Yoshi is a fictional dinosaur who appears in video games published by Nintendo. Yoshi debuted in Super Mario World (1990) on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System as Mario and Luigi's sidekick. Yoshi is the title character of the Yoshi series and a supporting character in Mariospin-off games such as Mario Party and Mario Kart, as well as many Mario sports games. It also appears as a playable character in crossover fighting game Super Smash Bros. series. Yoshi is a member of the same-named species, which is distinguished for its wide range of colors.
Yoshi was well-received, with some critics noting that he is one of the most recognizable characters and one of the best sidekicks in video games. Yoshi's image has also appeared on a range of products, including clothes and collectibles.
He will be voiced by David Lopez in the 2023 film, and (for now) appears as an animatronic in Super Nintendo World.
Yoshi first appears as a cameo character in the first film via his egg. He was given as a gift during Bowser and Peach's wedding by a Shy Guy. Later, his egg was pulled into the sewers of Brooklyn offscreen, because of the Bomber Bill's explosion in the warp zone.
Later in the post-credits scene of the movie, his egg starts to hatch in the sewers, as he bellows out his name.
