Yoshi (ヨッシー, Yosshī, sometimes Romanized Yossy in earlier Japanese language materials) is a major character in the Mario series who eventually spun off into its own series.

Yoshi makes his first appearance in a fighting game in the original Super Smash Bros. as a starting playable character. As the twelve-character roster goes, Yoshi is arguably the most unique. Not only does his shield not follow the same laws as other shields, but he lacks a triple jump - which he makes up for with a massive and generally safe double jump. These unique points make Yoshi a bit difficult for beginners to learn.

Yoshi's in-game description reads:

Yoshi

Yoshi is the friendly dinosaur of Yoshi's Island. He began as Mario's partner, but has since built his own identity, and now appears in many games. He uses his unique ability to turn whatever he swallows into an egg as his foremost attack, Yoshis come in a rainbow of colors and are said to have a high IQ from a very early age.

Yoshi returns in Melee as a starting playable character. Yoshi stays relatively unchanged, but is given a few new visual properties, such as a more realistic dinosaur posture and several new, unique techniques such as edge-canceled eggs. Although Yoshi can continue to double jump cancel, he continues to lack a third jump and is still unable to jump out of his shield, two things that are hard to simply brush off. That said, his unique shield physics, agile yet heavy frame, and somewhat powerful attacks are not to be shunned.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Main Article: Yoshi (SSBB)

Yoshi once again returns as a playable character in Brawl. He appears in his more recent cartoony stand-up look from the Mario Sports and Party games. His moves are relatively unchanged from his Melee moveset, except for the fact that his Up-B, the Egg Toss, now acts somewhat as a third jump, as it has been seen to give him a little extra air/stall time. This is welcome addition for Yoshi, especially since the directional airdodge seen in Melee has been removed, which previously aided Yoshi in his recovery. He also keeps the unique ability to be able to resist knockback during his second jump.

Trophies

Yoshi has a trophy that is awarded each time the Classic mode is completed with Yoshi on any difficulty. See Super Dragon for the trophy description of Yoshi's Final Smash:

Yoshi

A creature that hails from Yoshi's Island. Yoshis come in a variety of colors, and all possess gentle personalities. No matter what problems they face, they always look like they're having fun. Yoshis use their long tongues to grab and swallow fruit and enemies. They can convert what they swallow into eggs, which they then lay. They also give Mario rides.

Trivia

• Despite characters like Donkey Kong, Bowser and Diddy Kong all using realistic noises in Smash Bros, Yoshi still maintains his regular cartoonish noises from his games (though Yoshi using realistic dinosaur noises would be unfitting for his character).
• Coincidentally, Yoshi is currently ranked 5th from last in both the N64 and Melee tier lists.
• In Yoshi's original games, different colored Yoshis could obtain special powers by eating a shell. Yoshi's Final Smash demonstrates those of the blue and red Yoshi's; flying and breathing fireballs.
