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.
