki|Yoshi}} that the grown up Mario Bros. would go on to rescue and ally with in ''Super Mario World'' and subsequent ''Mario'' games.

While several other ''Yoshi'' platformer games have been released, such as ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Woolly World}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Crafted World}}'', the only baby shown in these particular games is Baby Bowser. As a result, these installments have slightly different plotlines in comparison to the ''Yoshi's Island'' sub-series, but take place in the past as well.

 

The signature aspect of the Yoshi species is the long, chameleon-like tongue. If a Yoshi catches a nearby enemy, it can either spit it back out or swallow it. Certain enemies can give a Yoshi different power ups while holding one in their mouths. Yoshi's Island introduced the concept of swallowed enemies turning into eggs that Yoshis lay. The Yoshi can then throw these eggs as projectile. Also in Yoshi's Island, Yoshis can flail around their arms and legs to hover for a short time, known as a flutter jump.
