Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yosshī) was confirmed to return as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. 4 during the April 8th, 2014 Super Smash Bros. Direct. He is among the first wave of amiibo figures. Yoshi is voiced by Kazumi Totaka.
Yoshi looks significantly more cartoony and somewhat re-proportioned, more closely resembling his recent appearances in the Mario and Yoshi games. His skin is now a bright green instead of the more reserved dark green skin present in Brawl.
Yoshi is a green denizen of Yoshi's Island and traditionally has been the sole representative of the Yoshi series. He was the last of the eight starting characters of Super Smash Bros. to be announced.
Changes from Brawl
Like Bowser, Yoshi now stands up straighter after having stood hunched over like a dinosaur in the previous Smash games. This is translated into his moveset, be it through a tweaked animation or through a completely new attack. The straighter pose also adjusts Yoshi's hitbox so that it is less awkwardly shaped.
Yoshi has been significantly buffed from Brawl. While his moves deal slightly less damage, they have more speed, utility, combo ability and K.O. ability, greatly increasing his offensive options; he can additionally now jump out of shield, which drastically improves his defensive game.
Aesthetics
- The eggs formed with Yoshi's on-screen appearance, shield, Egg Throw, and Egg Roll now match his selected color.
- Egg Throw now has a small rainbow when Yoshi throws the egg.
Attributes
- Yoshi is slightly lighter than in Brawl, now tied with Link and Captain Falcon.
- Yoshi is able to jump out of shield for the first time since the original SSB. This greatly expands his defensive options and allows him to combat pressuring situations with much greater ease than in Brawl. [1]
- Yoshi's double jump now decelerates after starting at full speed.
Ground attacks
- Neutral attack hit 1 can now set up moves more reliably, particularly up smashes.
- Forward and down tilts have been sped up.
- Up and down tilts deal less damage.
- Yoshi has a new dash attack: a running kick. Compared to the old headbutt, it has more range, less lag, and a longer slide afterwards.
- All smashes deal less damage.
- Yoshi has a new up smash: a backflip kick similar to Fox's. Compared to the old headbutt, it is faster with more knockback.
- New up smash cannot hit behind Yoshi.
- Down smash has much stronger knockback, and is now a reliable KOing move again (although it's not as powerful as it was in Melee).
Aerial attacks
- All aerials except up aerial deal less damage.
- Forward aerial is much faster.
- Back aerial now has a more accentuated final hit and hits connect better.
- Back aerial now only hits three times as opposed to four.
- Down aerial's final blow now hits grounded opponents horizontally, which makes the move safer to use on grounded, non-shielding opponents. The animation is also significantly faster.
- Down aerial's final hit sends aerial opponents upwards, removing its potential of meteor smashing.
Throws/other attacks
- Yoshi has lost his air release chain grab.
Special moves
- Egg Roll no longer puts Yoshi into a helpless state.
- Thrown eggs travel faster and no longer have finite trowing angles.
- Thrown eggs deal less damage.
- Yoshi Bomb has been given KOing potential again, restoring its niche as a situational finisher and a potent surprise tactic.
- Yoshi no longer vocalises when performing Yoshi Bomb.

Trophies
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS trophy descriptions
- Yoshi
- NA As dependable a partner as one could hope for, Yoshi often aids Mario in his adventures. Yoshi can swallow just about anything and make an egg of it instantly. He's got some serious airborne power, making launching opponents skyward and then following up with more attacks a wise choice.
- PAL: They say man's best friends is a dog, but Mario's may well be Yoshi. He lives on Yoshi's Island, and can swallow up just about anything, then lay it as an egg. In this game, jumping is his forte - he can leap really high, then quickly land again, making chasing after launched opponents and getting in sneaky follow-up strikes easy.
- Yoshi (Alt.)
- NA: Yoshi's up special move Egg Throw is a projectile attack that travels farther the longer the button is held. Yoshi will also rise a bit if this move is used in midair. The side special Egg Roll turns Yoshi into a rolling, damaging egg. Yoshi won't roll off an edge if no directions are pressed.
- PAL: When you use the Egg Throw up special, how far Yoshi throws the egg depends on how long you hold the button. In mid-air, the move also makes him rise a bit. Egg Roll, a side special, sends him rolling inside an egg. If you don't control him while he's rolling, he'll stop just before he rolls off the edge of a platform.
