Yoshi

Yoshi is the triagonist of Super Mario Ultra.

Section heading
Yoshi found out about when Bowser and the Koopalings stole all the power stars so he decides to go and look for them, but Kamek then traps him in a dome so he can't do it.

Later on, Mario sees what happened to Yoshi and then easily defeats Kamek which destroys the dome and Mario can crack open Yoshi's egg. Yoshi thanks Mario for saving him and offers him to hop on his back, and he assists Mario on his adventure. After this level, Yoshi moves into 416 Mushroom Drive and keeps on helping Mario (or Luigi, Wario or Waluigi) on his adventure.

Yoshi has the ability to perform Flutter Jumps, but he cannot do Triple Jumps. Additionally, he is faster than all of Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. He can eat objects when players target them with the stylus and press the X/Y button. If players want to stop riding Yoshi, they must hold down ZL/ZR and press A/B. Yoshi can swim in this game, but he cannot dive, and like in Super Mario Galaxy 2, Yoshi cannot do Ground Pounds, since the command to do so is instead used as part of the command to make Mario jump off.

Also, like in the past games, if Mario takes damage while on Yoshi, Yoshi runs off. If he is not mounted for a while, Yoshi retreats into his egg in the nest where he was initially encountered in the area. Lava or certain fire attacks also send Yoshi back to his egg.
