Yoshi: Difference between revisions

Alongside Yoshi himself, three differently colored Yoshis also appear, each of which has a distinct special ability that can be used so long as they have a {{s|mariowiki|Koopa Troopa}} shell in their mouths. Blue Yoshi can fly, Red Yoshi can breathe Fireballs, and Yellow Yoshi can emit a {{s|mariowiki|sand cloud}} after landing a jump. While Yoshi himself does not have any distinct special abilities, he can use each of the three other Yoshis' abilities by holding a shell of the same color as the respective Yoshi, such as a red shell allowing him to breathe Fireballs. By extension, the other three Yoshis can do the same.

Due to Shigeru Miyamoto's dislike of subsequent ''Yoshi'' games, he aimed to make a game starring Yoshi that was authentic to his character.<ref>''The Ultimate History of Video Games: The Story Behind the Craze that Touched our Lives and Changed the World'', p. 518.</ref> This game would come to be known as ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island}}'', which saw a myriad of differently colored members of the species appear. The Yoshis' ability to eat virtually anything was expanded to include the ability to create Yoshi Eggs capable of being [[mariowiki:Egg Throw|thrown]]. In addition, Yellow Yoshi's sand cloud-generating jump was modified into a {{s|mariowiki|Ground Pound}} usable by all other Yoshis. Outside of these updated abilities, the Yoshis also gained the ability to {{s|mariowiki|Flutter Jump}}<ref name=YoshiDev/> and [[mariowiki:Morph Bubble|transform into certain vehicles]].
