'''Yoshi''' ({{ja|ヨッシー|Yosshī}}, ''Yoshi'') is a character in the {{uv|Mario}} series. Since his debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario World}}'' as an ally of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], Yoshi's popularity has resulted in him starring in [[Yoshi (universe)|his own series]], which follows the adventures of Yoshi and/or [[mariowiki:Yoshi (species)|his eponymous species]].

As a member of the "[[Fighter#"Perfect-attendance crew"|perfect-attendance crew]]", Yoshi has been featured as a playable character throughout the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series.

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 [[Koopa Troopa]] shell in their mouths. Blue Yoshi can fly, Red Yoshi can spit out 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 spit out Fireballs. By extension, the other three Yoshis can do the same.

Yoshi has reprised his steed roles in later ''Mario'' titles, both in 2D games such as ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' and ''Super Mario Maker'', and in 3D games such as ''Super Mario Sunshine'' and ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''. Yoshi has, on three occasions, also been playable on his own in ''Mario'' platformer titles - in ''Super Mario 64 DS'', where he is the starter character and is tasked with rescuing Mario, in ''Super Mario Run'', where a variety of colors can be unlocked by recruiting Toads in the "Toad Rally" mode, and in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'', where he can be used both as a playable character and a steed.

Yoshi has long been a popular staple of the multiplayer ''Mario'' spin-off games, where he has typically been a speedy character and is often paired with fellow dinosaur [[Birdo]] from the American ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (implied in certain titles to be his girlfriend). Many games also let players choose from a variety of different Yoshi colors.

Despite Baby Wario and Baby Bowser leaving the group because of a desire for money and a retrieval by present day Kamek, respectively, the Yoshis nevertheless arrive at Baby Bowser's castle. Upon doing so, they reunite with Baby Wario, who sought Baby Bowser's treasure. Together, the green, pink, yellow and purple Yoshis band together with the remaining four babies to defeat Baby Bowser and then adult Bowser, thus foiling Bowser's plan and saving Baby Luigi and the rest of the kidnapped babies. Although the seventh and final star child is not encountered by the Yoshis, Bowser or Kamek, the ending reveals the final star child to be a newly hatched green {{s|mariowiki|Baby Yoshi}}, thus strongly implying him to be the very same Yoshi character that the grown up Mario Bros. would go on to rescue and ally with in ''Super Mario World'' and subsequent ''Mario'' games.

Several other ''Yoshi'' platformer games have also been released, seemingly outside of the main ''Yoshi's Island'' series. ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'' tells the story of a group of Yoshi hatchlings who must retrieve the [[Super Happy Tree]] that provides their adult counterparts with their undying optimism from Baby Bowser, ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi Topsy-Turvy}}'', a gyrometer-based game, introduces a set of mostly human-like characters known as the Yoshi Island Spirits, who Yoshi must complete missions from to prove he is worthy of taking on the adult Bowser, ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Woolly World}}'' features a group of Yoshis made of wool who work together to rescue one another after being scattered as bundles of yarn by Kamek and Baby Bowser, and ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Crafted World}}'' has the Yoshis recover pieces of the wish-granting Sundream Stone from Baby Bowser and Kamek. These titles all take place in worlds made to appear homemade out of materials such as cardboard and wool. The only baby character shown in these particular games is Baby Bowser.

*Yoshi's punching victory pose is likely a humorous reference to one of {{iw|wikipedia|Akuma|Street Fighter}}'s victory poses or his Raging Demon ({{ja|瞬獄殺|Shun Goku Satsu}}, ''Blinking Prison Killer''), which concludes with [http://streetfighter.wikia.com/wiki/File:SF4_SGS_(Super).jpg an identical pose].
