Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yosshī) is a character appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He appears relatively unchanged, except for one thing--he can now use his Egg Toss as a recovery move (though it only gives him a very small boost). His smashes appear less powerful, but his aerials and tilts are slightly more powerful. He has also taken on his upright posture and his appearance is like the younger Yoshi in Yoshi's Story. He appears to be slightly larger now in relation to the human-sized characters as well.

Changes from Melee to Brawl

• Egg Toss can be used as a recovery move, though provides a very slight boost
• New Forward Tilt
• Aerials and tilts are slightly stronger
• Smashes are slightly weaker

• Grab is sightly faster
• Stance is different than in Melee
