Considered after the development of Super Mario Bros. and the NES release of Yoshi's Cookie, Yoshi's early design differs greatly from the finished appearance

Although he was introduced on the SNES in 1990, Yoshi was also the star of two self-titled games for the original NES released in ' 92 and ' 93: Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie, respectively.

Yoshi's Cookie was later remade and included in the compilation game Nintendo Puzzle Collection, released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube in Japan.

Their review of Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3 criticizes it more so than in the review of Super Mario Advance 2, because Nintendo chose to remove several mini-games found in the Super NES version of that game and replace them with an identical version of the Mario Bros. game found in previous versions.

Changing into a Tanooki statue while jumping would result in Mario pounding the ground and killing whatever enemies are directly under him, this marked the first appearance of the " Ground Pound " move in a Mario game, a move that would later be given to Yoshi in Yoshi's Island and that would later become part of Mario's standard moveset in Super Mario 64 and all subsequent games.

Yoshi proved to be popular in his debut, which caused the next game in the series, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, to focus on his species.

In Yoshi's Story, Super Smash Bros., Mario Tennis, and almost every game since Super Smash Bros. Melee, his vocals consist of high-pitched baby-ish squeals backed with numerous unintelligible words and his own name.

This game spawned a prequel entitled Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island for the Super Nintendo in which the player could control Yoshi in order to keep Baby Mario out of harm's way as they advanced through the game.

This led to a spin-off series of games including Yoshi's Safari for the SNES, Yoshi's Story for the Nintendo 64, Yoshi's Universal Gravitation for the Game Boy Advance, and a number of games for the Nintendo DS, including Yoshi Touch & Go, Yoshi's Island DS, and Super Mario 64 DS.

The English translation of Yoshi's Safari ( 1993 ) marked the first usage of the name " Peach " outside of Japan ; however, the name did not catch on at that time, as the game itself was not very popular.

Throughout the game, Kamek tries to stop Yoshi by dispatching his minions all across the island and by using magic spells to transform normal enemies into more powerful creatures that further impede Yoshi's progress.

Yoshi's Island, the location of Super Mario World 2s action, is used as the backdrop for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Game Boy puzzle game Tetris Attack.

While the game's overall sound effects were designed by Hajime Wakai, the palette of vocal expressions for Yoshi were recorded by Kazumi Totaka, making Yoshi's Story the first game to feature a voice for the dinosaur.

The game features an interactive soundtrack, where the music will change according to the high and low ends of Yoshi's mood.
