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. | |||
