I wouldn't call it "the baby design." Calling it that is poisoning the well; nobody's going to vote for it now. What would I call it? I don't know, maybe just the new design.I don't like the old long-necked vestigial-armed Yoshi much. Feels more primitive and dependent, less intelligent--he mindlessly runs into boiling lava and bottomless pits in Super Mario World. Then he's made the hero in Super Mario 64 DS, where he has to save Mario. And that was pretty cool.
I think the original intent of the stubby Yoshi was that he was a baby, but this seems to have been dropped since around SMS & SM64DS.
Ever notice that Yoshis and Koopa Troopas are starting to have really similar heads?
