About Yoshi in brief

Summary YoshiYoshi is a fictional dinosaur who appears in video games published by Nintendo. Yoshi debuted in Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as Mario and Luigi’s sidekick. Yoshi belongs to the species of the same name, which is characterized by their variety of colors. Nintendo had wanted Mario to have a dinosaur companion ever since the first release of Super Mario Bros. ; however, it was not possible because of the limitations of the NES. The inspiration for Yoshi can be traced back further, to the green dragon Tamagon in the 1984 video game Devil World: both are green lizards that hatch from eggs and can eat enemies with their large mouth, and also emit the same noise when they hatch. The version of Yoshi seen in the SuperMario Bros. film was made using a 0. 91-metre-tall animatronic dinosaur. The creation of Yoshi was handled by a company independent from the filmmakers. Yoshi has a variety of abilities that stand out relative to other characters in the Mario series. His prehensile tongue can extend a considerable distance to eat enemies, grab distant objects, or act as a grappling hook to access otherwise out-of-reach areas. After eating an enemy or object, Yoshi may either spit it out as an attack, or swallow it to instantly turn it into a distinctive spotted egg, and depending on the game they either explode on impact or ricochet off surfaces. He can form an egg around himself, which can be used for protection as a shield against attacks or for mobility by rolling or launching himself.

His special shots tend to leave a rainbow trail behind the ball or involve rainbows in some other way. In some games this is a characteristic of Yoshi’s natural color, while in others it is a status gained by eating certain fruit or flowers, which may often appear in multiplayer games as well. Yoshi is indestructible; he can walk freely over spikes, does more damage to enemies when jumped over, and can take any number of hits without any penalty. In games where the player can ride Yoshi, he acts as an extra point; taking damage causes the player to be knocked off-screen instead of being knocked off instead of any other negative effects. In sports games, he can run around haphazardly until he is remounted or falls off screen. He also appears in many of the Mario spin-off games, including Mario Party and Mario Kart, various Mario sports games,. and Nintendo’s crossover fighting game series Super Smash Bros. The Yoshi species appear in a range of colors, which are generally a cosmetic difference used to differentiate individuals. The color of a Yoshi can also provide additional offensive or movement abilities, such as fiery breath, balloon-like inflation, or juice-spitting. In multiplayer games, Yoshi’s of various colors often appear often in games such as Mario Kart or Mario Party, and may not have unique statistics from the default green color from the game. The character can also be used as an offensive weapon, and, as demonstrated in the series, may be used to collect or damage opponents.
