Yoshi debuted in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', which was released in 1990. However, Shigeru Miyamoto has stated in interviews that he wanted Mario to ride an animal companion after the completion of ''Super Mario Bros.'' Apparently, technical restrictions on the NES kept Mario from being able to ride an animal, but with the development of the Super Famicom in 1990, Yoshi could be created. The character of Yoshi was specifically created by Shigefumi Hino, a graphics designer.

In ''Nintendo Land'', a game for the Wii U, there's a minigame called ''Yoshi Fruit Cart''. In it, the player uses a Yoshi Car to pick up fruit. If they can collect speedy fruit, they also get an egg with bonus points. There are also presents, with checkpoints and coins. If the player can collect all the fruit, a door will open, leading to the next level. There's also a door with a ? on it. Entering it allows a lot of levels to be skipped. There's also Mini Fruit. This fruit is smaller than the other fruit. Plus, there is Flag Fruit. Yoshi can also eat Spicy Fruit to eat all the fruit in his direction. Finally, there's Moving Fruit. This fruit is running around and is difficult to catch. It is important to watch out for pits and bees and watch Yoshi's fuel.

Since his debut in 1990, Yoshi has received positive reception and is considered an icon of Nintendo, as well as being one of the main mascots. Yoshi's popularity has spawned into a successful spin-off with the classic ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. His spin-off contains several main games, puzzles, platforms and sequels. Yoshi has also been shown in a myriad of merchandise such as toys, memorabilia and even Pogs.
