Many a moon ago I draw up a Yoshi game entitled "Yoshi's Journey" which went through many design phases, including one where Yoshi had a baby bird on his back (a a result of Banjo obsession).
No complaining from me on that idea. I had a Yoshi game idea too. "Yoshi 64". Intro has a Yoshi face you can squash and stretch, because at the time I thought the intros of all N64 games would be the main character's face (which is why my idea of a SimAnt game on N64 was scary). Yoshi explores a huge field that's just like Hyrule Field except it's called Yoshi Field, he travels to the Bermuda Triangle, Boshi is back, Yoshi fights Bowser in a warehouse or cabin or something, and the damsel in distress is a pink female Yoshi. But the focus was still on 3D adventure.
For all intents and purposes, I could have just stuck Yoshi in some worlds from Banjo-Kazooie or Zelda Ocarina of Time and that still would have worked. Maybe Yoshi would have used his tongue as a Hookshot.

Yep, just had to overkill the joke with a tired fad. There should be a word for people like that.
