History[edit | edit source]

Mario and Yoshi series[edit | edit source]

Super Mario World[edit | edit source]

Yoshi's first appearance was in Super Mario World for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. He acted as Mario's steed. Yoshi will not enter Ghost Houses, castles, or fortresses. Yoshi acted as the generic Yoshi, having no special powers, unlike the Yellow Yoshi, Blue Yoshi, and Red Yoshi.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island[edit | edit source]

Yoshi also appeared in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, the prequel to the Mario series. Mario, being delivered to his parents by a stork, along with Luigi, were attacked by Kamek. Luigi was kidnapped, while Baby Mario fell from the sky. Thankfully, he landed on Yoshi's back. Yoshi took him to his friends, who all agreed to help the infant Mario rescue his brother and get back to his parents. Yoshi carries Baby Mario in the first level of each world, while other Yoshis carry him in other levels. However, Yoshi carries Baby Mario in the final level of the game, rather than a Blue Yoshi.
