Yoshi's design in the Super Smash Bros. series is similar to the older style used in his games predating Super Mario 64. His shield is an egg as opposed to a bubble (Instead of shrinking, Yoshi's egg-shield turns steadily darker until he can no longer hold it out), and he lacks a true third jump, though he still can jump higher and stay in the air longer by a rapid movement of feet. Despite his lack of a third jump, his flutter jump is the largest second jump in the game. Other second jumps that come close to Yoshi's flutter jump are Kirby, Ness, Mewtwo, Jigglypuff, and Princess Peach. The flutter jump also gives Yoshi resistance to being knocked away. His air dodge in Melee can substitute as a third jump. In both games, Yoshi is a fast and heavy character with a unique playstyle and strong jumping ability. His symbol is a Yoshi Egg.
His trademark moves are centered around eggs. He can swallow opponents and lay them in eggs, and can throw explosive eggs from an inexhaustible supply. Melee introduced the "Egg Roll", in which he rolls around in a fast-moving egg. This can be a very powerful move if used correctly. The Egg Roll was copied to Mario Power Tennis as a Defensive Shot, which made Yoshi change colors. It also reveals that Yoshi uses his tail as his main form of physical attack. He uses it in a large number of his attacks including his powerful downward smash.
In the third installment of the series, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Yoshi's Island stage has been shown (this time, based on Super Mario World 2 rather than Yoshi's Story as in the previous installments. On the June 4th update on the official Super Smash Bros. Brawl website a new music score known as "Yoshi's Story: End" was added to the list of music from the game, complete with Yoshi's "egg" symbol. Recently, there has also been a Yoshi's Island stage announced for Brawl (with changing seasons, confirming the Winter Yoshi's Island stage will actually be in the game). On Tuesday, July 24, 2007, Yoshi was officially confirmed for Brawl and it was revealed that he can now use his up-B Move as a third jump.
Special Moves
Final Smash
- Super Dragon: this is a fusion of Yoshi's abilities that he could get in Super Mario World and Yoshi's Island. While in Super Dragon state, Yoshi grows wings and can breathe fire.
Supspace Emissary
Yoshi appears in the Subspace Emissary along Link in the beginning portion. Right after Link thrusts the Master Sword from the stone, he and Navi will pass by a Yoshi, who at the time is sleeping on a chopped log. Following this, the Halberd will pass over the two and will release Primid. Yoshi and Link then will team up to take down the foe.

Trophies
Classic Yoshi trophy
To unlock this trophy you must complete classic mode as Yoshi.
Yoshis are gentle, fleet-of-foot dinosaurs that make their home on idyllic Yoshi's Island. They come in a variety of colors and have evolved an interesting trait to help increase their numbers: they can transform anything they swallow into an egg. With adhesive tongues and bottomless bellies, Yoshis have been known to eat anything.
Red Smash Yoshi trophy
To unlock this trophy you must complete adventure mode as Yoshi.
To make up for his lack of powerful airborne attacks, Yoshi has a miraculous jumping ability and is resistant to damage while in the air. Yoshi can also swallow a foe and transform him or her into an egg: try doing this close to an edge! The speed and power of the Egg Roll increases if you hold down the B Button, but it'll be tougher to control.
Blue Smash Yoshi trophy
To unlock this trophy you must complete all-star mode as Yoshi.
Yoshi has no third jump, so the timing of his second jump is of vital importance. The angle and distance of his Egg Throw can be altered by how you tilt the Control Stick and how long you press the B Button. When Yoshi lands after doing his Yoshi Bomb, stars appear on either side of him, making it hard for enemies to deliver counterattacks.
Yoshi (Brawl)
"A creature that hails from Yoshi's Island. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, and all possess gentle personalities. No matter what problems they face, they always look like they're having fun. Yoshis use their long tongues to grab and swallow fruit and enemies. They can convert what they swallow into eggs, which they then lay. They also give Mario rides."
Yoshi (Final Smash)
"Yoshi with wings on his back that give him the power to fly freely across the sky. In this state, he can spew giant fireballs. He is more mobile and powerful, but the inertia makes movement quirky, so it takes some skill to master flight. Yoshi returns to a normal state after a set period of time has passed."
