Yoshi (character)/Powers and abilities

This page shows all of the powers and abilties of Yoshi.

Physical Abilties
Yoshi is well known for is average strength and speed but amazing jumping (even better than Luigi's).

Eating/Tongue
Yoshi's is most known for his trademark tongue. His tongue is very long but the length is depending on the game. Yoshi can use his tongue to grab onto enemies and eat them and turn them into eggs in the process. However, in some games (mainly the 2-D platformers), Yoshi simply swallows them without turning them into eggs. As seen in Super Mario Galaxy 2, Yoshi is physically strong enough to use his tongue to latch onto walls and pull them out. He is also able to fling himself and Mario with his tongue. Yoshi can pretty much eat any enemy including Chain Chomp's in some games but cannot consume larger enemies such as Thwomps. He also can't fully swallow shell enemies such as Koopa Troopas and Spinys unless the player keeps that shell enemy in his mouth where Yoshi will eventually swallow it.

Flutter Jump
Another one of Yoshi's skills his his Flutter Jump. By kicking his feet in the air, Yoshi can hover in the air for a short time to get him a little extra height.
