In a 1993 character guide from Nintendo, they mention his full name is: T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas. I’m not surprised that didn’t stick

@Dark_Ego Год назад

*Munchakoopas* *Yep*

@marcusbullock630 Год назад

I think it's supposed to be his species name. Yoshisaurus munchakoopas, rather than an actual name. Its because yoshis are natural predators of koopas. Though a better species epithet would be koopaphagus

There's a creature in Chinese mythology called a dragon-turtle (or longgui). So in terms of whether Yoshi is a dragon or a turtle... both, I guess? This might also apply to Bowser.

@geschnitztekiste4111 Год назад

I feel like Bowser is more fitting for this, as his shell is more prominent and he can spit fire, a thing that typically only dragons can do

@MisterJang0 Год назад

Lóngguī are from Chinese mythology, and in Chinese mythology they're supposed to be good, just like lóng (Chinese dragons). Dragons in Western mythology however, unlike in Chinese mythology, are known for breathing fire, terrorizing people, and overall bad behavior. The medieval Western legends of the life of St. George include a story about him slaying a dragon to save a princess. Nintendo took from both Chinese and Western mythology to create Bowser. With the yoshis introduced in Super Mario World, however, Nintendo described them using the word "ドラゴン", which is just the English word "dragon" written in katakana; they don't describe them as a "ryū", the Japanese word for dragon referring to the Chinese type. Yoshis in SMW can sprout wings and fly and breathe fire, but only under special circumstances.

Honestly, the fact that Yoshi comes from Yoshi's Island (or Yo'ster Island) just implies that they're just an indigenous race of lizard-like creatures. maybe as an analogous comparison to Koopas. while Bowser did invade Dinosaur Island, there was already indiginous species of familiar enemies like Galoombas that are just regionally-similar to Goombas. though Goombas (and other species) appeared in Yoshi's Island which could just make them more biologically related; maybe clans of enemy types left with Bowser and wound up in the Mushroom Kingdom later on? Also the Yoshi that assists baby Mario in Island might have been implied to be the Yoshi Elder in Paper Mario, if only because it was mentioned that he met Raphael the Raven in the past (world 5-8. despite being made gigantic and into *a constellation*) however you fought him as Purple Yoshi. either that or possibly the Yoshi you bump into in Mario RPG (though more likely the one from World) since he seemed to recognize mario immediately (but mentions nothing of World). interesting note, Viridi mentions Megasmilax during Pirana Plant's palutena dialogue in Smash Ultimate despite RPG being non-canon. (to the extent that Geno was replaced in the Superstar Saga remake).

@TheMentok Год назад

The dialogue from Viridi, Palutena, Snake and Otacon is always so interesting and well thought out. Also, I thought about discussing the Yoshi Elder from Paper Mario as well because I always kinda assumed he was the original one from Yoshi's Island

RPG is 100% canon. The only non canon Mario games are things like Mario Hotel.

@frost8077 Год назад

I never thought of Yoshi as having a specific individual Yoshi, just random members of the species instead from game to game, but the idea of having one main Yoshi like you mentioned actually does make sense, similar to how there are several main character Pikachu to represent all Pikachus. (I think of the Smash Bros 64 Pikachu as being the Pikachu from Yellow and Stadium but I never put much thought into it.) As for my favorite version of Yoshi, I think Yoshi's Island will always be my definitive Yoshi. I still remember buying that game on the very first day at Target with a new controller and playing it almost nonstop for the following week. Getting 100 on every level and discovering the secret code as a kid was such a rewarding experience, as well as learning how to time the roulette to quickly max out my lives. The world and art style just seemed so much better than any other Yoshi game, but that's my taste anyways.

It was actually pretty difficult to track down evidence of multiple green Yoshis but definitely something I always wondered. Probably something Nintendo didn't figure was too important in the grand scheme of things though. Yoshi's Island is still my favorite in the series and its just so easy to hop back into all these years later.

@Mr.Peanut1986 Год назад

Yoshi's Island is my favorite Yoshi game, also. By far. I didn't play it until I was an adult, but it's a really beautiful game. You got 100 on EVERY level?!?!?! That's freaking incredible! You are a super player! I tried to work on getting all 100's but I'm struggling like crazy. Haven't even gotten all 100's in a single world yet...that's really impressive!

@mikekazz5353 Год назад

Just the fact that Yoshi isn't just a character, little buddy is a concept.

@__Soya__ 4 месяца назад

Incorrect. There are specific Yoshis, just like Toads. The 2 most well known ones are the Yoshi we see in most modern games and spinoffs who first appeared in Super Mario World and is one of the 7 Star children. The 2nd Yoshi is the Yoshi in all the Yoshi Island games and potentially the old yoshi in Paper Mario.

