Seriously why isn't the tax fraud meme on this page at all! That is just strange as it is arguably one of the most noticeable things about this character in recent years.

Nothing came out of the story anyway. He made an out of court settlement with Nintendo and the IRS prior to the release of Yoshi's Crafted World.^[1] —pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 18:39, 15 April 2019 (UTC)

Aparently they're androgynous. Throwaway85 (talk) 05:17, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Yoshi himself is a male, this can be verified in many sources. The species is, obviously, androgynous. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 05:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

I think it's more like both males and females of the yoshi species lay eggs Booger-mike (talk) 00:33, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

I think it's worth mentioning that "yoshi" is also the name of his species. Booger-mike (talk) 00:33, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Is there an official source for that?--Mr Fink (talk) 02:58, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

he/she lays eggs but i cant figure it out —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.234.47.82 (talk) 15:28, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

As a specific character, Nintendo has made it very clear that Yoshi's male; unlike Catherine they have not backtracked on the gender claim. —Jeremy ^{(v^_^v Boribori!)} 23:43, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

The article refers to Yoshi both as female and male -- even in the first paragraph: "Her debut was in Super Mario World (1990) on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System[4] as Mario and Luigi's sidekick (a role he has often reprised)". One of the article's categories is "female game characters". Doesn't this need a cleanup? I don't have all the knowledge or references on the issue, but the article is really confusing on this aspect. Erikvcl (talk) 19:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Done At the very minimum, the gender pronouns in the sentence now match and the category has been removed. --McDoobAU93 20:19, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Yoshi is canonically male, Yoshis are able to lay eggs regardless of gender Booger-mike (talk) 17:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

The current one is from Crafted World, a game with a different style from the others. Other recent games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Mario Tennis Aces depict him in a much more typical way; a picture from one of those would be more relevant. DemonDays64 (talk) 19:49, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

I am not sure how to fix this, but there is a lot of repetition in the “concept and creation” section. First two paragraphs are essentially repeats of eachother. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1007:B127:80CB:C43:39FE:CDFF:2435 (talk) 21:03, 15 October 2021 (UTC)

At concept and creation section, remove this sentence as duplicate in first paragraph but don't remove the source at the end: "He again wanted to feature Yoshi in Super Mario Bros. 3, but was still unable to." Also remove the duplicate sentence on second paragraph including the source at the end of paragraph: "In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, he takes on the role of Baby Mario, which leads him to Bowser's Castle, where he is reunited with Baby Luigi. After defeating a massive Baby Bowser, Yoshi successfully reunites the twins just in time to return home." 210.121.129.159 (talk) 07:06, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

Also why does that tax fraud link appear below my post?Muur (talk) 04:03, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Because another thread on the page has the link formatted as a reference, and Wikipedia's coding has all references appear at the bottom of the page if it isn't controlled with a "{{reflist|}}" in a different section.--Mr Fink (talk) 05:04, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

This is wrong. Satoru Iwata, a former CEO of Nintendo, said in an interview that Yoshi is a dinosaur. --Veilure (talk) 17:31, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

According to this interview on Nintendo's official website, Takashi Tezuka said, "I kind of forced the design though, saying, 'It's related to turtles.'". And according to Hisashi Nogami, what's on Yoshi's back is "a shell". --AsuTW (talk) 19:00, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

Please consider the change from "Yoshi is a fictional dinosaur" to "Yoshi is a fictional character created in the image of turtles".

I have stated the reason in the talk page Talk:Yoshi#Turtle, but I will also paste it here:

According to this interview on Nintendo's official website, Takashi Tezuka said, "I kind of forced the design though, saying, 'It's related to turtles.'". And according to Hisashi Nogami, what's on Yoshi's back is "a shell".

 Not done For a character as popular as Yoshi there's bound to be the occasional contradictory claim or quote here or there. The current consensus of Yoshi being a dinosaur in the article is well sourced. Satellizer el Bridget ^(Talk) 13:13, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

This article should say something about the fact that in Super Mario World, Yoshi can get powers by eating red, yellow, blue, and flashing, Koopa Troopa shells. More about that is detailed here: https://www.mariowiki.com/Yoshi#Super_Mario_World

I can not edit it because the page is protected.

