Peter Travers recently said that the Dark Knight "Soars on the wings of untamed imagination."

Don't know how true that is, but I sure as Hell think it applies to Blue Yoshi.

Blue Yoshi > Red Yoshi > Yellow Yoshi > Green Yoshi

Blue Yoshi wins just for flying.

#3 Posted by Relys (984 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I want Blue Yoshi to have my babies... That's just how awesome they are.

#4 Posted by bededog (20 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Indeed Blue Yoshi is full of win.

#5 Posted by JerryArr (43 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yeah... Blue Yoshi is almost cheating.

#6 Posted by Feanor (1348 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Blue Yoshi is pretty much a free pass through the level.

#7 Posted by Wyld (265 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Blue Yoshi needs to learn how to hold that shell in his mouth and stop swallowing the damn thing. If he could master that he could fly forever.

#8 Posted by BiffMcBlumpkin (3705 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

You can't hold it in forever. Eventually you have to spit or swallow.

I always loved going after a Blue Yoshi then telling the little deserter to come back when he runs away. Then going to get another one. I still could probably do that for hours. xD

#10 Posted by mr_muffins (20 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

yes bule  Yoshi  is the best

#11 Posted by Dolphin_Butter (1871 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Then why is Boshi so easy to beat in Super Mario RPG?  Still, flying is a great plus.

#12 Posted by Fr0Br0 (3066 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Brucie would choose Blue Yoshi.

#13 Posted by ThaMilkMan (312 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yeah without a doubt Brucie's favorite Yoshi is of the Blue variety PLUS How Can you beat flying?

#14 Posted by Blueblur1 (332 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yellow Yoshi's pound is kinda of useless, Red Yoshi's flames aren't that useful since they're meager and limited. But Blue Yoshi soars sky high with any Koopa and that's enough to put a smile on anyone's face. I wonder what other colors Yoshis would do if Nintendo made another Mario game in the Super Mario World style...?

You're all wrong, green Yoshi is, of course, the best Yoshi. Green Yoshi can take on the abilities of every other colored yoshi. You eat a blue shell, you can fly. You eat a yellow shell you can ground pound. You see where I'm going here. Green Yoshi has the abilities of every other Yoshi. It's not even a contest.

Doesn't Blue Yoshi still shoot fire once he's swallowed a red shell? He just gets to fly with it first from what I remember. I dunno if that applies to yellow shell and the stomp too or not. Either way, Green Yoshi can only do things when the right shell is around. Blue Yoshi can fly all the time no matter what Koopa shell it is. Being able to bypass most of a level whether it has a blue shell in it or not is the coolest power IMO.

Yeah, Blue Yoshi flies with any shell, Green Yoshi only flies when he swallows a blue shell. Green Yoshi is weak, like the Ukraine.

I know he does fly with all shells. What I'm wondering is does he still pound the ground when he lands and has a yellow shell? Does he still spit fire when he's done using a red shell? I thought he did but I'm not sure... I need to replay this game again.... But I'm too cheap to pay $20 for the classic controller to play it on the Virtual Console!
#19 Posted by BiffMcBlumpkin (3705 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yep, when Blue Yoshi eats a yellow shell he can stomp or fly, when he eats a red one he can spit fire or fly.

Then DuckofDoom was wrong!  If Blue Yoshi can do anything Green Yoshi can and always fly then it definitely is no contest. Blue Yoshi wins. xD

It is unfortunate that blue Yoshi was considered OP and they had to nerf him to be like all the other Yoshi's.

#22 Posted by Termite (2393 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

No, green yoshi is the original.

He wins!

#23 Posted by RowdyRob (206 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

Blue Yoshi uses teh haxx. Which makes him l337.

#24 Posted by MikPick (333 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

Blue Yoshi was awesome.

#25 Posted by alecscradle (63 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

Also blue is the sweetest color of them all

blue Yoshi was cool.  Black yoshi from yoshi's story looks cooler though.

#28 Posted by Monopolized (413 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

What about the infamous black Yoshi that I was told when I was kid was the evil Yoshi who would make you eat his eggs if you didn't clean your room...oh happy childhood.

#29 Posted by psr388 (268 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

blue yoshi is the master race

#30 Posted by JIT3893 (63 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

I love Blue Yoshi, I always choose it, I hate the red one because you can never spit out the shell wihout it turning it into fire.

#31 Posted by chililili (1328 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

Blue yoshi is the uber-yoshi. It can fly and breathe underwater as long as it wants. Basically it is the ultimate killing machine.

Please, Green Yoshi can only fly when he eats a blue shell.

Blue Yoshi does everything special the Green Yoshi does (fire with red shells, stomp with yellow,) but he flies with every shell he holds in his mouth.... he doesn't need a blue shell to fly. Blue Yoshi is the ultimate Yoshi, he's broken. Blue Yoshi is broken like the P Wing was. Broken and awesome.

Green Yoshi = Worst Yoshi
#34 Posted by Derios (412 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago
Whatever any yoshi's better than red yoshi.
#35 Posted by Verdugo (2002 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

Blue Yoshi, epic win.

#36 Posted by Jeff (3080 posts) - 4 years, 9 months ago

I would like to be able to shoot fireballs out of my face, but I'd rather be able to fly.
