Information about Yoshi

Yoshi is a fictional character from some Nintendo video games. He is Mario's
dinosaur friend, first appearing in Super Mario World for the Super Famicom
in his Japanese release. His North American and European debutes came on the
SNES.Yoshi was created by Shigefumi Hino, a graphics designer and the
director of Pikmin. The reason why he was created was that shortly after
Shigeru Miyamoto finished Super Mario Bros, Nintendo's design staff wanted
Mario to ride a dinosaur. That concept was technically impossible until the
SNES was developed.

After that he gained popularity, starring in two more adventure games, Super
Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Story and three puzzle games,
Yoshi, Yoshi's Cookie, and Tetris Attack, as well as Mario Is Missing and a
few other games. He mainly graced the SNES. He is one of the characters in
the original N64 Super Smash Bros. and the GameCube version, Super Smash
Bros. Melee. Yoshi made a cameo in Super Mario 64, and was playable in Super
Mario Sunshine. Yoshi has attained a popularity almost as great as that of
Mario himself. Yoshis appear in different colors, which are green, yellow,
red, pink, teal, orange, blue, purple, black, and white. The black and white
Yoshis are rare. Green is the standard color of a Yoshi, so green Yoshi is
simply called a plain old Yoshi. The king in the castle World 7 of Super
Mario Bros 3 was transformed into a Yoshi on the Super Mario All Stars SNES
version, but he was transformed into a Piranha Plant on the original NES
version. Yoshi inhabit many areas of the world from the Mushroom Kingdom to
Isle Delfino. Yoshis are all named Yoshi.

In Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, Yoshi is the only
character without a third jump move. He uses his trademark swallow move to
swallow his opponents temporarily encasing them in eggs. He also has an
unlimited supply of eggs. The Super Stomp move can knock out the DK Hammer
item from the opponent's grip. For a throw move, Yoshi stuffs his opponents
onto his mouth instead of grabbing them. The Egg Roll move is exclusive to
Super Smash Bros. Melee.