This was already discussed in the past, albeit very shortly, but I feel that the previous consensus has since been forgotten. It seems as tho people assume that Yoshi is a dinosaur becuz he's from Dinosaur Island (which, to be fair, makes perfect sense). However, the coins with Yoshi's face on them are "Dragon Coins", in Super Mario Galaxy 2 he calls himself a "Yoshi the Space Dragon", and in the Smash Bros. series his ultimate move (a "Final Smash") is "Super Dragon". Are there any examples of Nintendo (not of America) calling him a dinosaur, or any examples from NoA in recent times? I know NoA/NoE called him a dinosaur back in the Toadstool days, but I don't think they call him that anymore.Linkdude20002001 (talk) 00:02, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Apparently, Yoshi is neither. Yoshi is the species. There are multiple Yoshis. This can be seen in Super Mario World (where you save many Yoshis after beating a boss), Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (the Yoshis work together to protect Baby Mario) and different-coloured Yoshis are alternate costumes in Mario Kart 8. So apparently, Yoshi is a Yoshi. YaRightThereNeymarSunnyInnit (talk) 18:33, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

However, I would say Yoshi is a dinosaur. YaRightThereNeymarSunnyInnit (talk) 18:35, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

The quote in question from the Nintendo character guide that gives Yoshi's name as "T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas" may in fact be satirical, judging from it giving Mario's species as "homo nintendonus". Given this quote, can we definitively call the Nintendo character guide in question a valid source? ONR (talk) 01:51, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Looking at it in context, it is clearly a spoof of scientific names. Instead of Homo Sapiens Spaiens, it is "Homo Nintendonus" and so on. Treating it as the character's "real name" is giving it undue weight. Ozdarka (talk) 05:07, 14 August 2015 (UTC)

This appears to be becoming a thing again ... let's continue the discussion to determine if this actually belongs in the article. --McDoobAU93 13:52, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Just wondering if the T. in Yoshi's full name is T. for Tyrannosaurus. Since that would be in line with the Latin way of writing the name which is often abbreviated when known. I know we have no way to verify, but seems to me to be the closest fit and he does kinda look like a baby T. Rex Skippingrock (talk) 19:21, 17 December 2022 (UTC)

The article is entirely missing reference to the 1997 game Yoshi’s Story. Suggest the following paragraph be added in the “Appearances” section, directly following the par that describes Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island:

Baby Mario was entirely absent from follow-up Yoshi’s story, in which Baby Bowser steals a tree that is the source of the Yoshis’ happiness, and turns their world into a picture book. Six eggs survive, and hatch into baby Yoshis who become the protagonists of the game, which is a more puzzle oriented platformer than its predecessor.

I believe there are two different Yoshis who have been mistakenly thought to be the same character.

In Yoshi's Island DS, a green baby Yoshi makes an appearance as the seventh star child. Given his green coloration and star child status, it's clear that this baby Yoshi is the very same Yoshi that the grown-up Mario Bros would later rescue and ally with in Super Mario World and subsequent Super Mario games.

The Yoshi who appears in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, aiding a baby Mario and becoming the protagonist of the Yoshi's Island series, is evidently a separate individual. This Yoshi is a fully grown adult, having been born long ago.

In summary, there are two distinct Yoshis: one baby Yoshi whose birth was shown in the ending of Yoshi's Island DS who grows up to ally with Mario, and the other, a full-grown Yoshi from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and the subsequent Yoshi's Island series. Therefore I believe some alteration need to be made on this article, to help distinguish the two characters apart. Librarian wolf (talk) 21:27, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

This edit request to Yoshi has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

The paragraph about Yoshi's appearance in Super Mario Bros. Wonder is irrelevant as the game has been released three months ago. Change it to something like "Yoshi appears in Super Mario Bros. Wonder as a playable character for the first time since Super Mario 64 DS, along with red, yellow, and blue variants. Unlike the other playable characters, the Yoshis retain their exclusive abilities". Anyway, thanks! 2603:6010:8B00:44FF:5F4D:2540:71A7:3643 (talk) 01:31, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
