| Run |
Yoshi's easiest and most basic move. Without this simple move, Yoshi couldn't do anything!
|
| Flutter Jump |
 Yoshi's excellent jump can keep him in the air for a long time. In Super Smash Bros, he has one less jump than everyone else, but his flutter jump is excellent, and is either as good as, or nearly as good as 2 jumps. As well, the flutter jump can help Yoshi reach higher places than just a regular jump, and allow him to stay in the air for lengthy periods of time (Yoshi's Island DS).
|
| Ground Pound |
 This really cute move is slightly harder to use than some of trhe others, but it is reliable and Yoshi couldn't last without it. Yoshi's ground pound even changes the colour of shyguys that are near him.
|
| Lick |
 This is Yoshi's trademark move. Yoshi has the original ability to eat almost anything. Yoshi has eaten everything from bad guys, to P buttons. This is a move that absolutely no other character can do (well, mario character anyway).
|
| Throw |
 Yoshi can shoot eggs that he has trailing behind him. He will eat a shyguy etc, and they will turn into an egg. Yoshi can then use them to aim at otherbadguys and hit flying qustion mark clouds. This is a very important one of Yoshi's moves!
|
| Sniff |
 Yoshi can use this unique ability to his advantage by sniffing out hidden treats or fruit.
|
| Fly |
| This ability was invented in 1991 for Super Mario World. Blue Yoshi had the special ability to fly with any coloured shell koopa, whereas Green Yoshi needed a blue shell or magic wings. |
| Stomp |
| This ability was invented in 1991 (Super Mario World) and isn't the same thing as ground pound however similar they may seem. With this move, Yellow Yoshi uses a koopa shell to stomp the ground whereas Green Yoshi needs a Yellow shell (I don't mean to put down green yoshi, but thats just the way it is.) |
| Fireball |
| This ability was also invented in 1991 (Super Mario World). Red yoshi could spit out fireballs when he swallowed a koopa shell. Once again, origional yoshi needed a red shell for this. |
| Juice Squirt |
 This move was created in 2002 for the game Super Mario Sunshine. Yoshi eats a fruit, and with the juice, he is able to shoot a powerful stream of juice. The colour of the juice depends on the type of fruit yoshi eats.
