Yoshi adds enemy eating, shell abilities and an extra jump option, with important limits indoors.

Riding and dismounting
Jump onto an adult Yoshi to ride. Use the run button for his tongue and the spin-jump button to dismount. A hit usually sends Yoshi running away; recover him before he reaches a pit. Yoshi waits outside castles, fortresses and Ghost Houses.
Shell abilities
| Shell in Yoshi’s mouth | Effect |
|---|---|
| Green | Can be spat as a shell; no extra color ability. |
| Red | Spit three fireballs. |
| Blue | Fly while holding the shell. |
| Yellow | Make a damaging dust cloud when landing. |
| Flashing | Combines the red, blue and yellow abilities. |
Yoshi colors and growth
Red, blue and yellow Yoshis add their own color ability to the shell’s ability. Feed a Baby Yoshi enough food to grow it; a power-up can grow it immediately. Star World provides colored Baby Yoshis.
Hazards and wings
Yoshi can walk on Munchers and eat many enemies, but cannot swallow everything: Chargin’ Chucks and large Dino-Rhinos need another approach. 
Yoshi’s Wings send a mounted rider into a bonus area; on SNES they also turn Yoshi blue.
