- Both male and female Yoshis have the ability to lay eggs. Some of the newer fighters weren’t aware of this for a while, so they just kept assuming that Yoshi was a girl.
- For some reason, Yoshi can’t say his signature “bring ha” without somebody laughing. Every time he tries to figure out why, they just brush it off and change the subject. I guess they just refuse to show him the video.
- Yoshi is not a picky eater. In fact, eggs are the only thing he doesn’t like. Whenever the fighters order takeout, he always gives a stink eye to the egg rolls.
- He has a stomach of steel, so no matter what ends up in his belly, he'll always be fine.
- Despite having short arms, he has one hell of a throw. He's known around the mansion for being the king of javelin competitions.
- He's actually famous among his kind, and also considered super attractive. The Yoshis that he summons during his Final Smash are actually just a horde of his fans.
- He's taken on the role of being everybody's personal hype man. He'll cheer people on whether they're battling their hearts out or folding laundry.
- He and Duck Hunt like chasing each other's tails. He knows that his tail is just another part of him, but it's still fun to chase.
- Yoshi is horrible at dancing. He's capable of doing only one dance move and it's just moving around in a circle.
- During the summer, Yoshi runs a snow cone stand to raise funds for the mansion (yes, he knows how to operate a snow cone machine, don't underestimate a Yoshi).
- He'll take every opportunity he can to put lost bugs outside. If he accidentally smushes it, he'll get very sad and start crying. Once, he killed a fly by accident and wouldn't stop crying for twenty minutes.
- He'll give rides to anyone and everyone (yes, even Sephiroth and Kazuya). Wario saw this as a money-making opportunity and forced fighters to cough up ten bucks for a lap around the mansion.
- Yoshi enjoys the little things in life. He doesn't need much to make himself happy.
- Sometimes, he just enjoys sitting outside and looking up at the clouds. He and Kirby will point out which ones look like flowers, animals, other fighters, etc.
- Sponge cake is his favorite. Don't ask him why, he doesn't know either.
- Duck Hunt, Mario, and Kirby are his three closest friends. He loves showing them dinosaur memes.
- For Yoshi's birthday, the fighters took a trip to a dinosaur theme park and the four of them got lost. They forgot to take a map on their way in and just started running around all over the place. They were taking pictures with a T-Rex statue when they realized they lost the other fighters. Mario took responsibility and adopted a leadership role. Keeping their eyes peeled, the group traveled through the insanely large park in search of the others. There was a giant volcano in the heart of the place, so they climbed up to the top to get a bird's eye view. Unfortunately for them, they didn't realize they were in line for the Magma Coaster, so they were unwillingly shoved onto the ride. Let's just say Mario's spaghetti and meatballs didn't stay in his stomach after that one.
- After the horrifying ride, they stumbled across the koopalings, who'd purposely separated themselves from the rest of the fighters. Somehow, their encounter led to a soccer match using Lemmy's bouncy ball. They got halfway through the game before Kirby got hungry and swallowed the ball. The koopalings got really angry at him, then Yoshi also got angry at him because he was hungry too, and then Lemmy started crying because that was his favorite ball. Poor Mario tried to stop all this chaos while the Duck Hunt duo just sat there in disbelief.
- Thankfully, the rest of the fighters were finally able to find them. Bowser was worried sick about his kids and scolded them for running away, then got poor Lemmy some ice cream to make him feel better. Samus put her hands on her hips and shook her head in disbelief. "Why didn't you just use Duck Hunt to track us down?" As soon as she finished that sentence, Mario wanted to kick himself for not having thought of that before.
- Overall, the trip was very chaotic, but Yoshi still loved every second of it.
- When Yoshi can't sleep at night, he'll go outside and feed the raccoons. There's a particularly spunky one that he named Rocket.
- He gets dizzy easily, so dancing is tough for him.
- He and Pac-Man will sometimes trade fruit with each other. Yoshi will give over his pineapples and bananas in exchange for some of Pac-Man's cherries.
- Yoshi loves the outdoors. Spring and summer days are always spent outside.
- He really loves fish! His favorites are yellowtail and snapper.
- Yoshi has the biggest sweet tooth. Chocolates, gummies, puddings, pastries, he loves them all.
- Yoshi and Kirby love making sweets together. They love making snow cones and cotton candy the most, but they're always up to try new things.
- Bayonetta gave him an orchid plant for his birthday and he treasures it. It still stands tall on his windowsill, which surprised everyone because they thought he would've eaten it by now.
- Knit him a sweater and he'll love you for life.
- Despite what some might think, he'surprisingly good at basketball. When deciding on teams, he's always picked first. What he lacks in height, he makes up for in accuracy. No one in the mansion has ever seen him miss a basket.
- He always begs to put the star on top of the Christmas tree. Kirby helps boost him up so he can reach.
- Yoshi and Kirby are honestly the most wholesome duo in the mansion.
- He used to be Mario's taste tester, but ended up eating all the food on multiple occasions.
- Shulk tried to make scrambled eggs for breakfast once, but Yoshi tackled him to the ground. Everyone has since learned never to cook fresh eggs with Yoshi around.
- He has tons of pen pals. Although he can't speak English, he can write it perfectly, right down to the punctuation mark.
- His favorite song from the Smash soundtrack is Yoshi's Story from Melee. It gives him nice vacation vibes.
Note: Hope you enjoyed these! Next up, the notorious, adorable pink ball of destruction!
