Yoshi

Yoshi has kept busy appearing in many titles since debuting in Super Mario World. Yoshi can flutter jump and has a long tongue that can gobble up apples and enemies. Yoshis can be a variety of colors.

Yoshi made his debut in Super Mario World, where Yoshi was trapped inside an egg by Bowser and freed by Mario.

Yoshi is the namesake of the NES title Yoshi. Yoshi later appeared in Yoshi's Cookie and Tetris Attack, both for the SNES. Mario & Yoshi was the first puzzle game to feature Yoshi as its main star. He later featured in Yoshi's Cookie and Tetris Attack, too.

This move grabs opponents with Yoshi's tongue and traps them in an egg. They'll take less damage while trapped, but you can hit them all you like!

Opponents that have taken a lot of damage have more trouble escaping from eggs. This means you may be able to swallow them and lay them in an egg off the edge of the stage.

The more damage Yoshi's foes have accumulated, the longer they'll be stuck as an egg. They can escape faster by wiggling around.

This move turns Yoshi into an egg that rolls along the ground. The faster it goes, the more powerful it'll be.

You can start this move in the air, but you won't deal any damage until you hit the ground.

How hard Yoshi throws the egg depends on how long you hold the button down. Tap for a light throw or hold for a powerful one.

You can throw the egg straight up by inputting the direction Yoshi's facing away from just before throwing. Fake out your foes with this technique.

Unlike other fighters, Yoshi doesn't have a vertical move used mainly for recovering. However, Yoshi will flutter a little bit if this move is used in midair.

The damage and launching power of the Yoshi Bomb are both a little higher when used on the ground.

Yoshi Bomb is great for breaking shields. Start off with multiple neutral attacks, and then use Yoshi Bomb to finish that shield off.

At the start of the move, Yoshi will automatically pass through platforms. During the move, keep the stick tilted down to pass through all platforms until Yoshi lands.

A mighty Yoshi army stampedes through the stage. Fighters hit by the stampede will be launched. You can hit up to three fighters.

Yoshi charges up for a moment and then delivers a powerful headbutt. If you hit opponents from above, they'll fly down with a meteor effect.

This attack is very powerful if the foe is directly beneath Yoshi. It can hit an opponent multiple times, so try your best to catch them right at the start of the attack for maximum damage!

Unlike other fighters, Yoshi's shield is an all-protecting egg. Even if the shield blocks attacks, it won't get smaller and Yoshi's body won't poke out from the shield.

Yoshi's midair jump won't stop if a foe attacks Yoshi in the middle of it. It's more difficult to withstand attacks with high launching power, though, so be careful if your damage is high!
