Are they really? =(

Okay... yoshis eat things and lay eggs... and we've seen eggs hatch into yoshis... but we never see the entire process. This could mean that the eggs produced by yoshis which eat things are just a metabolic quirk, and have nothing to do with the eggs that contain baby yoshis. This is a plausible explanation for why the seemingly affectionate yoshis would fling these eggs at anything that moves.

As for where the real yoshi eggs come from (the ones that would hatch into new yoshis), I propose that there is a yoshi "hive-queen" producing all of them. Due to nintendo's focus on family-friendly content, it is natural that we wouldn't have been exposed to the hive queen, because it would be a horrible spectacle to behold. Discuss.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, in the "modern" version of Chef in the Game&Watch gallery games, Yoshi does eat food and then produce an egg which hatches into another yoshi. I feel safe, however, dismissing these mini-games from the official canon.

Yeah. Yeah they are really.

And the Mario universe makes no sense so why not have the eggs laid by males.

maybe yoshi lays the eggs while birdo fertilizes the eggs at a later time.

Weird, a question about Yoshi's saddle turned into a 3 page topic ...

Well like you said Kratos, we may never understand the Mario universe.

Hence the whole "shrooms" deal.

What I've always wondered, is what exactly are the holes in many of the older Mario games? Does Mario just fall off of a cliff and die? Are they all floating islands like some levels in Mario 64? Do they warp to another dimension where Mario turns into Luigi and then Chrono pops out of nowhere?

Hm ...

Yeah, why did ya do that? Maybe that is some coding that should be fixed....yeah...

Anyway, I have proof that, well, nothing. I was just bored and made this real quick. It proves something but I don't know what.

Ooh, transition on the egg could be better. For one you need to fix it (and miyamoto's hands) looking so pixelated, and give it a proper lighting effect.

naw, I wouldn't worry about the quality. I'm sure you know that you can do better if it were some big project, thus it looks fine for being thrown together.

another yoshi question:

the only word that yoshi can seem to say nowadays is "yoshi". But, in SMW yoshi seemed to have a lot to say to mario when they first met. Is this proof of the devolution of the yoshi race?

As was demonstrated in some comic I saw once, the word "yoshi" is the entire Yoshi lexicon, which does not hinder how well they can communicate with each other but does set up a rather tremendous language barrier for those not fluent in the language. I think in SMW Yoshi just had a translator, possibly based out of the block from which he emerged.

I was thinking that he just handed you a note with the words on it when he got out, personally. Yoshis are smart and could probably write something like it.

Occam's razor favors the note hypothesis, but fuck Occam anyway. There were translating micro-droids in Mario's brain, and they recieved orders from an alternate dimension where Luigi was the dominant brother. In space. With lasers.

Remember SMRPG? Mario couldn't understand the Yoshies (except for the green one, who translated for him)

I actually did not remember that, as I've only played through it once since I didn't like the game too much... Though now I vaguely recall it... But, I wouldn't exactly call it's storyline canonical.

Well sorry for ruining the biggest spoiler of your life. =\

Besides the spoiler is still there ... just not the black background, wow.

In Lemmy's Land, Yoshi speaks English, but like a three-year-old.

Then again, Lemmy's Land is weird.
