About Yoshi:

Yoshis come in all sorts of colors, but Mario's close buddy debuted in green. Kind-hearted, naturally protective of others, and perpetually hungry, Yoshi is always up for adventure...especially if there are snacks involved. Yoshis can flutter their legs to jump incredibly high. They also have extremely long tongues that they use to snare fruit and even enemies - anything they swallow gets turned into throwable eggs.
