In the latest trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a certain green fan-favorite engages in a highly-entertaining activity.
One of Nintendo’s most popular Mario franchise characters, Yoshi is a little green dinosaur that Mario first encountered, rescued, and befriended in the 1990 Super Nintendo video game, Super Mario World, which hit the U.S. a year later.
A nonverbal character, Yoshi first served as a loyal steed to Mario but he’s since evolved into a hugely popular, playable character across game titles.
