“	Yoshi knocks down opponents with a tackle. Then, Yoshis of various colors appear and send the opponent flying! The first tackle can affect up to three opponents, be sure not to KO yourself if you miss everyone.	”
—Description from Ultimate's Move List

Stampede! (あつまれヨッシー, Yoshis Assemble) or Yoshi Stampede is Yoshi's Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

Yoshi rears back and dashes straight forward. If it connects with an opponent, Yoshi will headbutt the opponent and a cutscene will initiate where the opponent appears in a lying position in a deserted, rocky gorge. Suddenly, the ground starts to shake as a stampede of giant multicolored Yoshis appear in the distance, running towards the prone opponents. The Yoshis emerge as they trample the opponent. Unlike other similar Final Smashes, Yoshi will stop and attack the first opponent he comes into contact with. However, up to three opponents can be trapped, but they must be close together. The headbutt deals 5%, and the Stampede deals 43.4%, totaling the damage to 48.4%.

Origin

The stampede in Melee's opening.

Stampede closely resembles a clip from Super Smash Bros. Melee's opening movie, where a stampede of multicolored Yoshis pass through a rocky gorge.

The Mini-Yoshi's Stampede attack.

Stampede is also an attack used by Mini-Yoshi in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It calls a massive herd of Yoshis that will stampede (hence the name) on all enemies, as it does in Ultimate. However, The Thousand-Year Door came out after Melee, so it's likely that the move as it appears in that game is based on Melee's opening movie as well.
