🍄Yoshi has a variety of abilities that stand out relative to other characters in the Mario series. Yoshi's prehensile tongue can extend a considerable distance to grab distant objects or access otherwise out-of-reach areas. After grabbing objects, Yoshi may swallow the object to produce a distinctive spotted egg, which can then be thrown; eggs are in fact the primary "logo" of Yoshi in multiplayer games. Another signature technique is the "Flutter Jump" which extends the duration of a jump and slows Yoshi's descent. Like Mario, Luigi and a few other characters, Yoshi is also a noted user of the "Ground Pound", which involves dropping bottom-first after a jump in order to destroy blocks or damage opponents. Yoshi's large nose unsurprisingly allows for the detection of hidden collectibles as well as flowers by smell and, as demonstrated in the Super Smash Bros. series, may be used as an offensive weapon. The Yoshi species appear in a variety of colors. This is generally a cosmetic difference used to differentiate individuals. However, in some games, the color of a Yoshi provides additional abilities: in Super Mario World red Yoshis can breathe fire, blue Yoshis have wings, and yellow Yoshis produce damaging dust clouds on landing. In other games eating fruit changes a Yoshi's color and provides an ability: orange, pink, and purple Yoshis in Super Mario Sunshine can spit fruit juice to defeat enemies and create platforms; while Yoshi can turn red, light blue, or yellow in Super Mario Galaxy 2 upon eating fruit and respectively attain super speed, the ability to inflate like a balloon, or the ability to produce a platform-enabling glow. Yoshis of various colors appear often in multiplayer games as alternate choices which may or may not have specific stats.