I actually played Yoshi in the RU-vid web series Stupid Mario Brothers. He was my favorite from my childhood so it seemed rather fitting. When Richie (the web show's creator) approached me to play the role, I said yes, but I insisted that Yoshi doesn't talk, but to use the sound effects from the games instead, taking a page from Chewbacca, because, at the time, I honestly couldn't think of a voice that worked and I definitely didn't want him to sound like how he did in the DIC animated show. Richie thankfully agreed and obliged. It was a good costume, but damn was it near impossible to see with the head on and remember my marks in filming and hear "cut" from a large distance. Anyway, as a fan of the character I really liked your video. Thanks.

By far the most unusual incarnation of Yoshi is their inclusion in Super Mario Sunshine. They hatch from eggs after being fed a specific fruit like always, but don’t come in green unless if they are close to death, they can spew a strange juice like substance that can turn enemies into platforms, and dissolve when in water. It’s implied that these yoshies are not real yoshies, but rather paint creatures created by the magic paintbrush Bowser Jr stole, like with the enemies you face.

@thecreatorofpc7929 Год назад

Yoshi is a Pokémon think about it. The Yoshi species is only capable of saying their name like most Pokémon and only a select few can actually speak plus Yoshi eggs look like Pokémon eggs the evidence stacks up perfectly. Case closed, mystery solved next question.

He'd be a Dragon/Flying for sure if that was the case. He does rock the durability and capacity for punishment that a dragon would have, and has shown time and time again to be very proficient in the air, plus his many ways of gaining wings, whether naturally or by power-up.

@supersonicmario56 Год назад

I read somewhere that (the main) Yoshi's full name was Yoshisaur T. Muchikoopa, implying that the Yoshi species itself was either meant to be called Yoshisaurs, if they were truly meant to be Yoshis, or Muchikoopas, if they were meant to be a branch of the koopas.

@werewook Год назад

The Japanese word for dinosaur is 恐竜 (kyouryuu, literally "scary dragon") so calling him a dragon is just an extension of that. Lots of Japanese media will liken dinosaurs to dragons because of this. I guess a relevant example is Tyrunt and Tyrantrum being half dragon type in Pokemon.

@LordLemmysLabs Год назад

Usually I watch deep dives on Mario characters like this already knowing pretty much everything about the character's history, just watching to appreciate the well articulated and researched video. But I legitimately learned a few new things from this! Like the Yoshi species being a unisex, asexually reproducing species. In real life, a species like that would be considered all "female", but Nintendo being Nintendo wants to be able to justify having Yoshi be a "male" but still lay eggs, so they decided "oh, they technically don't have a gender" to be as simplistic as possible. Nintendo just unintentionally turned Yoshi into a non-binary icon! I love it! lol

My guess: Yoshi is a dinosaur, since a lot of dinosaurs in Japanese media (anime, manga, tokusatsu movies and TV shows, and video games) have dragon-like features (e.g. breathing fire, think Godzilla, Agumon from Digimon, the T-rex from Dinosaur King, or T-Rex from Fossil Fighters). After all, the Japanese word for “dinosaur” (kyōryū) can also be translated as “terrible dragon”, and dinosaur and prehistoric animal fossils were once mistaken as dragon bones in the past (especially in ancient China, Japan, and Korea).

@nicholaslienandjaja1815 2 месяца назад

Additionally, Yoshi’s Classic Mode route in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is called Jurassic Journey (Jurassic Island in Japanese). And Gomboss (the giant Goomba boss) in Super Mario 64 DS called him a “prehistoric wimp”.

@ImmortalAbsol Год назад

I don't see why he can't be all three, or at least a dragon from the time of the dinosaurs but closely related to what would become koopa/tortoises. Also, even if he is sexless he could still have a romantic interest in Birdo, despite the fact both can reproduce asexually.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought that- it certainly doesn't help that popular fanimation Super Mario Bros. Z also used that in its lore.

17:43 I would love for Nintendo to do a remake of Yoshi's Island but actually use colored pencil style 2D hand-drawn animation for the sprites.

What the, I just saw a Game Theory video about the same subject from about 8 months ago yesterday. Also they suggested Yoshi was a Koopa.

"The Japanese word for dinosaur contains the character for dragon" - I feel like this might be the most important point. Seems like culturally, they associate those with each other that switching back and forth would feel natural. Like how we often associate Donkey Kong with "monkey" even though he isn't one.
