Learn More About The Yoshi Drawing

The dinosaurlike Yoshi debuted in the video game Super Mario World in 1990. He is a sidekick of Mario and Luigi.

Yoshi hatches from an egg and he is capable of devouring enemies with his large mouth. Yoshi has a long, prehensile, sticky tongue that he uses to grab characters, reach distant objects, and as a grappling hook.

His large nose helps him find hidden objects, and he can construct an egg around himself for protection. Characters can ride Yoshi as they would a horse.

The Yoshi or Yoshisaur species (originally a type of Koopa) live on Yoshi's Island and come in many colors. They may be green, orange, red, yellow, pink, fuschia, violet, or blue.

In some games, color denotes special characteristics.
