Title: Question Regarding Yoshi(s)
Post by: NintendoIke64 on January 09, 2004, 05:00:01 PM
Okay. Is yoshi the species' name, or is it one specific dinosaur's name? And if so, what is their species called? Same with Toad. Is that just his name, or also what you call people with mushrooms growing out of their heads. Speaking off, are they really growing out of their heads, or are they hats? Huh? Huh?? Huh???
Huh????
Made you look.

All yoshis are named Yoshi, they are sometimes classified by color (re: Green Yoshi, Blue Yoshi, ect.) Toads, however, have different names (re: Toadsworth, Toadette, ect.) and only one toad is named Toad (re: Toad). The mushroom head on top of their head is part of their head, and the part with their face is basically the mushroom stump.

Yoshi is the name of the species and the name of the green yoshi that hangs out with the bros. So it's Yoshi the yoshi. It's the same with toads.Toad is the name of the species and the name of the kingdom courier that gives the bros advice. So it's Toad the toad. Birdo what are you talking about? Not all yoshis are named Yoshi. Haven't you ever heard of Boshi? Oh, and the big red and white thing is part of Toad's head.. not a hat (but good guess).

The evil scientist Dr. sadib100 and his assistant NintendoIke64 begin developing a plan to get rid of crazy stupid newbies once and for all! But, low and behold, the newbies are not cooperating...
That would make a pretty cool idea for a comic book...just kidding! I'm more of a stupid crazy newbie than many people here, with the exception of a few, such as, Killa Of PS2, GiftedGirl, Nintendo Boy, and Parayoshi. And Mooneye(was it...821???) but, I don't think he/she really counts. Those of you aroung for the "revelation" know what I'm talking about.

Re: Species and proper names=
In recent years, it has become a confusing issue. *Is* there a specific Yoshi and Toad, or are they just one of many? The answer: both.
Think of it this way: It would be the same as having a human named Human. He's a human being, yet his proper title is also Human. Confusing? Sure. But it helps explain the issue.
Toad is a specific Mushroom Person who is close friends with the Mario Bros. and Princess Peach. "Toads" is a way of refering to the race of Mushroom People. Thusly, Toad is a "Toad."
Likewise Yoshi is a "Yoshi", but also is one singular Green Yoshi close friends with the Mushroom Kingdom crew. And for that matter, in very recent time, Birdo is a specific "birdo."
It's a little wacky, but it works. And it gives the specific characters of Toad and Yoshi a little more deserved props.
And there you have it.

That was a good summation of the concept.
What about people named "Guy", though?

I hadn't even thought about "Guy." That's a perfect example, and just a bit more common than Human. heh heh

That still doesn't really expalin why all the toads have to have the word "toad" in them. I mean there's Toadette, Toadsworth, Toadofsky... the list goes on.
Also, here's another topic. In Super Mario Advance, who here (besides me) hates the voice of Birdo when she says, "This is as far as you go!"?
Made you look.
Title: Re: Question Regarding Yoshi(s)
Post by: n/a on January 11, 2004, 04:47:09 PM
1. Birdo is not a salad dressing.
2. Actually, if you painted a Yoshi pink and cut off its mouth...
3. Yes, Birdo's voice is extremely annoying, but that just makes it sweeter beating him. I think Toad's voice is even more annoying, especially when he dies.

Some toads do not have toad in their name, Like Tase T. or Russ T. from Paper Mario. The T may stand for toad, however.

Post by: WanWan on January 11, 2004, 07:48:28 PM
There's more than one in SMB2, actually--they come in three colors and spit out different things, so I don't think it's all the same Birdo. (Or is the three colors thing only in SMAS?)
Edited because I misread a post.

No, there were Pink, Red, and Green Birdos in SMB2 for NES as well, and DDP, I think.

Post by: Hope(N Forever) on January 12, 2004, 09:43:38 AM
Hey! Look at my defenitions of 'Yoshi':
1-A species of a mammalian reptile, with an anatomy similar to dinosaurs, that resides in tropical regions of the Mushroom World - the Lava Lands; they have long tongues, both genders lay eggs all the time, eat far more than their own body mass, are very intelligent and come in variaties of skin (scale) colours. 2-The name of a particular green-colured Yoshi who is close friends with the Mario Brothers and the Mushroom Kingdom's princess. 3-A male Japanese name.
As on the subject of Birdos, the pink Birdo is called Birdo. The Birdo is a rare species, and is only found in the Sub-Con. Very few where ever seen.
Am I good or what!?
I am a pure Super Mario lover!! ...and in no point in the future will he ever be abandonded by me! I will even drawn the best Super Mario comics ever to exist!!

Good, except "mammalian reptile" is an impossible contradiction. Yoshis have nothing to do with mammals.

Um... Hope(N Forever), Yoshi is also a female name. I have a friend named Yoshi, she is Japanese and also female. My pet bugie is female and I named her Yoshi. I know Yoshi sounds like a boys name, but it's for both genders.

Birdo is sometimes found outside of subcon, she is also in the BeanBean kingdom.

Mariopeda definition: The name "Yoshi" is both a collective and proper noun. "Yoshi," in the collective sense, refers to a species of intelligent dinosaurs that inhabit several islands scattered around the Mushroom World. Yoshis come in a variety of different colors, with each color displaying unique characteristics and behavior. Yoshi, in the proper sense, refers to the Green Yoshi that is Mario's best friend. This is the Yoshi who helped unite the abandoned Mario Brothers in SMW2, so it is probably safe to assume that Mario has a close bond with this particular dinosaur.
Yoshis communicate through their own language of grunts, "zips," and name repetition. Mario's Green Yoshi friend is the only member of the species that he is able to understand.
It is not entirely clear if there is such a thing as a "female" Yoshi, although it is interesting to note that male Yoshis seem perfectly capable of egg-laying.

I've always assumed that the Mario Bros. didn't meet Yoshi until Super Mario World, and that the ones who saved them in Yoshi's Island were just of the same species.
Thank you HulkaMario, but your WWF Championship belt is in another castle!

Another good explanation of Yoshies.
Personally, I think that male Yoshies lay eggs that aren't reproductive in nature, while the female Yoshies can lay both. This is not based on anything; just a thought I like to entertain.
