Yoshi: Difference between revisions

The is followed by the next event in the ''Yoshi'' canon, ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's New Island}}'', where upon arriving at its supposed destination, the stork discovers that the family living there were not expecting. This mishap results in the stork once again being attacked by Kamek and his Toadies, who recapture Baby Luigi while Baby Mario falls to {{s|mariowiki|Egg Island}}, which is home to another group of Yoshis. Much like their counterparts on Yoshi's Island, this group of Yoshis bands together to reunite the baby Mario Bros. and stop Baby Bowser from turning Egg Island into his own personal resort.

Meanwhile, it is revealed that [[Bowser]] traveled back in time to extract the star children's stars in order to use their power to rule the universe. By extension, it is also revealed that the Kamek and Toadies that kidnapped the babies were not from the past, but rather came from the present, alongside Bowser. However, a squabble between the Baby and present day Bowsers results in Bowser inadvertently causing his infant self to fall out of his castle, land on a Yoshi's back, and thus create an uneasy alliance between {{s|mariowiki|Baby Bowser}} (who is a star child himself) and his longtime foes.

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 Bowser himself, 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 {{s|mariowiki|Yoshi}} 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 been released, such as ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Story}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi Topsy-Turvy}}'', ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Woolly World}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Yoshi's Crafted World}}'' - these titles appear to take place in alternate timelines from the ''Yoshi's Island'' games, often introducing new one-off characters and lore elements, such as the [[Super Happy Tree]] that provides the Yoshis of ''Story'' their undying optimism, and taking place in worlds made to appear homemade out of materials such as cardboard and wool. The only baby shown in these particular games is Baby Bowser, though in ''Topsy-Turvy'', adult Bowser is featured instead. Adult Bowser also appears in ''Tetris Attack'', and makes surprise appearances through time travel in ''Yoshi's Island DS'' and ''Yoshi's New Island'', the latter of which also has adult Mario making a time travel appearance as Mr. Pipe, an assistant character.
