'''Super Dragon''' is [[Yoshi (SSBB)|Yoshi]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[SSBB]]''. He grows wings and is able to fly freely, and can do about 8% damage by touching his opponent. If no buttons are pushed for about three seconds, Yoshi will start to breath a continuous stream of fire which causes very heavy damage (up to 66%). In addition, he can shoot fireballs, that do about 25% damage each, by pressing either the neutral attack button or the special attack button. The Final Smash lasts about 20 seconds.
'''Super Dragon''' ({{ja|スーパードラゴン|Sūpā Doragon}}, ''Super Dragon'') is [[Yoshi]]'s [[Final Smash]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.
 
==Overview==
Yoshi grows wings and takes off. In this state he can fly freely, and deals 8%{{GameIcon|SSBB}}/3%{{GameIcon|SSB4}} [[damage]] to opponents by simply touching them. Pressing either attack button makes Yoshi shoot high-knockback fireballs that do 17% in ''Brawl'' and in ''Smash 4'' it deals 18% early on before decreasing to 14% and eventually 12%. In ''Brawl'' the fireballs immediately explode on contact with a player, while in ''Smash 4'' they can pass through multiple players. If no buttons are pushed for about three{{GameIcon|SSBB}}/two{{GameIcon|SSB4}} seconds, Yoshi will start to breathe a continuous stream of fire. In ''Brawl'' Yoshi breathes out a flame every 6 [[frame]]s (0.1 seconds) and deals 6% each hit, while in ''Smash 4'' Yoshi creates a flame every 12 frames (0.2 seconds) and deals 6% close-up, 4% at midrange, and 3% at the furthest points. This Final Smash lasts about 20 seconds and Yoshi is invincible for its entire duration.

==Origin==
This move is based off of the various powers that Yoshi could get in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' by holding certain types of Koopa shells in his mouth, or being a different Yoshi color. Eating a blue shell allowed Yoshi to fly, eating a red shell allowed him to spit fireballs, eating a yellow shell caused him to make mini-earthquakes each time he landed, and eating a flashing shell caused Yoshi to do all three, similar to Super Dragon, but once he spat fire he would revert back to normal. The mini-earthquakes are not present in [[Brawl]] and Yoshi can breathe fire as many times as he wishes. The color "costume" of Yoshi in ''Brawl'' does not affect the attack in any way.

In ''Super Mario World'', Yoshis of a color other than green gain the power given by the corresponding shell color while holding any shell; this does not happen in ''Smash''.


The name possibly comes from this game too. If the sign at Yoshi's hut is hit after Bowser has been beaten, it will say 'Super Dragon Yoshi' at the bottom. Considering Final Smashes where intended for the original Super Smash Brothers, this could've been a reference to the intended move.
The name comes from ''Super Mario World'' as well: In the Japanese version the message block at {{s|supermariowiki|Yoshi's House}} is signed "Super Dragon Yoshi"; this is changed to simply "Yoshi" in localized versions. In the GBA remake, once the game has been completed the message block changes to one signed by "Super Dragon Yoshi" in all versions.

Origin[edit]

Official art of Yoshi spitting fire in Super Mario World.

This move is based on the various powers that Yoshi could obtain in Super Mario World by holding Koopa shells in his mouth, depending on the color of the Koopa shell. Holding a Blue Shell gives Yoshi wings and allows him to fly, holding a Red Shell allows him to spit it out as fireballs, holding a Yellow Shell makes him create mini-earthquakes each time he lands, and holding a flashing shell allows Yoshi to do all three. Super Dragon is presumably based off of this last effect, although the mini-earthquakes are not present and Yoshi can breathe fire or spit fireballs as many times as he wishes while the Final Smash is in effect. In Super Mario World, Yoshis of a color other than green gain the power given by the corresponding shell color while holding any shell; this does not happen in Smash.

The name comes from Super Mario World as well: In the Japanese version the message block at Yoshi's House is signed "Super Dragon Yoshi"; this is changed to simply "Yoshi" in localized versions. In the GBA remake, once the game has been completed the message block changes to one signed by "Super Dragon Yoshi" in all versions.
