The Yoshi series consists of puzzle and platformer games that is a spin-off of the Super Mario franchise, starring the green dinosaur, Yoshi. Although the primary character of the Yoshi series is Yoshi himself, Baby Mario and the other baby characters often feature in the games, riding on Yoshi's back
History
Yoshi, the main character of the Yoshi series.
The series' main character, Yoshi the cute little dinosuar, first appeared in Super Mario World for the SNES. The game was popular for multiple reasons, though the introduction of Yoshi is one of the more notable events that occurred in the game. Nintendo later made a sequel to the game which can arguably be considered a Yoshi title rather than a Mario title, seeing as how Yoshi is the star while Mario is a secondary character.
