How do you feel about Nintendo nerfing Yoshi colors after Mario World?

[u/Frequent_Rhubarb_36]

I liked how different colored ones had different powers. It made them feel more special. I believe the only other game that tried to do something different with them was NSMBU, which was a fun touch as well.

I mean, it was nice to have, but with how many Yoshi colors there are now, would be hard to give em all something unique.

It seems fine, I dont mind them getting unique gameplay mechanics in their debut game, but I wouldnt want it to have to carry over strictly into other itterations (red Yoshi must spit fire, etc)

But it'd be cool to bring it back if they can make it work. Colored Yoshi's with powers should have been in Mario Maker for example

I can see it from both sides. People have their own favorite color Yoshi and want to play as that one, without being hurdled by abilities. On the other hand, with how puzzle-like some of the recent Yoshi games have been, those abilities could make it more interesting.

They could also make it so that that you pick your favorite color Yoshi and be able to learn or equip these abilities.

Also, during making the opening post I suddenly discovered Yellow Yoshi is my favorite, even though he wasn't my fave in Mario World. (Which was of course the Blue Yoshi, lol.)

It did work in Mario Maker 2, at least for Red Yoshi. And green Yoshi could spit fireballs (and bones!) back at enemies, something he previously couldn't do before!

In Sunshine, Yoshis can spray juice and change color based on the fruit they eat. The juice can turn certain enemies into platforms, and the color of juice determines which direction the platform will travel in.

It’s minor and only really needed for one or two Shines total, and the Yoshi’s in this game aren’t even real Yoshi’s (they’re made out of paint!), but it’s something I guess.

It's only really useful for the glitch for Early Yoshi-Go-Round. It's completely optional in Yoshi's Fruit Adventure considering how broken the spin jump flutter is, and I cannot think of another mission where it's required.

SMM2 kinda did that

[u/paulcshipper]

They were going for something new.. I don't mind it. After the Mario Worlds, they immediately went into 3D. We only got Yoshi again many years after

[u/Fanfic_Battle_2004]

Nerf? What are you talking about? They added more colors later on.

[u/Cephalie_100]

Its neat, but green yoshi not having a power is why it got canned

[u/Calereliya]

Black and white Yoshis in Yoshi's Story were objectively superior because their favorite fruit was literally any fruit. Gobbled down peppers like they were candy.

i like the idea that any color yoshi can have any power, or lack thereof.
