Yoshi has been confirmed to return as a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. 4, revealed during the April 8th, 2014 Super Smash Bros. Direct. Like Bowser, Yoshi now stands up straighter after having stood hunched over like a dinosaur in the previous Smash games. Yoshi also looks significantly more cartoony and somewhat re-proportioned, more closely resembling his recent appearances in the Mario and Yoshi games.

Differences from previous games

• Yoshi's tail appears to grow larger for his tail based attacks, apparently increasing their reach.
• The following moves appear visually unchanged:
  • Forward tilt
  • Up tilt
  • Down smash
  • Egg Lay
  • Egg Roll
  • Yoshi Bomb
  • Up taunt
  • Down taunt
• Yoshi appears to have a new dash attack. He performs a dashing kick, similar to Fox's dash attack, while then tumbling over.
• Back aerial now has a more accentuated final hit.
• Down aerial's final blow now hits grounded opponents horizontally, which should make the move safer to use on grounded opponents.
• Egg Throw now has a small rainbow trail added when Yoshi throws the egg.
• The egg formed with Yoshi's shield now matches his selected color.
